A Book Club Burlesque inspired by "Mutiny On The Bounty" on board the good ship LILAC at Pier 40

With many talented artists confirmed to bring music, installations, dancing, and performance art to the various nooks and crannies of the historic Lilac, this event promises to be the event of the spring. For those who don't know, Book Club Burlesque is responsible for promoting sexy, literate fun through thematic choices. It is in every sense a Book Club, and in every sense a Burlesque party. It has been featured as a Voice Choice (Riverdale Sock-Hop) and features a revolving cast of eccentric contributors. Mutineers celebrates a life on the high seas, a naughty-cal night of art and adventure with plenty of booty-shaking!

Expect to dance ALL NIGHT LONG with DJ ECON from Happy Landing!

All contributors do so for ART's sake alone, but tips are appreciated and gathered in inverse order.
People you should expect to have read the book and been inspired by it:

Agnes DeGarron Alexis Pace Andy Thompson Axon D'Luxe Ben Lerman Binky Club Lum Darlinda Just Darlinda Dick Mitchell Elisabeth Kley Emily North

Eric Linton Hex Project Jeremiah Jones Jonathan Bitchman Julian of Nowhere Lee Kyle Lance Horne Maia Star McCann Miss Em Ned Stresen-Reuter Nicholas Gorham

Nicole Jaquis Peter Cramer Ricardo Caranza Robert Appleton Russ LaChance Stephen Kent Jusick Susannah The Goddess Perlman Xavier Woody Woods ... and more!

HOW will these people share their vast literary plunder and show you they're 20,000 leagues above the rest?! Come early, Stay Late, FIND OUT!

ABOUT Inbred Hybrid Collective
Inbred Hybrid Collective was established in 2005 with the mandate to stimulate a consciousness of the external factors affecting our human existence. The type of interventions associated with Inbred Hybrid Collective, achieved as artistic concept, constitute a provocation for the public to reflect upon the influence that this immersion has had upon them. Most recently Inbred Hybrid Collective made history as the first sanctioned performance artist at New York's Armory Show. We encourage our artists to fully bring their own creativity to each piece, relating their performance or installation to themes or text, and having sexy literate fun. Past Book Club Burlesque books have included: Lolita, Valley of the Dolls, Less Than Zero, The Scarlet Letter, Archie Comics, the Brothers Grimm Collection, Siddhartha, Stranger in a Strange Land, City of Night, Please Send Money.

MIX NYC @ The BAAD! Out Like That! Festival 2009

What is forbidden to us is determined not only by the mainstream culture but also by our own home cultures. The selected works look through multiple cultural lenses to speak the artist's truths. They explore what we have been forbidden to speak about, from queer masculinity to HIV status, and what we have been forbidden to want, from a tryst in the restroom to a way out of gendered racial stereotypes.

June 18 | 7:30 pm
Live Wire/Remote, The Education of Abou Ben Adhem, etc.
Anthology Film Archives | 32 Second Ave | Manhattan, NY
World premiers by Jack Waters and Peter Cramer. Waters is a filmmaker, writer, media artist, choreographer, and performer. Cramer is an archivist, filmmaker, performer, and curator. Their 20-year collaboration is currently represented in the development of a multi-media opus-in-progress titled PESTILENCE, a concept initiated in residence at the Emily Harvey Foundation in Venice, Italy. They are the co-founders of LE PETIT VERSAILLES, an Operation Green Thumb garden on the Lower East Side that presents screenings, music, performance, visual art exhibitions, and new media; and the custodians of ABC NO RIO's extensive archives, under Allied Productions, Inc., the artist-run organization they co-founded.
