Zesty Panjectivist Lifeboat #2 - NEXT THURS 4/8 AMAZING BANDS! Atomic Bitchwax & Bill Murray Exp!

On the evening of Thursday, April 8, 2010 beginning at  8pm a multi-media event will take place at GalleryBar, 120 Orchard Street in Manhattan, featuring established and emerging visual artists, musicians, dancers, designers and performers who will present their work in an open forum.

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 dopamine.  Dopamine: that lovely bio-inherited substance that so willfully oozes within your wrinkled lobes – sparked to life at the slightest whiff of pleasure.  The Panjectivists are not interested in a costly artificial high but the tried and true FREE 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.   (and maybe a few drinks)

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. 

The Lifeboat has selected 4 of the area’s most brilliant and amazing bands in a vast range of styles to scale the peak of your interest.  THE ONE AND ONLY “Atomic Bitchwax” along with “That Handsome Devil”, “The Other Men” and “The Bill Murray Experience” will all perform full live sets interspersed and overlapped with performers and madmen & madwomen of all varieties – such as the fabulous, fire-breathing “Reina Terror” and gaggles of gorgeous giggling go-go girls!  Magic Mike Piccinino shakes up Bespoke Cocktails behind the bar – just try and stump him!  Mistress Alexandra of the Cross will spank you and degrade you – and you will LOVE IT!  The legendary Chickenman will astound you will his stunning physic and other-worldly costumery while speaking in tongues and volumes of velveteen vixens will villainize your venomous vortex!

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 Lifeboat creators, Kimberly Hauer and Antony Zito.  "With so much of the day's interaction exerted through the indifferent robotone 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.
