SMASH DISHES & MAKE SWEET ART WITH ME!

Are you free this
Thursday night? If you’re in the Bay Area, come and break dishes with
me! Once again, I’ve been possessed by yet another bizarre creative
urge. This urge will be unleashed in the group show Building Our Own
White Picket Fences, organized by Femina Potens gallery. I need to
create a huge pile of broken tableware.

[The Info]
What: Shatter Party with Midori
When: Thursday Oct 27, 7:30pm - 9:30pm
Where: Michelle O'Connor Gallery, 2111 Mission St., San Francisco

What: Smash, shatter, break, crack and destroy dishes for art and
catharsis! Midori’s installation, “Every Happy Family” for White Picket
Fences exhibition needs the biggest pile of broken crockery and
porcelain we can create.
Krispy Kreme donuts and refreshments provided to fuel your smashing arm.

Entry Fee: A dish! Bring a dish, cup, saucer or something made of
stoneware, crockery or porcelain to break. (No glass please!) No
dishes? No worries! Dishes await you at the door for $5 minimum
donation. The donation goes to buying all those dishes, donuts and
making this piece possible.

If you have eye protection or glasses, please bring them. If not, we’ll have a few.
All ages welcome.]

The show officially opens the following day so you’re getting a sneak peak
Show info: www.feminapotens.org and http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/306900305/building-our-own-picket-fences-queer-community-art

Here’s what the show is about:

“Building Our Own White Picket Fences is a multi-media visual and
performative art exhibit that offers Queer perspectives on traditional
notions of family, marriage, and relationships. This innovative exhibit
will offer interactive performance and art works for the audience to
explore through performance, video, audio, & playful installations.
Artists Midori, Monica Canilao, Harrison Bartlett, Mev Luna, Amelia
Reiff Hill and Madison Young have come together to create this engaging
body of work that is not to be missed. This body of work serves as a
reflection of the experiences of the LGBT community relationships with
their partners and families as well as creating dialogue around family
dynamics that exist outside of the box.”

I’m also looking to
collect some attendee video footage and commentary, so if can come and
capture that with phone or cam, I’d be grateful!

For those of you who can’t join me, I promise to post pix and vids of the mayhem.

Wishing you wonderful adventures!

Midori
