This summer, JD Samson of Le Tigre collaborated with photographer Cass Bird on a follow up to their celebrated 2003 project, "JD's Lesbian Calendar", with a new calendar entitled, "JD's Lesbian Utopia". The project was photographed over 10 days while traveling with five lesbian friends in a rented RV, visiting gay and lesbian campgrounds and RV parks in across the United States in search of a 'Lesbian Utopia'. As they traveled across country sides and mountains in this 30-foot vehicle with a kitchenette, they feverishly documented every moment that met them: from tubing on the hazy rivers of Georgia women's land, to frolicking in the above-ground pool oasis of a Texas gay men's ranch. JD and friends took over 2000 photos and 26 hours of video tape of both the proprietors and visitors of these intentional spaces, and of themselves, who, by traveling together so closely, were creating their own Lesbian Utopia.

On January 20 JD will be taking back to the road to DJ at Holocene. She'll be showing images from the project, signing autographs, and DJing your favorite tracks. Come dance and share the moment of making Utopia. Together.
