Friday October 30 | 7-10pm
featuring: NATE CAREY, EMMY CATEDRAL, NATALEE CAYTON, ADAM COLLIGNON, JASON IRWIN, SAVANNAH KNOOP, AMANDA TURNER POHAN & RUFUS TUREEN
“BACON FRIDAY is an homage to the most eccentric and natural performer that I’ve ever met. I once had the opportunity to work with a man named Marshall. He ate bacon all day, once a week, every week for over 50 years. It was his ritual. He had the likeness of a vampire and was ridiculed most of his life for this resemblance. Coincidentally, Marshall died of a heart attack during the East Village Halloween Parade wearing a Dracula costume. He was a true performer and this new series is a celebration of those who perform on the fringes, often unknown to the masses.” – Irvin Morazan

JULY-SEPTEMBER 2015
ROW / SEW: 3 SUNDAYS FOR ROBERT SEYDEL
A series of gatherings of artists and writers to address, to read, to perform, to pay homage to the life and work of Robert Seydel, his alter ego Ruth Greisman, and her friends Joseph Cornell, Marcel Duchamp, et al.
Organized by Emmy Catedral with Nathaniel Otting in conjunction with Siglio and Ugly Duckling Presse. The exhibition Robert Seydel: The Eye in Matter, curated by Peter Gizzi, Lisa Pearson, and Richard Kraft, is now on view at Queens Museum til September 27th.
All events start at 3 p.m.
Open to the public and a donation is suggested for museum entry.
JULY 26: Art a Grammar, Grammar a House: A Gathering (or, Artist-Writers: A Weaving)
An afternoon of short performances & shorter lectures by “artist-writers” (as in a page from Seydel’s Knot-books) delivered from the place where Stein’s “Arthur: A Grammar” meets Seydel’s “Grammar a house / or window in a house.” Cecilia Vicuña, Maria Damon, Emmalea Russo, Anna Gurton-Wachter, Rachel Valinsky & Lanny Jordan Jackson presenting excerpts from a rare film on Arakawa + Gins, and Zanna Gilbert on Edgardo Antonio Vigo.
AUGUST 16: Plaid Duchamp Record in Magenta
A picture always wants to be something else —Robert Seydel
dream sacred plaid Duchamp record in magenta moleskin —Paolo Javier
A program of photographs, poetry and 8mm short films inspired by Joseph Cornell who figures large in the universe of Seydel’s Ruth. Flushing-based poet and filmmaker Stephanie Gray and former Queens Poet Laureate Paolo Javier will read and perform their collaborative film narration Eterniday which brings the two artists to Cornell's house on Utopia Parkway. Preceding Gray and Javier will be Harry Roseman, who captured Cornell and the details of his house in photographs taken when Roseman worked closely with the artist between 1969 til the year of his death in 1972.
SEPTEMBER 27: “Quail rise”: “R’s Queens” Reprised
My name & time: a Queens of the mind.
There’s an occult meaning in initials.
“Read in splendour” between these two lines from Robert Seydel‘s Book of Ruth. The eponymous Ruth Greisman writes: JC, MD, will never understand our distance from life—they’re pretenders in that. This restaging of a scene from last year’s Eterniday event has new players and brings back Ross Simonini and a mysterious delivery from Jane Carver in absentia. Proceeding from the “occult meaning in initials,” the afternoon includes Songs of S with readings by Stefani Barber, Sarah Wang, Simone Kearney and TK.

Exhibition:
December 7, 2014–December 21, 2014
Reception: Saturday, December 6, 3pm-3am

2144 NE 2nd Avenue
Miami, FL, 33137

ICEBERG'S TONGUE gathers artists who, in their work and practice, speak to nomadic existence. The artists in the exhibition approach provisionality, impermanence and movement from different perspectives, ranging from astronomical constellations, to transcultural mythology, to big data. The works, in painting, video, sculpture, and mixed media, chart myriad instances of transient objects, artifacts, and gestures.
The aesthetic of passage and circulation is matched by the sprawling, circuitous architecture of the NE 2nd Avenue studio building, itself a temporary camp for nomadic artists who travel to participate in the YoungArts residency program. In Iceberg’s Tongue, transient objects converge, momentarily “popping up” in a transient space, only to disassemble and disperse in a few weeks’ time.
Organized by James Weingrod and Baris Gokturk, the exhibition includes works by artists Emmy Catedral, Katherine Behar, Sarada Rauch, JD Fernandez, Claudia Pena Salinas, Caroline Burghardt, Baris Gokturk, and Becky Brown.
ICEBERG'S TONGUE will appear concurrently in the space with a second exhibition, "Sunk", organized by General Practice’s Carlos Rigau.

Out to See Curated by Sara Reisman
Out to See presents visual artists from across the city and the Seaport itself whose artworks are strategically installed to highlight the unique character of the neighborhood’s natural and architectural landscape. The placement of artwork activates under-utilized spaces like empty storefronts, construction fencing, and other surfaces of the built environment, promoting a more conscious experience of the neighborhood. Artworks featured in the exhibition reflect on the Seaport’s history as a place of both economic and cultural exchange, as a transport hub, its ecological vulnerabilities, and the fine line between art and commerce.
Located at Melville Gallery at 213 Water St., Cannon’s Walk and Front St. with more nearby locations. Pick up a map at Cannons Walk.

3 pm, “Quail rise”: R’s Queens”
My name & time: a Queens of the mind.
There’s an occult meaning in initials.
To “read in splendour” between these two lines from Robert Seydel‘s BOOK OF RUTH (Siglio, 2011), in which the eponymous Ruth Greisman “writes”: JC, MD, will never understand our distance from life – they’re pretenders in that. “Writes” in quotes because RG, like the Queens she shared with Joseph Cornell (through whom she “met” Marcel Duchamp), is of the mind (tho Ruth was Real: Robert’s aunt and, in his words “the artist in the Book,” no quotes. For Quails rise, read R’s Queens. For Marcel Duchamp, Mina Pam Dick will read. For Joseph Cornell, Jane Carver will sound. For Robert Seydel, Ross Simonini will sing. For Formulas & Flowers, Farnoosh Fathi. Featuring a sub-sub library and one other very special guest. Organized by Emmy Catedral and H. Weaver.
