Video Vaudeville's Manhattan Neighborhood Network Broadcast of “Pull My Daisy”, a collaborative work by video artist Brian Zegeer and musician Baby Copperhead. Join Vaudeville Park and guests at K & M Bar, 225 N 8th Street, Williamsburg, 8-11PM on this Tuesday, June 14.“Pull My Daisy” is a re-interpretation of the 1959 Robert Frank/Alfred Leslie film of the same name. The original film upends narrative conventions in its depiction of Beat poets Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, Peter Orlovsky, etc, presenting a fragmentary series of encounters that echoes the literary and social radicalism for which the Beats are known. Zegeer adopts this non-linear approach to narrative in collaborations with the musician Baby Copperhead. Video clips, re-interpreting passages from the original Frank/Lesley film, are edited in real-time, with the purpose of discovering new narrative threads within the same material. Baby Copperhead’s circuit-bending soundtrack operates in dialogue with the video to reinforce or disrupt cohesiveness. On Tuesday, the artists will be performing a loose series of routines from the “Pull My Daisy” performance throughout the night. At 10:30 the MNN broadcast will be screened. Visitors are welcome throughout the evening. K & M 225 N 8th St (between Hinckley Pl & Turner Pl) Brooklyn, NY 11211

We're excited to spread the news that composer Angélica Negrón, a member of the Circles and Lines consortium, was recently named by Q2 as one of the Top 100 Composers Under 40! Congratulations to everyone who made the list! We loved listening to Angelica's soundtrack to the short film, How The DoDo Became Extinct (2006, Shelley Dodson), and we look forward to having her back at VP, along with the rest of the stellar Circles and Lines crew.

A write up on our current showcase "Anomalistic Urge". Closes Sunday! James Wagner writes: "I wanted to get this post published before it was too late to send anyone to see this wonderful short-run (only ten-days) group show of sculpture in Williamsburg. Barry and I stopped in at Vaudeville Park last Sunday to see "Anomalistic Urge." intrigued by the siren of a new space and a new curator... ...Vaudeville Park is as much a (very interesting) music and performance space as anything else, and so we're not surprised to hear that there will be a closing party and "sound performance" this Sunday, April 10, from 6 to 9 (not to mention some quirky contemporary classical music tonight, and "feral chamber music" on Saturday)."
