Weekend East City Event Round Up: Visual White Noise Edition

Studio H

6:00pm - 9:00pm


Studio H opens Amalgamations, new work by Steven Pearson. Pearson paints large scale work and has created a 9’ x 9’ installation piece for the gallery. Inspired by the deluge of quotidian information we are subjected to via social media, television, radio and email, Amalgamations translates this cacophony into vibrant colors and shapes that clash with one another eventually resulting in what Pearson calls “visual white noise”. For additional details, click here.

Documentary Film Screening of Sick: The Life And Death Of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist
Sunday, October 23rd
8:00pm
$6, $4 students, seniors, military

Hmm... Sounds interesting. Includes Q&A with Sheree Rose

"A 1997 documentary about Bob Flanagan, the Los Angeles writer, poet, performance artist, and comic, and his long-term dominatrix/partner, Sheree Rose. Flanagan suffered from the genetic lung disease, Cystic Fibrosis, throughout his short life, he died in 1996 at the age of 43. This poignant, disturbing, yet also very funny documentary examines his personal odyssey to gain a measure of control over his body by inflicting pain on himself. " Note: "While some scenes are not for the faint of heart or the squeamish, its ultimately an uplifting, life-affirming, love story, despite being tragic."
