SUMMARY:Queer Silences
DESCRIPTION:Given that it’s that back-to-school time of year\, the Bureau would like to host some classes. These might take the form of a single evening or perhaps two or three sessions. Please send us proposals at contact@bgsqd.com. \nTo get the ball rolling\, Greg Newton\, the Bureau’s Minister of Propaganda\, will offer a class that will meet once with the option to continue indefinitely. The class\, Queer Silences\, will explore the subject of silence from queer perspectives. The first and possibly only class will take place on Wednesday\, September 18th\, from 7 to 9. In advance of the class\, participants will read Jonathan D. Katz’s essay “John Cage’s Queer Silence: Or How to Avoid Making Matter’s Worse” and Caroline A. Jones’s “Finishing School: John Cage and the Abstract Expressionist Ego.” Greg will send PDFs of the essays to all who RSVP to contact@bgsqd.com.

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. He lives in Providence and Brooklyn with his partner. \n  \n
