SUMMARY:The Bureau On Hand at Situational Junta: An Unlikely Diplomatic Alliance
DESCRIPTION:The Bureau will be on hand to sell books at Situational Junta: An Unlikely Diplomatic Alliance \nLocation: The Bowery Arts + Science at The Bowery Poetry Club\n \n308 Bowery\, between Bleecker and Houston \nDates: Mondays\, Oct 21\, Nov 18\, Dec 16 \nThe first Situational Junta\, on Monday\, October 21\, will feature: \nEmcee: Negin Farsad  \nMain Dish: Artefacting \n{Each evening begins with a happy hour from 6pm to 7pm\, and a live radio broadcast from 7-8pm.} \nTime: 6-8pm \n $10 \nABOUT THE SERIES\n \nThe United States Department of Arts and Culture (USDAC) and the Associação Espaço Cultural Lanchonete (aka Lanchonete) are taking over Bowery Poetry for a series of evening encounters and exchanges\, one part happy hour and the other part radio talk show… shaken\, stirred\, and served straight up on the airwaves! For three evenings this Fall\, Situational Junta poses a simple question: If artists are empowered to innovate on a large enough scale to interrupt the status quo\, what would that look like? \nAntonio Gramsci wrote that “The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.” Situational Junta convenes a cast of unlikely midwives to cross borders and spark whimsy as they search for workarounds (or gambiarra) to the present condition and stoke a hunger for something new. Equal parts salon\, happening\, cabaret\, and fireside chat\, Situational Junta is a mash-up of ideas and forms building new alliances and bridging Bowery Poetry’s past to the future. \nDescription: Each evening is designed as a radio talk show\, hosted by an emcee\, and featuring a main guest or guests. In addition to their interview-conversation or performance\, guests may prompt the audience to speak amongst themselves as music takes over the broadcast. A rotating\, intergenerational\, interdisciplinary cast of characters round out the hour through a tightly choreographed sequence of commentary\, artist work\, news flashes\, and ‘commercial breaks’. People and projects emerge in unlikely proximity. Music\, ideas\, and drinks flow and the evening culminates with a soapbox open mic that invites audience members to join the broadcast. The <<main dish>> is surrounded by a sequence of newsflashes\, ‘commercial breaks’\, and urgent interventions by a retinue of creative schemers and artful dreamers. \n

SUMMARY:FUR + bOObs

He’s fired from his job\, sexually harassed by his brother\, written off as an object by the world. His girlfriend Ursula is the sole life saver on this leaky raft\, but even she wonders if his gender identification is a game of musical chairs and somebody stole the one marked “DUDE.” His bank account and ego explode as he cluelessly exploits his voluptuous new figure\, but with Gomer Pyle’s brain\, Marilyn Monroe’s cleavage\, and enemies piling up left and right\, it will take more than a sturdy bra to get him through the next thirty days. \n  \n \n\nFUR: The Love of Hair\, by Ron J.

SUMMARY:Seanchai Justin Sayre
DESCRIPTION:Gearing up for his new piece with The Pop-Up Museum of Queer History (10/26)\, Rite of Water\, based on the life and work of the Poet Hart Crane\, Justin Sayre (The Meeting*\, Night of a Thousand Judys) reads selections from a collection of his own poetry. \nJustin Sayre – best known as the creator and writer of the hit downtown comedy/variety show The Meeting*(2012 Bistro Award\, 2011 MAC Nominee) and its annual benefit “Night of A Thousand Judys” – was described by Michael Musto in The Village Voice as “Oscar Wilde meets Whoopi Goldberg.” In a recent story for Edge New York\, Steve Weinstein said “Comedian\, raconteur\, performing artist\, gay rights activist and sexual outlaw: I’m not sure Justin Sayre is classifiable. The veteran performer is on his way to becoming a Downtown Manhattan institution along the lines of Charles Ludlum or Charles Busch.” An evening of his short plays\, “Justin Sayre Is Alive and Well… Writing” – called one of the “Top 10 Events on the New York Stage” by the New York Daily News – sold out two shows at Ars Nova last April. A reading of his play\, The Click of The Lock\, is set for this November.

SUMMARY:NYC Book Launch of Joon Oluchi Lee's Lace Sick Bag
DESCRIPTION:The Bureau and Publication Studio proudly present the NYC book launch of Joon Oluchi Lee‘s Lace Sick Bag. \nWith Lace Sick Bag\, Joon Oluchi Lee offers thirteen hard\, delicate\, and sweet stories for you to wear close to your skin. Borne from a desire to embody femininity\, these are stories that sound and feel like women. They traverse opposite coasts of bodily existence\, as men turn into women\, women turn into men\, children become mothers\, mothers become children. (And geographic coasts as well: New York and San Francisco turn into each other.) They burrow deep into the psyche and then spring out to teach you how to glimmeringly show your insides on the outside. \nJoon Oluchi Lee (@girlscallmurder) is a feminist text and body maker\, and a professor of Gender and Performance at Rhode Island School of Design. He is the author of “The Joy of the Castrated Boy” and lipstickeater.blogspot.com. Joon was grown and educated in Seoul\, Iowa City\, Charlottesville\, and San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Verse\, Prose\, And Ramblings From The Minds Of Nicholas Gorham\, Justin Sayre\, And Charlotte Miller
DESCRIPTION:Nicholas Gorham invites his two favorite writers to join him in a public end of summer thoughts and feelings fest that will surely titillate the neuroses of the most steadfast wasp. Join us for a reading of some work\, new and old! \n \nNICHOLAS GORHAM\nNicholas Gorham is a graduate of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and has been performing in New York since the early part of the Century. After crossing the Canadian border\, Nicholas had an awakening that theatre could exist without limitations and began to create his own work in the downtown queer performance scene. Credits include The Goddess Ianna in “Justin Bond Re:Galli Blonde (A Sissy Fix)”; Big Art Group’s “Fleshtone” and Nicholas Gorham: “One Drop Passing” at La MaMa\, E.T.C.\, In 2011\, Nicholas founded The Spectrum\, a queer performance\, rehearsal and art space in Brooklyn.\n \n  \n\nJUSTIN SAYRE\nBest known as the creator and writer of the hit downtown comedy/variety show The Meeting*(2012 Bistro Award\, 2011 MAC Nominee) and its annual benefit “Night of A Thousand Judys” – was described by Michael Musto in The Village Voice as “Oscar Wilde meets Whoopi Goldberg.” In a recent story for Edge New York\, Steve Weinstein said “Comedian\, raconteur\, performing artist\, gay rights activist and sexual outlaw: I’m not sure Justin Sayre is classifiable. The veteran performer is on his way to becoming a Downtown Manhattan institution along the lines of Charles Ludlum or Charles Busch.” An evening of his short plays\, “Justin Sayre Is Alive and Well… Writing” – called one of the “Top 10 Events on the New York Stage” by the New York Daily News – sold out two shows at Ars Nova last April. A second reading of his play\, The Click of The Lock\, starring Randy Harrison\, Christian Coulson and Sean Dugan took place at Labyrinth’s Bank Street Theater this February\n \n  \n\nCHARLOTTE MILLER\nCharlotte Miller is a Brooklyn-based playwright. Her plays include Raising Jo (Playpenn 2010)\, Fur (Longstocking Productions)\, A Moment of Silence for the Living (Longstocking Productions)\, and Sexy JayJay (serials@the Flea). Her plays have received readings at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater and Labyrinth Theater company. She has performed with Nicholas Gorham multiple times in and around the city as a back-up dancer\, word-sayer\, and costume-changer. Charlotte’s newest work “Worst Year Ever” is part of this year’s New York International Fringe Festival. The piece looks at the difficulties of being a Texas preteen in the grunge era.

SUMMARY:Launch Party for Pinups NO17
DESCRIPTION:After a year-long hiatus\, Pinups is back with a new issue that disrupts the book’s inherent narrative. As always\, the magazine can be unbound and re-assembled to form a large poster from pages of abstract halftone but as a book\, this issue is more complex than its predecessors. In contrast to the halftone pages\, which are only fragments of the poster\, other pages contain parts of numerous images scattered randomly across the pagination. As single pages share bits and pieces of multiple images\, the connections can only be imagined until the poster is assembled and the full images revealed on the poster’s flipside. Pinups No17 features performance artist Jake Dibeler clad with performance props. \n \n  \n  \n  \n
