Why:
From May to August, Church of the Friendly Ghost presents a series featuring female artists who push the boundaries of art and music. Too rarely are experimental art and new music events in Austin female-centric. In order to at least temporarily reject this truth, (and at best, spark a renaissance) the series stems from the desire to experience several evenings of performance from female artists.
The primary goal is to provide these artists with a space to expand their art form while providing the audience an panoptic impression of the work that women are producing in Austin and points beyond. Lady Friends will focus on media art, performance art, and music that is thought provoking and original. This series will include experimental bands, filmmakers, solo performers, and improvisers.
Additionally, CotFG aims to contrive a new point of ingression for the female arts community that coincides with a focused forum for discourse and networking. The series will culminate in August with our final show as an evening of improvisational works by an all female cast. Alissa DeRubeis and Amanda Lewis are the principal curators.
two productions are going to be held this month at the salvage vangaurd theatre in thematic sisterhood. with a completely immersive multi media play, directed by Jenny Larson; and the other, an exhibit, by Austin creativity avatars, The Totallywreck Production Institute.
Larson presents, Caridad Svich’s “Iphigenia Crash Land Falls On The Neon Shell That Was Once Her Heart (A Rave Fable)”. Which hurls one of Greek tragedy’s most compelling sagas into a sleek netherworld of sex, drugs and trance music. Iphigenia is the daughter of a political celebrity who embraces sensuous excess with a transgendered glam rock star named Achilles in a desperate attempt to flee her inevitable fate.
TWPI continues to collaborate on cracking the cosmic egg with their new exhibition, The Everlasting Godstopper. The work focuses on the underlying framework of technological implication, pop culture mutation, iconic figures of unnatural symbolism, and gregarious personality.
Iphigenia debutes this friday the 13th at SVT and runs through march 7th. for dates and tickets, visit the SVT website.
Opening reception for The Everlasting Godstopper will be in the SV gallery on the Sunday the 15th from 6 – 9pm
