OX-OP ARTS PRESENTS:

Non Consensual Post Dada Constructivist Cerebral Warts
Art/Music/Film Festival 2009

OCTOBER 22nd- 25th • SOO Visual Arts Center

On October 22nd through 25th, SOOVAC Gallery will host a conceptual tour de force seldom seen outside the two coasts.

The large main Gallery will feature a major retrospective of two hometown Minneapolis heroes of the international flatstock design and printing world: Burlesque of North America and Aesthetic Apparatus.

The side gallery will present a bizarre opening of local artist and alternative music mogul, HAZE XXL. A multi-media onslaught, the exhibition consists of 100 individually hand-made art CD sleeves, each containing original art and individual Polaroids, along with HAZE XXL created objects d’art featured in numerous national shows including the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. The show marks the first and only release of the Halo Of Flies/Gay Witch Abortion collaboration album. Just 100 CD's produced, and that’s it forevermore but not surprising coming from the former head of Amphetamine Reptile Records who initiated his label by originating the whole “limited edition thing in music” back in the 1980's.

Each night of the four-day event, performance art takes on a literal meaning with live music sequestered in yet another gallery within the gallery. The musicians will be performing behind large screened windows facing the main gallery, harshly backlit so that the audience sees only silhouetted shadows and movement. Four security cameras inside the room will broadcast those performances live onto screens in the main gallery, playing with perceptions of time and space and lessening even further our distinctions between reality and the alternate broadcast reality which is far to often blurred.

The Opening Event will also offer an additional layer of altered perception, featuring the short films of renowned artist Chris Mars. Primarily known for his deeply surreal oil and pastel images, he has taken to animation
and film with all the intensity and incredible detail of his oil paintings.

i'm in the backing band which is me, greg from kentucky gag order/sicbay, and bill mike from the bill mike band/haley bonar/million other bands (who if you have not seen this man play guitar you really should)...also we might have anna r0d3ll on violin for the show, she plays in bruteheart and to kill a petty bourgoeise sometimes...

did read, did not go..but anyway was interesting and made me want to check out aquarelle! good stuff

cedar cultural center website sez TEH GOAT.SE is:

SOLD OUT

: (

i haven't really heard FOTL, but i <3 McLusky and that is enough for me

xp aww

yeah i can't go have a family event but trust that the turf show, despite his flu was fucking AMAZING

FOTL is a lot like McLusky...maybe a little less touch & go and a little more wire...but if you like one you'll probably dig the other

i will go out on a limb here and say i think i like FOTL more than mclusky. maybe. sometimes.

so i guess i should listen to this XX band all yall kids are talking about then.

i bet the mtnrnge g-oatzen show would've been nice :(

xp yeah i just want some people to scream and make noise for a little bit and be in the same room, is the thing

well fiddle dee dee

maybe we can lobby the man for a 'fuck washing a hat' guest list spot or four

jj XX maymay notnot bebe yryr thingthing??

i dunno i guess i assume that since it is not v v shreddy that maybe it is not yr deal

oh for the gluttons for punishment crew:

November 22 - Station 4
ATTACK! ATTACK!,I Set My Friends Of Fire+ More
All Ages
5 :00 PM

xpost i am weird tho

unfortunately BROKENCYDE played there this last sunday so we missed out on that trainwreck

thank god i have a final the day after that show because dang

because i feel like i'd have to see that show just to tell ppl about it in the way that some ppl have to be stringers in war zones---the ppl have to know!

PPL

ok FOTL tickets obtained (on presale at the fetus btw)
also going to mtn grouts, anyone else thats going to be at the show should give me a holler. do they serve beerz at the cedar cultural center?

PALMER'S

i'll be at FOTL, but not at sheep of the flatlands :(

DUDES

Time to suck it up and say, "ah fuck it I'll actually go to the goddamn 400 bar for this"

Buy

Nov 8, 2009 at 9:00 PM CST (8:00 PM DOORS)
The Black Heart Procession / Bellini at 400 Bar - Minneapolis, MN $12.00

there is an unclaimed ticket for FOTL for anyone that is not yet in possession of one

i am going to be a bad man and say that i saw black heart procession @ triple rock and they were sadly boring. would like to make drinking plans with folks that go to that show however, while i enjoy the dulcet tones of teh groats (i am prepared to hate the fuck out of final fantasy TBH, so i might want drinks whenever they are on as well).

oh boy oh boy

gbx you didnt see these guys the last time they were here did you?

sooooooo great.

also if peeps want to meet up for a beer downtown before the show, let me know

my momz came 2 stay with us last minute so i have to miss this!@!

anyway anyone who hasn't seen these dudes should make a point of it.

jjusten i just sent u an email!

uhh ok so ticketweb.com is saying "none available" for the XX at triple rock -- triple rock website is NOT saying it's sold out.

stub hub has them going for ~ $50

i've got mine but was going to acquire another one for a friend and slept on it until now. what does this all mean? is it doors-only now, or do y'all think there are some left at record stores? the fetus? treehouse?

hmm...i don't know if they sell triple rock tickets at record stores

i think they usually leave some tickets for the door, but not positive....

i'd just call the triple rock

if they do sell through all the local stores like first ave does, i would go to roadrunner, they tend to sell out way later than treehouse or fetus

ah good pt
