Circus!
posted:
Considering the circus-like atmosphere of our current econo-political climate, here’s a fitting little event that I’m involved in. Many of you might know that I’ve been a vegetarian for 33 years [like Kerri says, it’s like not driving a car!] so the compassionate nature of this anti cruelty art event was very much to my liking. I missed the opening but it looks like it was pretty cool, not to mention, large. The artist roster includes the eminent Richard Downs, David Brinley, Kim Scott, and J.S. Berger among others. Thanks to Gale Hart of A Bitchin Space for a cool opportunity! Here a few pix, more can be found @ A Bitchin Space.
The 2nd Annual Circus Show & Other Atrocities juxtaposes the dark, painful lives of performing animals with the fun, amusing atmosphere of the carnival. The show has over 100 national and international artists. The performance line-up starts with Dan Piraro, creator of Bizarro, who will be joined by comedian and MC, Keith Lowell Jensen, singer Larisa Bryski, plus jugglers, belly dancers, firebenders and other performers, freaks, artist-made midway games and rides, as well as raffle prizes including original artwork and more with proceeds donated to animal protection groups.
On display in the gallery through Closing Reception October 11th.
