CHILLED, OILY, NICELY CORRUPT HEARTS FEB 10TH AT WILDLIFE.

CHILLED, OILY, NICELY CORRUPT HEARTS FEB 10TH AT WILDLIFE.

C.O.N.C.H’s acronym becomes Chilled Oily Nicely Corrupt Hearts for an inter-disciplinary examination of Valentine’s Day’s visceral horizon bearing down on all artistic creation.

Equal parts raw harmony and kitsch, the blasphemy of Valentines is, for one night only, wedded to a more vibrant, primal metaphor. For our first show, C.O.N.C.H. presents an all-encompassing wedding for your hungry and/or jaded souls. The bloody psychological implications, the anatomy and symbolism of a heart nicely oiled by cultural expectation, experiential drama, and the dark genealogy of the holiday and its patron saint, all fuse into a show of scars, sounds, and sex on a silver platter Man to man, man to woman, woman to cantaloupe, pigs heart to chair, Klaus Nomi to Angelica Houston. Arrive at the quintessential Bushwick loft prepared to be wed to a person, object, or idea of your choosing. Feel free to dress in any aesthetic of wedding you desire: traditional, zombie, ABBA, church of Satan, Staten Island, the whole shebang. Best dressed = free bottle of champagne.

C.O.N.C.H. is a curatorial collective newly formed by Cat Gilbert of The 22 Magazine, Esther Neff of Panoply Performance Laboratory (PPL), and Valerie Kuehne of The Super Coda. We investigate the various distinctions–and lack thereof–defining our respective mediums of curatorial focus: visual art/installation, performance art/experimental theatre, and creative/experimental music.www.concharts.wordpress.com

Hello folks,

It’s true. Art organizations, artists, we all, are struggling.

What we do, what we are, is probably the hardest decision many of us will make. It is a sacrifice to be an artist. It is hard to follow a dream with little hope of success, but there are people who know how you feel. Rich or poor, young or old, we come together with a purpose. A passion. A fire in our bellies to blanket the world with beauty.

This motivation, this desire to create, deconstruct, rebuild, is in us all. It is the artists who remind us we are not alone, that in fact we are incredibly in this world, and of it.

With these thoughts in mind I ask you to support an organization that understands these needs most keenly. A project that is run by folks who battle their own demons and desires, and who wake up every morning, eager to be a platform on which artists may stand.

It is a great honor to support those we find beauty in. It is a truly great thing to introduce artists to the world, to know their incredible stories. To not judge. To help carve a place and to know that art is not a contest but a privilege, a war, a memory, a need.

Lend your ears. Lend your voice. Help us always to make sure your words are heard.
