The New Orleans Museum of Art kicks off its 2010 Contemporary exhibition January 29 through May 2 with New Orleans artists Quintron and Miss Pussycat. Parallel Universe: Quintron and Miss Pussycat Live at City Park is designed to get audiences acquainted with the artists’ past work while exposing their new work.
The Trunk Space offers Phoenix an alternative to “diets of TV, commercial radio, and mall fashion.”
This space was originally an art gallery, but its owners’ desire to promote avant-garde and non-commercial forms of expression led them to booking bands and hosting films, improv nights, circus sideshows, burlesque performances…basically, the antithesis of the mainstream culture diet.
The venue also has a full espresso bar, which makes all the experimental activity even more delicious.
Released on Memphis-based Goner Records, Too Thirsty 4 Love is the latest from New Orleans mad scientist, underground icon, and organ aficionado Quintron. One look at the cover gives the would-be listener some indication of what they’re in for: Quintron, dressed like a thrift-store game show host, relaxing in bed with a remarkable lady, both wearing plastic fangs, entwined in an enormous snake and enjoying a novelty ice cream drink.
