Weekly Spotlight: Toni Dove, FF Alumn, now online at https://vimeo.com/589096598
On March 12, 1993, Toni Dove performed The Blessed Abyss–A Tale of Unmanageable Ecstasies as part of the Franklin Furnace In Exile performance art series at The New School. Dove’s multi-media perfomance addresses the transgressive powers of desire using computer-programmed slide projectors, video and film projections, and eight tracks of pre-recorded sounds mixed for the live performance. This 27-minute documentary of The Blessed Abyss features changing narrators, video clips of a Trojan-era style battle, nuns on the run, skeletons caressing feminine forms, and much more to create an ethereal space in which viewers can explore and contemplate the tangled, primordial nature of public and private eroticism.

Subliminal Horizons: Part 2
Exhibition Dates
Germantown: August 20 – October 3, 2021
Alexander Gray Associates, Germantown presents Subliminal Horizons: Part 2, the second iteration of an exhibition curated by Alvin Hall. Subliminal Horizons: Part 2 continues as an open-ended survey of Black, indigenous, brown, and Asian artists living and working in the Hudson Valley in New York.
BIPOC creators and their predecessors have always been present in the Hudson Valley. They numbered among its original inhabitants and labored in its agrarian and industrial economies. They have been a force in the countercultural and creative communities that have historically been drawn to the area and are now driving its ongoing transformation into an arts-driven economy. Nonetheless, their work has largely been left out of a cultural narrative that historically gives primacy to the nearly all-white, all-male Hudson River School. Bringing together painting, sculptures, and drawings by an intergenerational group of BIPOC artists living and working in Hudson Valley, Subliminal Horizons: Part 2 invites a fluid, open-ended consideration of the area’s cultural life oriented towards an expanded field and a more complete context.
Rather than presenting a purely critical thesis, the exhibition offers a point of departure for this expanded field. The artists and the works on view are connected by loosely recurring art historical themes such as the contrast between the sublime, realist landscapes of the Hudson River School and the figuration, interiority, textuality, or abstraction of much contemporary work; and by the possibilities for community and collectivity embedded in their shared geography. “I’ve looked at the Hudson River and the surrounding landscape so many times during train rides. The metaphor of the estuary—a body of water that flows in multiple directions—resonates in the works,” says Alvin Hall. “One can locate the covering and uncovering of personal and social histories; a blurring of distinction between the representational and the abstract; the conflicts of the documented and imaginary; and a tension among traditions, modernism, and contemporary art’s growing pluralism in the diverse works in the exhibition.”
A necessarily incomplete intervention, Subliminal Horizons: Part 2 is an exercise in building community, shifting narratives, and reframing dialogue. Generous rather than exclusive, responsive rather than prescriptive, the exhibition aims to strengthen and extend community ties by uncovering existing histories, affinities, and artistic connections. Collectively, the artists and their works speak to the many ways the Hudson Valley is today an important magnet for artistic expression, intellectual pursuit, and emotional expansion.

The Art Gallery of York University, Toronto presents:
Jess Dobkin’s Wetrospective
Curated by Emelie Chhangur
September 2 – September 26, 2021
The AGYU is thrilled to re-open its doors with the first-ever retrospective exhibition of Toronto’s performance art matriarch Jess Dobkin, curated by Emelie Chhangur.
Internationally acclaimed artist Jess Dobkin, who splashed Toronto with projects including The Lactation Station Breast Milk Bar (2006–2016), The Artist-Run Newsstand at Chester Subway Station (2015–2016), and The Artists’ Soup Kitchen (2012), welcomes the public to the re-opening of the AGYU. With her Wetrospective, Dobkin invites us into 25 years of her playful and provocative practice with animated “litrine vitrines” (portable toilets) and a custom-designed augmented reality app. The exhibition is curated by award-winning, nationally celebrated curatorEmelie Chhangur, Director and Curator of the Agnes Etherington Art Centre in Kingston, Ontario.
Chhangur writes, “Dobkin upcycles her own archive of past performances in ways that constitute her concept of ‘bendy-time.’ This exhibition demands of archives what we expect from performance: the live encounter of experience in a ritual of transformation.”
The Collective Effervescence Opening Party will feature an outdoor celebration with DJ Cozmic Cat, Nik Red, Sasha Van Bon Bon, and John Caffery spinning archives of Toronto’s favorite parties plus Jewish Performance Food Truck with Guillermina Buzio and Bar Bacan.
A signed and numbered artist multiple will be given to the first 200 visitors to the gallery.
GALLERY HOURS: For Jess Dobkin’s Wetrospective the AGYU will be open 7 days a week from 12-5pm. Extended hours until 7pm on Wednesdays.
Jess Dobkin’s Wetrospective includes a constellation of talks, tours and engagements featuring seminal cultural critic Ann Cvetkovich; artist and scholar Jehan L. Roberson; artist and archivist Joyce LeeAnn; and performance scholar Laura Levin.

In recognition of our place on the traditional territory of numerous Indigenous Nations, the Art Gallery of York University thanks the Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Anishinaabek who have and continue to care for this land. This land is the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Covenant and Wampum between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Three Fires Confederacy (the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi), and other allied nations in an agreement to share land and its resources. We occupy land referred to in Crown Treaty 13, known as the Toronto Purchase, signed in 1805. Terms of this Treaty were not met by Canada until 2010, when the Federal Government settled the claims of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
AGYU promotes 2SLGBTQIAP+ positive spaces & experiences and works towards being barrier free.
The AGYU is committed to anti-racism. We work to eradicate institutional biases and develop accountable programs that support Black, Indigenous and People of Colour.

Opening: Saturday, September 24, 2-6pm
A cornerstone of the Williamsburg Brooklyn gallery scene, Figureworks opened its doors on April 16, 2000. In these 20 years the gallery has presented the work of hundreds of uniquely talented figure-based artists. To celebrate this anniversary, 20 artists who have continually exhibited with the gallery were selected for Figureworks 20/20, an exhibition that will run from September 18 – October 30, 2021. Including past and present work, these artists exemplify the diverse potential in realizing Figureworks’ continued mission to represent fine art of the human form.

12. Annie Sprinkle & Beth Stephens, FF Alumns, August news
Earth, Water, Fire and Updates— Dear Franklin Furnace Friends & Colleagues,
Last summer, in our neck of the woods in Northern California, the CZU wall of fire came within a block from our house. We were evacuated and are now bracing for lots more fires any moment.. To see so many people displaced, living things die terrible deaths, to loose it all… knowing climate change is largely caused by humans is tragic. One of our responses was to start a new film, Playing with Fire, where we will link the social fires happening, such as how our prison fire fighters get paid next to nothing ($5 a day) but are then too sick with COVID 19 to fight the fires, since their “guards” won’t be vaccinated. We’ll examine fires from an ecosexual, environmental/social justice perspective. We are grateful that we were recently awarded a Guggenheim grant to help produce the film. Miracles happen!
Speaking of films, our film which is an homage to water, Water Makes Us Wet—An Ecosexual Adventure is streaming for free until August 31. Go to our new website sprinklestephens.org and the link is on the homepage. Please do watch it, if you love water, and want to stop corporations like Nestle who steal water from us all!
Last week our new book, Assuming the Ecosexual Position—Earth as Lover came out. We had worked on the book for over six years, and finishing it was our COVID 19 quarantine silver lining. The book is a love story about two artists in love, who make work about love, and the love grows to cosmic proportions! We have an entire juicy chapter about our experiences in Kassel and Athens, called A Whore and a Hillbilly Make a Splash at documenta 14. The book is available from University of Minnesota Press here: https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/assuming-the-ecosexual-position. Our wonderful publisher produced the most beautiful book we could have dreamed of. Our dear friend, author and documenta curator, Paul B. Preciado wrote a sumptuous afterward, ecofeminist Una Chaudhuri did the introduction, and our beloved performance art saint, Linda M. Montano wrote a blessing. Esteemed feminist techno-scientist, Donna Haraway gave us a great blurb/review. We are so proud of this work. Please get a copy! We can mail you a free artistic book plate, signed by us, and a few ecosexy stickers if you email us that you have the book. (anniesprinkle@me.com, or Bethstephens@me.com)
Happy to report a LONG piece about our work just came out on CNN’s homepage. It offers some positive news mixed in with all the day’s awful news. We hope it does some good somehow, someway, somewhere. https://www.cnn.com/style/article/ecosexual-annie-sprinkle-beth-stephens-new-book/index.html Check it out.
We wish you all well during this crazy, scary, potent time. We’ll aim to be practicing “strategies of joy” (concept by artist Roberto Jacoby) until we meet again. If ever we can be of support let us know.
Love, love, and more love,
Annie M. Sprinkle & Beth M. Stephens

Peculiar Works Project (New York, USA)
Language Games
by Barbara Yoshida, directed by Ralph Lewis
Language Games is a smart and peculiar theatrical film, inspired by Ionesco and Beckett, and driven by current social mores and the fight for equality.
Set in an absurd world of philosophy and language, Sheela joins three great thinkers from the past for a spirited game of mahjong. As they play, her energy conjures Joseph Beuys as a mythological hare. Invisible to the players, he interjects cultural incantations while the players contemplate how language evolved from naming animals to representing them with signs and how myths serve the human need to imagine. Physical chair-play creates an escalating rhythm as tensions build and the hare inspires Sheela to use more confrontational words. As the chair-e-ography builds to a crescendo, Sheela rejects the men’s sexism, and wins the game.
Barbara Yoshida and Ralph Lewis have collaborated on many theatrical projects and have worked separately on other videos, so while they have incorporated video and projection in live projects, this is their first work to employ experimental theatre tools in the visual storytelling format of film.
The pandemic didn’t make it easy, but Language Games uses magical situations and unexpected actions to amplify a mature, feminist voice aiming to engage the next generation of socially conscious audiences on today’s screen-based platforms. Language Games was completed during the pandemic, and it is part of the Covid context in which it was created. This 20-minute short theatrical film including its “Making Of” Covid epilogue is perfect for on deamand viewing.
Peculiar Works Project was founded in 1993 by Ralph Lewis, Catherine Porter and Barry Rowell to create original performances that are accessible and engaging for diverse audiences. Using various artistic disciplines in unique combinations, this Obie Award-winning company challenges the conventions of alternative theatre. From initial concept to full production, the performance encourages collaboration, experimentation and a rebel spirit in creative artists by providing the tools and opportunities to realise their artistic goals.
