A Project for Disastrous Success
LOCATION:
218 West 3rd Street, Bradbury Building
Downtown Los Angeles, CA 90013
DATES: December 10th to December 31st
OPENING RECEPTION: December 10th 6pm to 9pm
WEBSITE: http://www.tumblr.com/blog/virginiaben55
In their first collaboration together, Ben Huang and Virginia Dan present a performance piece that will explore cause-and-effect and the processes of observation and reaction. Huang and Dan have used fabric remnants, dollar store finds, and discarded objects in the construction of costumes that act as the catalyst for the interaction of six performers. Each performer uses movement and noise to cause an equal or opposite reaction of a fellow performer. As the piece progresses, performers must be aware and alert for repeated actions to ensure chaos is contained and controlled, though there are no guarantees.
Please join the artists and performers for the opening reception, there will be one live performance at each half hour for the duration of the reception.

NEW NOISE
Art Show and Performances
January 8th, 2011 from 7 to 10pm. Runs through January 30th.
Future Studio Gallery, 5558 N Figueroa LA, 90042, on
Jeff Boynton, Mona Jean Cedar, and Andy Ben will be premiering new noises as part of the NELA 2nd Saturday Art Walk. It will be part installation and part show with sporadic mini performances throughout the night.
Jeff’s circuit bending is legendary. Always pushing the black art into ingeniously innovative inventions, he will be premiering three new circuit bent instruments:
The Saw Choir – yes, a choir of small recordable dolls from the “Saw” movies
The Perplexi-Feeli - really, the Touchie- Feelie on steroids .. you’ll see
The Giant Pink Wheel of Torture - think pink with a capital P and spinning
Mona Jean Cedar will be presenting a new prose piece: The TEN-der Commandments conceived specifically for The Saw Choir and inspired by Rob Brezsny’s book “Pronoia”
Andy Ben brings his multi-media artistry into the fray by performing on his own old timey housed bent toys in solo sets and with Jeff and with Walter Gross. Mr. Ben’s DIY bent instruments will be for sale.
Virginia Dan will also be showing several of their disturbingly cute paintings and drawings.

1/29/10: A new year
As with every year I have decided to push myself more towards getting my shit together. Last year my goal was simply getting a website, which I did with ease thanks to OtherPeoplesPixels. This year my goal is to actually archive old work to my site and make new work to keep it updated....hopefully this will all lead to a better future for the entire world.
My other resolutions include:
being more appreciative of my friends and family
lessen the level of complaining
overcome my laziness
and get abes of steal

3/17/09: LADY GAGA
After careful consideration and hours of deliberation, I have ruled that i HATE lady gaga as a person, performer, entertainer, and musician, but LOVE her costumes and wardrobe. Who ever thought of her wearing a plastic bubble costume while playing a see-through piano was a genius.
