PRANKS 2
58 Gallery presents:
Saturday February 3, 2007
8 – 12PM
58 Gallery
58 Coles St, Jersey City, New Jersey
www.fifty8.com
Directions: Grove Street PATH Station
Walk 4 blocks West (Away from NYC) on Newark, turn right on Coles St. Gallery is storefront in middle of block.
PARTY, PANEL and VIDEO SHOWING of excerpts from Ron English's "Popaganda," the "Yes Men" Film and Scott Beale's "You'd Better Watch Out" documenting the Cacophony Society's wild "Santarchy" escapade in Portland. (For the past ten years, groups of folks dressed up as Santa Claus have invaded department stores, hotel parties and other events, causing ideological havoc and consumer confusion--anarchic fun! Over the years, the Santas have spread to major cities over the planet.)
Far more than a video show, the Feb 3 evening will encompass a Panel (taking audience Q&A's) with local New York artists who appear in RE/Search's newest book, PRANKS 2: Ron English, Julia Solis, the YES MEN (tentative) and JOHN LAW from San Francisco. All interested in RE/Search's 30 year history, pranks, and cultural subversion in general are urged to attend and meet-and-greet featured pranksters both before and after the show. This is a rare opportunity to engage with prankster pioneers, while supporting the counterculture RE/Search publishing enterprise.
Special performance by Earl Norman. Listen to Big Empty Ego by Earl Norman and Ron English
RE/Search's new "PRANKS 2" book is now available from Bluestockings, or if they are sold out, from http://www.researchpubs.com or call 415-362-1465 to order!
