SPILL FESTIVAL WEBSITE (tickets)

Visions of Excess will create a swirling, vertiginous “total derangement of the senses” which could induce personal transfiguration and the expansion of consciousness.

Step inside. Let your eyes adjust, we've got all night, so take your time..."

Homopunks at Home

Our friend and artist Donatien Veismann, who has a beautiful and stunning show MISTER NUDE PUNK AMERICA at Envoy Gallery, recently came over to trade art and take some silly-homo-punk portraits of Slava and me. Donatien brought the gum, deer toys and rabbit ears and we added our own gear.

In the audience sat the largest and most valuable private collections of art younger — or at least living — art corresponded roughly 100 each by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Tom Wesselmann and George Condo to pharmaceutical codings. Including more than the previous estimate, more than 3,000 works. A record-holder for a single artist so invested, they’re like the casino fingers and chewed gum bargains here that reaped around $20 million back in '93
