Oh hi I am excited to be a part of the Club 57 Black and White Ball tonight (SOLD OUT tho):
https://www.thebroad.org/events/club-57-society-black-and-white-ball
”In conjunction with the special exhibition, Keith Haring: Art Is for Everybody, The Broad is teaming up with iconic denizen of the 1980s East Village art scene Ann Magnuson to revisit and celebrate the spirit and energy of the infamous Club 57, where she met and befriended Keith Haring while managing the club. Club 57 Society: Black and White Ball is inspired by events that took place at the original Club 57 including some of Haring’s earliest performances and exhibitions, as well as themed nights such as Twisting in High Society, Stayfree Mini-Prom, and The Ladies Auxiliary Debutante Ball. Our rousing and raucous homage features performances by and tributes to now-legendary artists who were part of the original Club 57 and knew Haring personally, as well as subsequent generations of artists that offer new examples of the grit, glitter, and experimentation that proliferated in this seminal venue.”
Then I am off to Vancouver for this (see flier):

ROBERT DAYTON (AND THE BEACH BOYS)
WITH SPECIAL GUEST: THE CANADIAN ROMANTIC
Libby Leshgold Gallery
July 22, 2 pm
For Robert Dayton's performance with The Beach Boys, he will be utilizing his entire being while accompanied by The Beach Boys Stack-o-Tracks LP, an instrumental album consisting of backing tracks to many of The Beach Boys' songs.
The Canadian Romantic is a character created by Robert, a melodramatic figure of faded glamour who tries to bridge and explore the gap between Canada and romance with somewhat dubious results. So far he exists through live performance (having performed across Canada and the U.S.A.), a series of videos, an album with music by Marker Starling (unreleased), a lenticular winking photo, a doll, and an art book (Publication Studio Vancouver, 2013).
Also I have a piece in the Doing and Doing Group show at 560 Gallery in Vancouver, info here, so many great artists in this!:
