Dj Beyonda at the Works
9/8/09

After the hilarious and defining performance by Artist in Residence Kalup Linzy, the large crowd quickly escaped the theater to refresh on drinks and eat from the now 3 food cart options, recharging to dance all night long.
I do not think we can take full credit, or even any credit for the impulses of artists. Although it is kind of strange that several of our TBA alumni take to shearing off their hair post festival. (e.g. Nature Theater of Oklahoma TBA:06 closing night when cast members closed down the Works by taking to a makeshift stage and buzz clipping off their hipster hairdo's).
When Vivarium Studio's visited us in 2006 I not so secretly called company member Zinn Atmane, the "Future of Hair" (a title I had given Lone Twin in 04/05).
Gary from Lone Twin was beard before beard was cool again. TBA:05
So was Lone Twin, Greg. TBA:05
What is the "future of hair"? Well artists are often future forecasters of sorts and while their work often pushes at the sides of reality, so does their fashion. Vivarium Studios returned to PICA this year for the Time-Based Art Festival, and I had heard rumors that Zinn wanted to tease his q-tip coiffure into a Reggie Watts like explosion.

Instead he returned to France and made this video.

Brother and Sister create an atmosphere that is like kindergarten with no teachers.
People were climbing up and down off of the stage, drawing on the walls, jumping around like apes and dressed like neaderthals.
Four people got tatoos as part of the scavenger hunt!
