Come celebrate the opening of Landscape: the virtual, the actual, the possible? and Alien She with an evening of live music, DJs, and performances by the free jazz-inspired punk band No Babies and the guitar heavy punk band Daisy World. A video by Landscape artist Simon Pyle, The River Lethe, will illuminate the Grand Lobby, while DJs Tina “Boom Boom” Lucchesi (Owner, Down At LuLu's/Member of Cyclops, The Trashwomen, The Bobbyteens) and Erin Eyesore (Ribbon Around a Bomb, Radio Valencia) spin female-fronted punk from the 1970s on. Guests are invited to meet and converse using Alien She artist Miranda July’s interactive mobile messaging app Somebody.
Set against the background of the Anthropocene discourse and its extended cultural and social debates, Landscape: the virtual, the actual, the possible? focuses on landscape, nature, and gardens by posing the question: What is the mirror effect between landscape and technology, and how does each inform how we understand and experience ourselves and others?
Alien She is the first exhibition to examine the lasting impact of Riot Grrrl, a pioneering punk feminist movement that emerged in the early 1990s in reaction to pervasive and violent sexism, racism, and homophobia in the punk music scene and in the culture at large. Emphasizing female and youth empowerment, collaborative organization, creative resistance, and DIY ethics, Riot Grrrl helped a new generation to become active feminists and create their own culture . This exhibition focuses on seven people whose visual art practices were informed by their contact with Riot Grrrl, in addition to a historical section sampling the movement's vast creative output through hundreds of self-published zines, hand-designed posters, musical playlists representing different Riot Grrrl scenes internationally, video interviews, and more.
