The Chelsea Art Museum presents Michael Alan's Draw-A-Thon Theater & Exhibition
Friday, June 19, 2009 - New York, NY - Calling all artists and open minded viewers to a five hour long, monumental and ground breaking experience! From 7pm-12am, the Chelsea Art Museum's main floor will be filled with performers, costumes, theater and tons of empty space for new work to be created by hundreds of artists. All artists are summoned to make art in the museum: all mediums and styles. Come be one, come make history for the first show in a museum where hundreds of artists gather and make work inspired by theater.
The performance - 'The Factory'- a 5 hour long satire with 2o or more performers. They will build an environment under slave, sweatshop management inside the museum. The factory is controlled by paint splattered floor managers along with Michael Alan's mother, who will dictate and choreograph a repetitious and senseless building of sculptures, costumes, boxes and paper piles: the assembly line of the robotic art slaves.
Live punk, experimental, folk and classic rock and roll will be playing live from a truck that will be driven into the building. This revolutionary performance will be open to all artists to come and interpret through any creative process. The space will be cleared out and taken over by hundreds of artists making new work in the Chelsea Art museum.
This event will be accompanied by the music of Epileptic Peat: an 8-string bass playing wonder, The Bones of Davey Jones: a one man army of folk and bluegrass, House of Waters: a trio emitting the sounds of folk and afro-beat, plus many more to come...
The Chelsea Art Museum is located at 556 W 22nd St in Manhattan
Tickets are $20
