DON'T FORGET!!! TOMORROW - TUES FEB 2!!! "Zesty Panjectivist Lifeboat" ! - Freakout for Haiti
On the evening of Tuesday, February 2, 2010 at 9pm a Multi-Media Event will take place at GalleryBar, located at 120 Orchard Street in Manhattan, featuring established and emerging visual artists, musicians, poets, dancers, designers and performers who will present their work in an open forum. A suggested donation of $5 will be collected to aid victims of the recent earthquake in Haiti, through Doctors Without Borders.
The Zesty Panjectivist Lifeboat is a counter-culture rescue team of divine proportions. Afloat on a sea of mediocrity and indifference, catatonic television drones are forcefully plucked from their potato buckets to be granted one last glimmer of dope. That's right - its a dope party, kids. Dope dope dope dope dope! Dopamine! That lovely substance that so willfully oozes within your lobes at the slightest whiff of pleasure. The Panjectivists are not interested in an artificial high but the tried and true original caveman drug that you are holding at all times. The Zesty Panjectivist Lifeboat is here to raise your crusty hypothalamus to loftier heights, the one and only way it knows how... ART.
The ZPL harbors great concern for your stream-of-nonsenseness and intends to navigate your vessel with live music, live art, painted bodies, whips & chains, herbal tea, bespoke cocktails, poetry, film, installations, sculpture, paintings, banter, discussions, filth, costumes-props-wigs, fire-breathing/glass-walking/brain-hammering freaks, demented circus acts, frenzied fashion shows, shock, abhoration, queens, naked children and much much less. Prepare to be delivered. Art will save you.
Panjectivism began as an art salon formed in late 2001 by New York artists, Lincoln Capla, Kimberly Hauer and Antony Zito. From these early meetings held on the Lower East Side, a non-exclusive art movement was conceived - an anti-ism ism - with one objective: art without apology. The only requirement of a Panjectivist artwork is its inherent ability to stand alone on its aesthetic merit without explanation or reliance upon context. From a Panjectivist perspective, no one should "need to know how to view" a work of art. Art - in all its forms, mediums and disciplines - is a language of its own. The written word is one of these forms but not the ultimate expression through which all others are defined.
"I don't see why artists should say anything because the work is supposed to speak for itself. So whatever the artist says about it is like an apology. It is not necessary." - Louise Bourgeois
"Our mission is to resurrect the children of the digital age - lost in an ocean of hype - to breathe life back into their idle hands with real human experience!", say Kimberly Hauer and Antony Zito. "With so much of the day's interaction exerted through the robotic voice of technology, the appreciation of things tangible has fallen 'overbored'. The fact that art and expression are essential to our existence has been moronically marooned on an island of desensitized consumerism."
This is an invitation to all to participate as an interactive audience, where instant feedback will bring you instant karma. Live artists, musicians and performers interested in collaborating can contact the Lifeboat Hot-line at zestylifeboat@gmail.com.
