I always wanted to post something like a tribute to The Cockettes, a great performance group from the sixties here, but I must admit that I don’t really know enough about them to act like an expert. For this reason it’s pleasing that my colleague produzentin who seems to be a huge fan of the group yesterday posted a self-written article that gives a short overview on the 2 and a half years they worked together.
The Love Art Laboratory is a project by artist couple Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth M. Stephens, who symbolically “marry” once a year to celebrate their love. The wedding ceremony always is a colorful and wild performance show as far as I can tell from the videos and pictures on the site. It’s worth having a look at.
I would like to make some advertisement for a German magazine called “Hugs and Kisses” which releases its fifth issue these days. The main topic of the current issue is “Queer Cinema”, click here for the table of contents. I contributed the first part of an internet column I’ll write for them regularly now. So all you German-speaking people out there: Check it out.
There's a documentary on the Cockettes that is really good: http://grandelusion.com/
