Arcuri/Rodriguez/Novi

@ New Capital

3114 W Carroll Ave, Chicago, IL 60612

Opening Thursday, April 21st, from 8PM - 12am

This event will feature two performances and two videos. Each consider the role of artifice in mediating cultural content, and subtly reframe similar themes in the exhibit Gill/Gill.

Marc Arcuri, (ironically labeled ‘undefineable’) is self-defined as a drifter, gambling addict and sock fetishist. He will perform two sets of his poetic slop-art remedial comedy.

Esme Rodriguez, drag queen and trans/intersex cultural theorist will perform a drag show on the loading dock and amidst Ben Gill’s Brancussi-esque sculpture garden.

The video installation Stone Painting by Amsterdam based Estonian artist Katja Novitskova, merges caves at Lascaux with virtual reality.

At 10 pm, the evening will conclude with a screening of Paris is Burning the documentary chronicling ball culture in 1980’s New York.
