New BIGGER Venue: THE NWBLK, 1999 Bryant Street (at 18th), San Francisco - http://soex.org

A co-curatorial and hosting adventure with Peter Max Lawrence & Philip Huang for THE NEWS a monthly QUEER experimental performance showcase at SOMArts, Tuesday, June 4, 2013 7:30 - 9:00pm. The gallery will remain open from 9–10pm to give the audience an opportunity to view Zeitgeist, the visual arts centerpiece of the National Queer Arts Festival curated by the Queer Cultural Center.

As the year 2013 rolled in the seemingly tightly knit [queer] performance art community of the Bay Area was tearing at the seams. A turbulent community in conflict if you will; “experimental” dancers vs. "dancy dance" dancers, social commentators vs. drag queens, aesthetics vs. politics had generally run amok. What the people needed now was a comedic roast and yet they refused en masse and so the birth of new yearly festival was born and that festival was about embracing below the surface turmoil.

“This Is What I Hate” is the bad News, and Peter Max Lawrence and Philip Huang are its harbingers. Come celebrate the hatred of bad music, bad art, and general sucky things with Carletta Sue Kay, Phatima Rude, Kevin Seaman, Kolmel WithLove, Jaime Cortez, Daniel Redman, Phil Anderson, Tessa Fleming, Irrelevant Transmission and other haters. You might even hate yourself for coming.

THE RIVER WHISPERS
After performing in the Treefort Fest last year(2012) artist and filmmaker Peter Max Lawrence was privy to experience that which is Boise post music propaganda festivities and whilst meandering about the river way for the third time since his arrival to the lovely city; he sat quietly in front of the stunning cold spring river and over his ear-buds blasting a Rufus Wainwright song or two a voice repeatedly asked him to get into the river. Who, what and where did this voice come from? He knew this direction was a bad idea and might even be certain death; but on a crisp cool Tuesday morning he dipped his pale toes in to the mountain's tears and quickly jetted back to the log where is socks and shoes were delicately placed. It was here as he brushed the dirt off his feet that it occurred to him; not only had he enjoyed walking around in high heels carrying a cross as a combo Kurt Cobain/Courtney Love amalgam all weekend but wouldn't it be nice to bring the people, the audience and the artists to the river; and OH wouldn't it be even nicer to offer this astounding natural space and theater as a temporary stage for performance and art work. Yes wouldn't it be just lovely. So after a few discussions with the ever so lovely local Elizabeth McSurdy who by strange and awkward chance had invited him to the line-up of her self driven performance series for the same Treefort the baby was born and the baby wanted to, yes you guessed it whisper near the river. - Whitler H. Pratphall

Bad Booth and Beyond

JENALEE HARMON
LAURA HYUNJHEE KIM
PETER MAX LAWRENCE
MICHELLE L. MORBY

Four hygienic artists share germs of wisdom. Rare, rarified, and on an extremely high thread count, Jenalee Harmon, Laura Hyunjhee Kim, Peter Max Lawrence, and Michelle Morby lather art dreams until they sparkle into reality. Described by recluse critic Roberta Soltea as “excellent swimmers” and “decidedly not self-righteous” (*The San Franciscer*, 2010), these artists came here just to see you. From collective non-violent conversations using “I feel” statements to separate wearable soft object / animated gif speculations, Bad Booth and Beyond can’t wait to mix you, themselves and everyone (even the unknowable) into what could only be
called “g-d.”

The Swedish Dance History is dance’s collective effort to realize its history and ultimately to claim the right to its future. An effort to which every dance doer and maker independent of training, context, age, nationality etc. is invited to contribute on his or her own basis with texts, images, scores or drawings.

The fourth and final installment of film and video works selected from The Lab's call for participation will be on display from January 17 - 31, 2013. These pieces share a similar use of a lighthearted aesthetic to mask a deeper, often darker, concern. Participating artists include Alexis Courtney, Peter Max Lawrence, Linsey Wallace, Doug Garth Williams, and Gordon Winiekemko.

What happens when we trust disorder? When we trust a moment and just make?
The News, created by Kolmel WithLove and presented by SOMArts, spotlights queer experiments, debut works and works-in-progress by pre-selected solo artists, groups and troupes. Hosting guest curator Laura Arrington facilitates Breaking News, a one-night-only radical collaboration honoring the core values behind The News: to aid in the creation of new queer work and provide a place where Bay Area performance makers can take risks and identify new collaborators.
“As a participant in Keith Hennessy’s “Turbulence” I was afforded resources of space, time, bodies and relationships to do what thrilled me, to do what bored me, to do what turned me on and shut me down. I want to share a taste of that experience.” – Laura Arrington
