Pansy Twist: An Incomplete Survey/Mixtape of American Riot Boi Art

Pansy Twist: An Incomplete Survey/Mixtape of American Riot Boi Art is a decidedly un-essential collective convo instigated by Seth Bogart, Jeffrey Cheung, and Brontez Purnell; all three art makers representing both successive and simultaneous waves of Post-Punk, Post Riot Grrrl, Post-Queercore, Post-Pop, and Post Post Post Post Post Post Post Modern Art movements.

All starting as musicians in the fertile and majestic Bay Area queer scene – this art show positions itself as an unwilling movement that is set to explore questions of (but not limited to): the impact of the feminist gaze in queer male art, the inextricable link between music and visual art, the recalibration and transmogrification of d.i.y. (do it yourself) reality into d.i.t. (DO IT TOGETHER) reality, the simultaneous exalting, examination, and (hopeful) annihilation of what constitutes the “boy genius”, scene pageantry, and the inherent superiority of queer alternative art. The night will include ceramics, paintings, film install, a filmed happening, convo, and marijuana smoking outside.
