FRANKIE MARTIN wrote to tell us – she will be showing two videos, ‘Born Again’ and ‘Who Died?’ <\/p>\n
at MONKEYTOWN – SAT – MAY 16, 2009 \/ SHOWTIME: 7:30 PM as FM says herself: “This is the new shizz”.<\/p>\n ‘Born Again ‘ is about the rebirth of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus. ‘Who Died?’ is about death and the transcendence of the human body. YIKES !!- do we detect some diss, grudge, and even, anger over … the arbitrary & small-minded curatorial decisions – at the supposedly cutting edge, but mostly disappointing – NEW MUSEUM !!<\/p>\n or, is it just hard not to be the newest kids on the block, anymore ?? whatever – its looking to be another long dreary rainy day, so here’s a nice rainy day cruise: check out: FRANKIE FEVER FOREVER \/aka FM\/FRANKIE MARTIN !!<\/a><\/p>\n check out: LEIDY CHURCHMAN<\/a>\/which FM deems: ‘Columbia’s finest’ !!<\/p>\n check out: THROUGH THE TREES\/aka ERIKA SOMOGYI !!<\/a><\/p>\n check out: DJ JJJJJ JeJJx !!<\/a> or, “do you mind dying?”<\/p>\n
