OBJECTify - Opening Night - April 12

Did I mention I’m throwing a party? You’re invited. So are your friends. The hot ones, I mean. Keep an eye on www.OBJECTifynyc.com for details and lineup. (It’s pretty bare now, but check back for event info and images in the coming days and weeks.) Add us on myspace for fresh, quivering updates. Think of fascinating things you can do to yourself and others with an eggbeater. Oh yes yes yes.

Once upon a time, New York nightlife was a bubbling cauldron of creativity. Disparate members of assorted underworlds mingled behind unmarked doors where entire genres were inspired and spawned. We long for a resurgence of stimulating nightlife. OBJECTify is the answer.

OBJECTify seeks to unite the many tribes: gay, straight and bi; male, female and trans; costumers, anachronists and crossdressers; the kinky and the queer; the polyamorous and the swingers; sadists, masochists and fetishists; fairies and fashionistas; freaks, geeks and hippies; hipsters, wishters and wannabes. And in addition, provide an environment where even the most “vanilla” of adventurers can feel safe to explore, experiment and experience.

Embracing the Dadaist anti-aesthetic, each month OBJECTify will obsess about one particular OBJECT. Also influenced by Burning Man and its “no spectators” ethos, OBJECTify encourages guests to partYcipate. Reduced admission is available for everyone dressed to reflect, reject or otherwise demonstrate a grasp of the evening’s goal of interactivity. Free admission is offered for revelers who bring sculpture or other 3D artwork, painting or other 2D artwork, a DVD of electronic visuals or those interested in taking the stage for an installation, interactive or similar piece of performance art. And a cash prize will awarded for the most inspired interpretation of the chosen OBJECT…all with the aspiration of having every attendee contribute to the evening’s collective outcome in some way.

Co-conspirators Editrix Abby, The Baroness, Xris SMack! and Irene Kaoru have conceived an “open source” format, with different guest producers joining them each month, bringing fresh concepts as well as a discerning new pair of eyes. The guest producer will act as both the evening’s curator and its docent, assisting with displaying the art and choosing the prize recipient. DJs, VJs, performers, go-go installationists, designers and artists in all media are invited to partYcipate in unique, perhaps-as-yet-unthought-of new ways.
