5. Cheri Gaulke, The Dark Bob, FF Alumns, at Armory Center, Pasadena, opens September 24
Dear Friends,
I will be exhibiting my new artists’ book, Marriage Matters, as well as Sears portraits from the book in the exhibition:
Whose Who’s California: Golden State X10
Armory Center for the Arts – Mezzanine Gallery
145 N. Raymond Ave.
Pasadena , CA 91103
Opening reception: Sept. 24, 7-9 p.m. (performance by the band Double Naught Spy Car)
Exhibition dates: Sept. 24 – Jan. 6, 2006
Regular gallery hours: Tuesday thru Sunday, noon – 5 p.m.
The exhibition was organized by NewTown.
Contact: Richard Amromin at (626)398-9278 or email at newtownart@charter.net
About Gaulke’s work:
Whose Love Counts? Whose Marriage Matters? Questions for California.
In a year of intensifying public debate about the freedom to marry, Cheri Gaulke (and partner Sue Maberry) invited 10 lesbian and gay couples to go to Sears and have their portraits taken. These were accompanied by personal stories and the story of Maberry and Gaulke’s own 26 year relationship in an artists’ book, Marriage Matters. This is Gaulke and Maberry’s third Sears portrait project, in which they invert this middle-American tradition to question what and who defines family.
About the exhibition:
Featured Artists:
Sandow Birk Cheri Gaulke Michael Guccione
Clement Hanami Dana Lovell Gilbert Lujan (Magu)
Ben Sakoguchi Suzanne Siegel The Dark Bob
LaMonte Westmoreland
Whose/Who’s California: Golden State x 10 is the finale of NewTown’s series exploring California artists’ views of their home state. Perhaps saying more about our state than we wish to know, Sandow Birk’s ironically idyllic paintings of California prisons and Ben Sakoguchi’s Manzanar series both commemorate, in their own way, the Golden State’s propensity for incarcerating its citizens. Cheri Gaulke’s installation explores marriage in our state, while Dana Lovell probes our seemingly endless penchant for residential transience. New installations and sculptural works addressing “Californianess’, in its numerous guises, are being prepared by Gilbert Lujan (Magu), Michael Guccione, LaMonte Westmoreland, Suzanne Siegel and Clement Hanami, artists all too rarely seen in Southern California, while The Dark Bob returns to the gallery scene with his “viewer” sculptures and watercolors.
The opening night party includes a special appearance by the legendary Double Naught Spy Car. “Double Naught Spy Car sprang into existence in the 20th century to provide the soundtrack for the approaching meltdown of civilization. In sweat-drenched shows harkening back to 50’s jazz clubs, the stinging Stratocaster of Marcus Watkins, the Telecaster and spooky steel of Paul Lacques, the nihilist/classicist bass of Marc Doten, and the all-knowing unyielding drums of Joe Berardi beguile, bewilder, bait, and beatify their audience–no pesky vocals or lyrics to water down the twang and throb.”

Thank you.

Any of you New Yorkers jettin out this way, stop in & say Hello .. cheers ! x john fleck, ff alumn
Dear Evidence Room Friends:
David Greenspan’s
She Stoops to Comedy
VILLAGE VOICE: “80 minutes of near total delight.” THE STORY: Alexandra Page, renowned tragedienne and doyenne of the avant-garde, has lost her actress girlfriend to summer stock. Unswayed and indomitable, Alexandra disguises herself as a man and schemes to woo her back in the role of Orlando opposite her lover’s Rosalind in As You Like It. But all the world becomes a stage in David Greenspan’s Obie-Award-winning rollicking romp. Time, space, gender, and identity buckle and spin out as the play transforms from backstage comedy to postmodern deconstruction to a heartfelt meditation on the nature of illusion.
Starring:
John Fleck as ALEXANDRA PAGE

8. Nicolás Dumit Estévez, FF Alumn, in Kitchener, Ontario, Seot, 23 thru October 2
12,000 Expected to Attend CAFKA.05 – X Industria:
An International Exhibition of Art Projects Taking Place at Kitchener City
Hall
Kitchener (Ontario) CANADA September 1, 2005: CAFKA.05 – The 5th annual international thematic exhibition of cutting-edge contemporary art will once again take place in and around Kitchener City Hall from September 23 to October 2. The Forum, consisting of 22 projects by 29 regional, national and international visual and media artists, will be accompanied by 2 video programmes, a performance by MT Space, artists’ talks, round-tables, and daily tours. An opening gala will take place at 7:00 pm on Friday, September 23, and all events are completely free to the public.
This year’s theme – X INDUSTRIA: 100 years ago, in October 1905, the first “Made in Berlin” trade fair was launched. The City of Kitchener, formerly Berlin, was known for its visionary entrepreneurs and its skilled labour, humming with activity in the trades and crafts and following the promise of industrial wealth. “Ex industria prosperitas” is the motto of the City of Kitchener, “with industry comes prosperity”.
Visual and media artists proposed works that considered the industrial past, obsolete and new technologies and the relationship of labour to prosperity, or the lack thereof, in local and global contexts. Artists also addressed economic issues, the shifting roles of governments and corporations; the increasing gap between the first and third world; moral issues of ownership of natural resources (in the traditional sense or the more modern sense, such as human DNA); biotechnology and commerce; cultural identity vs. mass production; and research areas such as nanotechnology or quantum computing.
22 projects by artists from Canada, the United States, Cuba, Germany, Great Britain, and Japan were selected based on high artistic quality, presence, site specificity, and relevance to the theme:
Michael Jacob Ambedian (Kitchener), anti-cool (Yokosuka, Japan), Thomas Bégin (Montréal), Philippe Blanchard (Toronto), Doug Buis (Long Beach, CA), Jillian Catton, Jahan Kargar and Stefan Smeja (Kitchener), Nicolás Dumit Estévez (Bronx, NY), Adonis Flores Betancourt (Sancti Spiritus, Cuba), Laurent Gagnon (Québec), Seema Goel (Regina), Insoon Ha (St. Catherines), Ivan Jurakic (Hamilton), In-Sun Kim (Kitchener), Doris Kuwert (Berlin, Germany), Mark Laliberte (Guelph), Paul Matosic (Nottingham, UK), Rick Nixon and Matt Millard (Waterloo), Marianela Orozco Rodriguez (Sancti Spiritus, Cuba), Tony Paginton and Roswita Busskamp (Toronto), Will Pappenheimer (Brooklyn, NY), Michael Waterman (Guelph), and Dane Watkins (Somerset, UK). The Video Programme includes work by Joe Hiscott (Montréal), Jacqueline Goss ( Boston, US), Pretty Big Dig, the award-winning short by Anne Troake ( St. John’s), and many more.
CAFKA – Contemporary Art Forum Kitchener and Area is an annual international
exhibition/symposium whose mandate is “to take works of contemporary art out
of galleries, studios and artist run centres and bring them into the civic
space,” and “to engage a public that does not otherwise frequent art
galleries or artist run centres.” Centred in and around Kitchener City Hall,
this 10-day event invites and encourages people of all ages and backgrounds
to encounter, react to, and engage with contemporary art and with the
artists who create it. In addition to presenting cutting-edge works and
screening videos by regional, national and international artists, CAFKA
presents artists’ talks, round tables, and daily tours. Most of the artists
remain present for the duration of the event to engage with viewers, making
contemporary artistic practice more accessible to a greater public. There
currently exists no other event of this kind in Canada and our relationship
with the City of Kitchener is unique in North America. Last year, the Forum
received over 9,000 visitors and we expect this year’s Forum to exceed
12,000.
The exhibition will take place in and around Kitchener City Hall ( Ontario),
located at 200 King Street West in Kitchener, Ontario and is open daily from
September 23 through October 2, 2005, from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm.
The media is invited to attend a special preview on Friday, September 23 at
6:00 pm.
To schedule interviews with participating artists or CAFKA’s Artistic
Director, Christian Bernard Singer, or for more information, please call Iga

Hey Everyone!
Finally! The Bentfootes!
The show you’ve heard so much about!
The history of America’s most resilient dance family!
…Is coming to…
Dixon Place at University Settlement:
184 Eldridge Street
(F train to 2nd Avenue)
Thursdays– Saturdays, Sept. 29 – Oct. 8, 8PM
$10-$15 sliding scale at door; $12 advance at theatermania.com,
TDF Thursdays only
Reservations: 212.219.0736 x110
What a story!
The Bentfootes tells the irreverent yet touching story of downtown choreographer Susan Bentfoote and her extraordinary family, who for 200 years have used dance as a creative force in their lives.
This imaginative history weaves live “recreations” of obscure Bentfoote family dances, with original music and images from family memorabilia, into a memorial/documentary performance exploring the social, political, and artistic aesthetic of our country from post-revolutionary times to the present. In projected video sequences, additional performers play the roles of historians, Bentfoote family members, and friends, who keep the Bentfoote flame of dance burning bright in this humorous and poignant tribute to the lives of unsung American artists.
Layered together, dance and video give historical context to the work, tell Susan’s story of artistic discovery, and bring the dances of the past to life. Styles include Colonial singing games with Epicurean themes, square dancing depicting Civil War battles, romantic ballet from the Vaudeville circuit, modern dance interpretations of Isadora Duncan and Helen Tamiris, excerpts from a 1960’s post-modern Broadway musical, and Susan Bentfoote’s own iconoclastic approach to choreography.
Just look at that all-star cast…

14. Tobaron Waxman, FF Alumn, at Le Petit Versailles, NY, September 24, 7 pm onwards
“GenderFluXXXors UnCoded: an FTM Supornova” is a performance lecture by artist Tobaron Waxman (CA) and PhD candidate Eliza Steinbock (USA). This presentation will cover many moments in film/video which had previously been read as ‘Lesbian’, and later read as ‘Drag King’ which could be included in the development of an FTM gaze. The purpose in revisiting these old coup d’oeil, while including works made by FTM/GQ male contemporary artists, is to remind an FTM audience of their image history while simultaneously acquainting them with a cultural diversity that is a contemporary FTM reality. The works by contemporary FTM/GQ artists include a variety of ethnicities, body sizes, and cultural expressions, the unifying element being their sexplicit transmasculine content.
On September 24, 2005 in addition to the performance of the screening and critical commentary, the collaborators will be dialoguing with each other and their audience from different countries and time zones. Tobaron will be in NYC’s Le Petite Versailles Garden (346 East Houston, NYC) from 7pmEST onwards while Eliza will be at the School for International Training’s Office in Amsterdam starting at 1amGMT. Using the AV possibilities of online chat to transverse geographic boundaries and evade linear time, the performance will open up a community network to the people who experience the “lecture”. We will be passing the hat to fundraise for a trans family in crisis, otherwise the event is free.
Tobaron Waxman is the recipient of a Franklin Furnace Performance Art Award (2003), and Canadian Arts Council grants (2003, 2005). His videos “True Spirit”, “how long has it been” and “Reverence” have screened internationally. Eliza Steinbock’s PhD dissertation at The Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis explores the impact of trans erotics on film philosophy. She is the director of “Pull In” (2003), a portrait of a trans sexual relationship.
Shannon Bell taught in the name of Annie Sprinkle to dedicate ones orgasm. In the spirit of that teaching, GenderfluXXXors Uncoded is dedicated to the memory of the late Chance Ryder, the first “male hermaphrodite pornstar” —a person who was ahead of his time.
We wish to thank Ginni Fleck and Kevin Connors of the School for International Training in Amsterdam and Peter and Jack of Le Petite Versailles Garden in New York for their support and assistance.

15. City of Women, 11 th International Festival, Ljubljana, Slovenia, October 7-14
CITY OF WOMEN
11th International Festival of Contemporary Arts
7th ¯ 14th October 2005, Ljubljana, Slovenia
The City of Women Festival 2005 will focus on the concept of in/security as one of the key issues in contemporary debate. Today, security of any kind is a mere illusion; while new measures of exclusion, control and violence have all been imposed in the name of ‘security’ in order that they may be perceived as acceptable. Often, the woman’s body is a crucial locus where discourses on national identity, multicultural society and acceptable family norms are played out, sometimes in the name of equality and emancipation, and other times in the name of difference. The obsession with security and fear, surveillance and control, has also become a common issue in many spheres of cultural and artistic endeavour.
The Festival will present around 40 women artists, theoreticians and activists from UK, USA, Belgium, France, South Korea, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Austria, Spain, South Africa, Iran, Bosnia- Herzegovina, Croatia and Slovenia, who focus on various physical, psychological, environmental, ideological, economic and political issues that pertain to in/security. The City of Women anticipates a fruitful interdisciplinary exchange.
In attachment you can find this year’s festival programme. More information is to be found online www.cityofwomen.org . For photos of participants look on www.cityofwomen.org/press/galerija
During the festival also look for CoWeb – the online project will offer a critical debate for which we have invited young writers, theoreticians and artists from Slovenia and abroad to enter virtual polylogue.
