*Danielle De Picciotto is a renaissance femme fatale:): painter,
videographer, musician, writer, (and, and!). She collaborates often
with Alexander Hacke from Einsturzende Neubauten, including on the
vid we'll show, (which is distinctly non-Neubautien) Recent projects
include drawing and painting shows in London, Berlin, and Copenhagen,
the Neubauten Documentary Jewels, and an upcoming memoir based on her
life in Berlin post-Wall.

*Bijoux Altamirano...baby renaissance ff 2! she's a filmmaker, Karen
Black dancer, and we've watched her come up since she was like 16!
Recent works include 'Andrew WK and Cherie Lily get married', a goth
noir short..and the vid we're gonna show.

*Kenny Curwood is hard at work right this second developing crazy
super 8 film in a bucket, i'm guessing bqe abstraction he filmed from
on top of some rotocholo van. He recently showed sculpture at
C.R.E.A.M. projects in Greenpoint

*Vid angel/performance artist Arielle Falk has lately been creating
real-time, challenging works on the street, including a series of
Pedestrian festival performances (where her stage was the whole length
of 14th street), and the mannequin-limb-bestrewn piece we'll show here

Allegedly filmmaker and musician Jake Magher is unearthing and
collating footage and music of a lost 60's jazz secret sharer. Or..
in the words of JW Nicholson, Yesterday I saw the future. I'll tell
you about it tomorrow

Tamara Gonzales is a multimedia artist who plays with day of the dead,
porn mask weird-grand-street-brooklyn-found-toy imagery, among other
things. she's showed at PS1 and Art Basel

Ame Curtiss flunked high school photography and didn’t pick up a
camera for 13 years. Born with an overly obsessive mind aggravated by
a fanatically religious upbringing she eventually escaped into
debauchery and the electronic music underground. 6 car crashes and
three brain surgeries later Curtiss stole a canon ae1 from her father
and hit the fucking streets…

*Rebecca Gaffney is a videographer, musician, photographer etccc. and
has been obsessed with strobe forever and how it fucks up the camera
lens. Recent work includes a video in the 2009 Movement Research
festival and photos in Capricious Magazine #9

*Bill Whitten heads New York's own Grand Mal, is the erstwhile leader
of St. Johnny
