*Dress appropriately (see below)
Hegemonies of the new elite, Bobos, creative class, bourgeois, working class, middle class—all these terms fly in America with the velocity of rotten tomatoes. At the Experience Economies event, the social currency, creative capital, economic status, upward mobility and toxic assets of participants will be analyzed and instigate a class confrontation. Food will be the ammunition of this class war—dress appropriately, or do your best to dodge the rage!

About Experience Economies:
Experience Economies is a nomadic social event series where cultural producers are audiences to each other’s spectacles. Not a lecture and not a party, the events incorporate performance, presentation, discussion, scheming, drinks and food. Experience Economies welcomes experimentation, works-in-progress, audiences that want their spectacles to mess with them and presenters who need a space to make that mess. Experience Economies is produced by Gavin Kroeber and Rebecca Uchill, with rotating guest presenters.
Heal Dara G Online Art Auction: November 29 – December 5 only!
Heal Dara G Online Art Auction
Includes work from an impressive roster of artists! Bid on contributions from me: a DVD of ‘The Marshmallow Suicide’ and a film still print on photo rag.
The Heal Dara G online art auction is live! All proceeds go to artist/activist Dara Greenwald, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. Nearly 200 artists have donated their work to raise money for her and her partner Josh MacPhee to support them during their healing process. The goal is to raise enough funds to help them live worry-free for 2011, and to support medical expenses not covered by insurance.
The auction comes just in time for the holidays and includes a range of items— including books, dvd’s, prints, photographs, paintings, works on paper, sculptures, music/audio cds’, and other miscellaneous goods! Work by both established and emerging artists/writers/musicians is represented.
Please take the time to check out!
