Tickets $0-$25, pay what you can.

Join us Saturday, May 10 for a double feature of new performance works by geo blake and Kerosene Jones presented at CPR – Center for Performance Research, for the artists’ MFA thesis projects in the Performance and Interactive Media Arts (PIMA) Program at Brooklyn College. Proceeds go to Bluestockings Cooperative, who will be providing Fentanyl and Xylazine testing strips on-site to attendees.

Through an interplay of live performance and mediated fragments, Under the Hood: Fiducial Romance, by geo blake featuring Alanna Archibald, examines the intimacy embedded in economies of care, trust, and extraction. Merging movement, voice, transducers, and projected imagery, and drawing from the iconography of the automobile as both a site of fetishization and labor, Under the Hood engages with themes of objectification, autonomy, and the blurred lines between maintenance and possession.

Blue Lightning Ghost Train: Inpatient Program 1 by Kerosene Jones is the first phase of an experimental song, video, and performance cycle using archival materials to explore queer responses to harm reduction, particularly in regards to the ongoing opioid crisis, and drawing from Jones’s personal experiences with opioid addiction. The development of the Blue Lightning Ghost Train series has received support from New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA), and a CUNY Social Practice Fellowship, and features mix engineering by Bassel Al-Rahim.
