I guess we made it just in time. But we didn't, really. It's gone as of yesterday, and we only saw a few minutes of the screening. "Butch Queen Realness with a Twist in Pastel Colors", is described as an ongoing video program curated by Assume Vivid Astro Focus and it was being shown for one short month in the John Connelly Presents gallery annex.

This wonderful program should be installed permanently in theatres accessible to people everywhere in the world. Yes, I think the program would have to change over time, although perhaps it should only be lengthened, even though I understand it's already four hours long.

Together the four works whose stills are shown above are on the screen less than eleven minutes. I wish we could go back and camp out for a while; After these last few weeks, I'm definitely ready to shut down the outside world.

I missed this one as well.. and I'm a total AVAF groupie!

Damn, gallery summer hours!!

It's just not fair.. if you work a normal NYC 8am-6pm job.. you're shutout of all the gallery shows in the city. It really makes me mad & sad.

I missed over 10 shows I wanted to see.

But thanks to you and bloggy.. we get to see alittle of it! Or atleast we get to see what we missed! :-(
