Opening night reception - Friday 13th January, 7 till 10 pm:
First showing of Charles E.Roberts III, ACT 1 FOR THE TEMPLE THEATER
FOR THE GRUESOME KING (7.15pm)
PERFORMANCE by Rosé Hernandez (8 pm)
Scent filled food and drinks will be served for your delight
throughout the evening.

The selected art works and objects on display offer transformations of
their subject matter, dissolving recognizable forms into artificiality
and illusion. The installation of Avon bottles, around which the the
exhibition is based, has been assembled by co-curators Alice Kain and
Jonathan Sommer. This piece, using the outre theme of Avon bottles,
encourages a playful interpretation for the rest of the exhibition. We
invite the viewer to consume the sights and smells without longing for
meaning, instead to be entertained by the collision of artistic media
displayed in the S&S Project gallery space.

Exhibition Runs:
Friday 13th January 2012 - Friday 10th February 2012
At:
S&S Project Gallery
3147 S Morgan St

shapeshifting in yellow




"she guided the Gypsy's manhood to the place and held on to it until it slipped between her fingers and buried itself in the boy.The sensation of touching the two boys made Elizabeth very warm , as if a small flame , beginning at the center of her spine, had shut suddenly upward, filling her brain. Her mouth was dry , and her boyish tights clung to her legs with her wetness. At the center of this delicious sensation there was also a thought :if this is what I can make happen because I am Countess Bathory, think of all that I may experience in the future. I am only eleven years old now,and I know very little about pleasure" -Andrei Condrescu
