2. Marisa Jahn, FF Alumn, at The Greene Space, Manhattan, Jan. 11, and more

Artist Marisa Morán Jahn will host a salon at WNYC’s The Greene Space as her alter ego, Aphrodite, goddess of love and copper. She’ll be joined on stage by a few guests with expertise in copper who can answer your questions about relationships, betrayals, or revelations (bodily or terrestrial). 

You’ll hear about how copper has been used in reproductive technology for oh, at least the past few millennia. You just might find yourself smitten with this mineral’s “electrowinning” superpowers that humans have harnessed for the past 10,000 years – so bring your copper IUD. 

This live performance with 6-camera broadcast adapts and evolves previous installations and performances at Creative Time, 21c Durham, the stage at Creative Capital, and more. 

and

Marisa Morán Jahn helps launch Collective Wisdom: Co-Creating Media for Equity and Justice, a powerful book about co-creating transmedia authored by creatives and scholars. As a contributor of a few artwork and images who is mentioned in the book, Jahn joins them on stage for a photo-driven storytelling experience with musical accompaniment by Vivek Bald, author of Bengali Harlem.  The photo-share will be followed by a catered reception. The first 180 people to arrive will receive a gifted copy of the book!

About the book by Katerina Cizek and William Uricchio:

5. Penny Arcade, FF Alumn, named Ambassador to The Adelaide Fringe Festival 2023, Australia

I wanted to share the news that I have been named Ambassador to The Adelaide Fringe Festival in 2023. I will be bringing Episode #3 Superstar Interupted , of my episodic musical memoir The Art Of Becoming where I use my 35 year practice of creating live improvisational theatre and performance to write a literary memoir which includes a 10 part podcast. We will be performing February 15th thru February 28th 2023

By the way Longing Lasts Longer  (a meditation on gentrification and hypergentrification and a refutation of Nostalgia) which was created by my long time collaborator Steve Zehentner and I during our first fellowship at  MacDowell in 2014 and over 14 live performances at Joe’s Pub at The Public Theatre  has been performed 207 times in 47 cities around the world, winning many awards in international festivals and is STILL TOURING!

Cheers,

Penny Arcade

Next year marks the 10th anniversary of Fringe’s ambassador program, and the three ambassadors for 2023 will be drag artist Kween Kong (who will perform with fellow Ru Paul’s Drag Race Down Under stars in B.A.Bz in the Wonderland Spiegeltent at Hindmarsh Square), British comedian Sarah Millican (presenting a Fringe show at Thebarton Theatre), and US performance artist Penny Arcade.

Penny Arcade: The Art of Becoming will be the headline show in The Pyramid, a 15m-high pyramid-shaped venue that will host burlesque, music, dance and circus acts in new Fringe precinct Fool’s Paradise in Tarntanyangga / Victoria Square.

The hub is being run by Melbourne-based Head First Acrobats, and will present more than 25 shows across The Pyramid and second venue The Vault ­– a 20m geodesic dome especially designed for circus and physical theatre, where the line-up will include previous Fringe award-winning show GODZ, YUCK Circus and Barbaroi. Fool’s Paradise will also have a bar and food trucks, as well as long-table lunches.

“We started Fool’s Paradise for a multitude of reasons,” says Thomas Gorham, co-founder of both the hub and Head First Acrobats.

“This festival offers so many opportunities, and we’re hoping our site can offer stable financial and working conditions for festival artists after a pretty tough couple of years. Visitors can expect world-class acts within a gorgeous outdoor site with space to enjoy the sunshine, a South Australian wine and connect with the arts scene in Australia’s largest arts festival.”

8. Frank Moore, FF Alumn, in new publication

Frank Moore, FF Alumn, featured in a new book, THE UNCOMFORTABLE ZONES OF FUN: THE TEMESCAL PERIOD 2009-2013

If you wandered the streets of Oakland or Berkeley, California from the mid-1970s through 2013, you likely saw one of Frank Moore’s performance flyers on a telephone pole.

The Temescal period is so named because of the ongoing performance series Moore did at the Temescal Art Center in Oakland, California from 2009 until his death in October 2013. At Temescal Art Center, he found a long-term home for his performance work. He called these performances “experiments in experience/participation performance”. Each performance was a 3-hour improv happening with the audience as the cast. Anyone attending one of these events witnessed a master performer at the peak of his skills. Frank could quickly assess the audience, draw them into the performance, and create an intimate space where everyone felt safe and connected in a way they were not accustomed to, but that felt “normal” and that also exposed the isolation many feel in our current culture.

This book presents any available written documentation, paraphernalia along with a selection of photographs from this performance series.

Also included are the other various performances by Moore during this period, including the POW!POW!POW! Festivals and four performances at the Center for Sex & Culture in San Francisco.

This volume closes with, “What A Life! A Frank Moore Biography”. It features a collection of writings by people who knew Frank that were requested by the editors for use in a possible biography.

Mitzi Humphrey, FF Alumn announces that Artspace Gallery, a non-profit art gallery in Richmond, VA dedicated to the understanding and awareness of contemporary visual and performing arts, is now in a different place, both in location and in what we offer the community. Now relocated from Plant Zero in the Manchester area of Richmond, Virginia to Hathaway Road in the Stratford Hills Shopping Center.

https://www.artspacegallery.org

We have created an additional gallery and teaching space, named the Elisabeth Flynn-Chapman Gallery after a long-time member and supporter. We provide exhibition space without cost to several partner nonprofits including Thomas Jefferson High School, Brightpoint Community College, Art for the Journey https://artforthejourney.org and the James River Association. https://thejamesriver.org. 

We have plans to expand our involvement with other nonprofits in 2023.

https://www.facebook.com/artspace.richmond/

In this new space we provide art classes and educational workshops. The demand for our teaching space is increasing and we look forward to expanding our programming in 2023. Our membership is growing. With 48 artist members, including three new Performing Artist Members, we offer musical events and host a regular poetry program. In addition to all this, we still host multiple individual art shows each month, inviting hundreds of proposals each year from artists far and wide.

https://www.artspacegallery.org/art-exhibitions

Artspace is unique, depending on our artist members, community members and volunteers to run the gallery and to do all the administrative work. We maintain an inviting gallery which is enjoyed and used by multiple groups on an ongoing basis.

https://www.artspacegallery.org/upcoming-events

Now showing through December 17, 2022  is “Watershed” 2022, Artspace Members’ Biennial exhibition.
