SUMMARY:Chalkboard
DESCRIPTION:  \nBuzz Slutzky and Greg Newton present Chalkboard. \n  \nNo grades. \nNo degrees. \nNo goals. \n  \nAll are welcome. \nNo prerequisites. \n  \nArt histories \nHumor as critique \nSilence as strategy \nFailure \nImpotence \nInsincerity \nInauthenticity \nQueers \n  \n  \nBuzz explores comedic critiques of history. What role does humor play in art? Does humor strengthen art’s power\, or do punchlines trivialize meaning? How have artists used humor to question power and make our own narratives? Why would one be historically accurate when one can be ~hysterically~ accurate? \n  \nGreg explores anti-expressive tendencies in the art world of 1950s-60s New York and the lives of the artists who chose not to express themselves. Getting personal with silent (quiet) subjects. The appeal of the negative\, then and now. \n  \nSuggested donation of $10 to benefit the Bureau. \nNo one turned away for lack of funds. \n  \nChalkboard has the potential to become a series. \n  \n  \nBuzz Slutzky is a non-binary transgender artist\, writer\, and performer whose practice incorporates drawing\, painting\, sculpture\, and video. Their visual art and writing often play between autobiographical and historical content. As a performer\, Buzz has mixed stand-up comedy and musical comedy under the persona Stoni Butchell\, among others. Buzz studied visual art and social movement histories at Sarah Lawrence College and received their MFA from Parsons Fine Arts. They currently teach film and visual art at CUNY College of Staten Island and SUNY Purchase College. \n  \n  \nGreg Newton studied religion and art history at Hunter College. He completed his coursework and examinations for a doctorate degree in art history at CUNY Graduate Center. After having his dissertation topic approved—”The Emergence of Monochrome Painting in 1950s New York”—Newton aborted his pursuit of the degree and a career in academia. He co-founded the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division in 2012 with his partner\, Donnie Jochum. \n  \n  \n
