BOMB Magazine Presents: BOMB-aoke! @ Bowery Poetry Club

May 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Join the editors of BOMB Magazine for the much-anticipated return of live BOMB-aoke!  Help re-enact classic interviews from BOMB’s 28 years in a karaoke-style format. Act out Jonathan Safran Foer interviewing Jeffrey Eugenides (BOMB #81), or Willem Defoe by Frances McDormand (BOMB #55). The best performance wins a free vintage issue of BOMB worth lots of dough! Special guest poet & videomaker Brandon Downing shows projections of new video works that combine homophonic translation, cultural inadequacy, smoking jive tunes and curatorial practice with the cloying and destroying energy of FLARF, incurring joy, curiosity and a degree of fear!

Brandon Downing is a videomaker, visual artist, and writer originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. He now lives in New York City, where he works as an exhibit designer and writer. An online gallery of much of his recent photographic work can be seen at www.brandondowning.org. A feature-length DVD collection of recent video works, DARK BRANDON // ETERNAL CLASSICS, was released in 2007, and a monograph of his literary collages, LAKE ANTIQUITY, will be published by Fence in 2009.
