Peepshow 2008
Feb 5, 2008
We are into the stretch of winter when the skies are gray and the natives’ outlooks are bleak. Valentines Day is around the corner, but for some Buffalo artists, love really is a drag – queen, that is. We’re spending this Saturday in something sexy, getting slapped on the ass and enjoying the biggest love and sex party of the year. Squeaky Wheel is holding it’s bi-annual Peepshow 08 at the historic Broadway Market.
This installation project is a benefit, but it is still R-rated, 18+ and not suggested for virgins, or, um, those with virgin eyes. The Broadway Market’s booths have been refurbished by Patrick Robideau, artist and fabricator, in true peepshow fashion. One booth will be equipped with all the props for a Be Bo Peep photo shoot with local photographer, Nancy Parisi. Yet another, Relax On The Love Seat, is a couch, created by media artist Sean Hovendick, which releases sounds of pleasure and intimacy when sat upon. Guests can practice speed dating, make homemade chastity belts, and even take the stage in the meat market to have someone paint on their bodies while other watch through peep holes.
No peepshow would be complete without private screening booths. NYC based artist, Valerie Pawlowski has created a film that explores the ironic relationship between consumerism and the porn industry that utilizes food. A film based in Troy, NY, documents a love triangle between two women who love the same man, and there will even be a film created by legend, John Knecht. “Upper, is full of color and clowns and polka music; but it slides down the slope of debauchery and excess and ends up, once again, in hell,” stated Knecht.
Guests do not have to grab their clothes and run when the art show is done. The party will congregate in the mess hall for a dance party lubricated by Brazilian jazz trio Don Metz, Heather Connor and Michael Colquhoun; guitar duo Nick Vega and Mike Golner, Mother Red and Handsome Jack.
We have more up our sleeve to reveal to you, dear readers, but isn’t half the fun in stripping away the layers?
