*************************************************************************
*****WHAT IS THE FESTIVAL ABOUT?**************************************
*************************************************************************
MOBILIZATION is honored to bring the festival to this location:
friendly,
casual, intelligent, open minded and Flame Resistant!
How to Destroy the Universe is a curetted extreme music/art/performance
festival series dedicated to presenting fiercely individual and
independent
artists to the community. The festival is roughly grounded in the "post
punk" tradition, but is open to any new and innovative ideas. The
festivals
are inherently community based, focused on promoting and supporting a
cruelly
alternative arts culture both locally and globally.
Destroy-Part 2 takes place on Hiroshima day, book-ending the first
festival
last DEC 7, 2004 (Pearl Harbor Day) at Studioz in San Francisco.
Inspired by
the historic date, the performers and artists have been picked with
perhaps
a
darker or more somber slant, while all still being quite explosive and
transgressive in their own individual way. The festival is organized by
members of the bay area pyro post-punk group F-SPACE (members of
SAVAGE REPUBLIC and CHROME, and noise artist SCOT JENERIK), who combine
homemade
incendiary percussion instruments with hypnotic alternately tuned
guitars
and runaway locomotive drums. F-SPACE takes their name from the art
space
Los Angeles artist Chris Burden and friends used to present their
extreme
physical artwork that was banned at any other galleries, and it is this
tradition that inspires the How to Destroy the Universe Festival.
The Shipyard's outdoor location for this festival is compatible with
large
scale fire art and sculptures. Bay area artist Kiki will bring her 3
story
water fountain EGERIA to the space, configuring it to weep tears of
fire
during the F-SPACE performance. Indra Lowenstein from "Collapsing
Silence"
will be accompanying F-SPACE on Friday at this performance with a
special
Butoh style dance dedicated to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.JIM MASON
(manager of
the shipyard and known at Burningman for his fire canons that spew 100+
foot
columns of burning diesel fuel) has volunteered to create a massive
John
Cage inspired 2 ton ice sculpture with encased pebbles melting onto
amplified bamboo mats.
This festival is also highlighting many bands and artists with women in
nontraditional roles, such as bands like "BLACK ICE", "THE SIXTEENS"
and
"BINKY" with women taking dominant and aggressive roles that are
traditionally identified in a more masculine way. We also feature
extreme
video artists who transgress traditional societal views of gender and
orientation, such as RON ATHEY and SHAYE SAINT JOHN.
Berlin performance artists THE INDRA and DEEDEE LUX use subtle sarcasm
and
extreme elaborate costumes to emphasize and critique female roles and
sexual
assumptions.
THE AESTHETIC MEAT FRONT close out the festival with a bang through
their
public
"Deprogramming ritual" aimed at transforming themselves and the
audience to
an alternate state of reality beyond our commercially controlled
corporate
universe.
