Going to an art / performance thing at a local gallery. Here's the blurb:
"Curators Wendy Babcox and Ryan Berg bring their respective projects Slapdown! and Chariot to the main room for a double-billed opening night of spectacle, costume, Rock n Roll and women wrestlers. A one night only opening reception and performance of both the costumed glam rock cover band Chariot as well as the rabble rousing wrestling women of Slapdown! is the heart of this show and is not to be missed. The remainder of this month long exhibition will focus on the documentation of the performance itself as well as it’s remnants, touching ideas of natural and unnatural history, alter egos and their biography, and the relationship between art, performance, and the fuzzy spaces in between. Tattered and recreated costumes, photographic portraits of the performers, and the inevitable yet carefully produced event-related merchandise will fill the gallery, as well as large scale multimedia documentation of the show itself.
