\nOur invisiblepal Leejone Wong<\/a> has collected all the pieces, hunkered down and completed the re-animation process of her amazing Show & Tell<\/a> sessions…and they are back, and badder than ever.
\nMoving on from the fabled 184 Kent in Williamsburg, Leejone has moved Show & Tell to the super-cool Monkeytown<\/a>. This is a very cool performance space, in the back of a great restaurant…Truly a cozy and intimate place to hear about people’s cool projects. For your modest $10 ticket, you get a delicious appetizer to munch on and a free drink to enjoy while taking in some fascinating creative people share their work and stories (make sure to call ahead and book a reservation).
\nLeejone has been running Show & Tell’s for quite some time now, and they are fascinating, fun and inspiring sessions you won’t soon forget. Read on to see this week’s line-up…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1) THE FOUR SHOPPING CARTS OF THE APOCALYPSE
\nTaking the current controversy over the role of American evangelicals
\nas a starting point, I’ll perform an illustrated essay about
\nevangelical portrayals of Jews, when evangelicals drag as Jews, why
\nevangelicals think they make the best Jews, and what theme parks and
\nevangelical performances can teach us about the fetishization of
\nJerusalem and Israel.
\n
\n2) THE FIRST DISAPPOINTMENT
\nSome Melodies Regarding Blood Moons, Telegraphy, Rapture, Revolt, and
\nRevival, as well as Comets, Meteor Showers, the Aurora Borealis, the
\nBurnt Over District, and the Great Disappointment was performed by an
\neight-vehicle orchestra on the 28th of July. At Show and Tell Mary and
\nDanyel will have a multimedia presentation about this performance. A
\nsuite of songs was composed by various musicians including participants of the Bang On a Can Music Institute. Vocal and instrumental components are played separately through individual car stereos, collectively creating a complete song within the circle.
\n
\n3) Emiko Kashara will present SHEER, an ongoing participatory sound
\nand sculpture installation exploring stories of loss from people
\naround the world in the context of completed works. In Japan, Emiko is
\nwidely exhibited and was known for her sculpture and later for a
\nvariety of media such as video installation and performance work.
\nSince moving to New York, she has exhibited all over the world, most
\nrecently at the Sydney Biennale,and at the Volkskundermuseum graz,
\nAustria.
\n
\n4) 15 FEET OF MAYONNAISE: ABOUT NEWTOWN CREEK
\nKate Zidar, a member of Newtown Creek Alliance, will present a slide
\nshow about a bike tour she and Brendan FitzGerald did circumnavigating
\nthe creek. She will discuss recent developments on the creek and the
\nsordid past of one of the country’s most polluted waterways. Kate
\nZidar is Program Director of Environmental Education at the Lower East
\nSide Ecology Center. Kate has worked previously as an Assistant
\nPlanner with the Planning Center at Municipal Art Society and as a
\nconsultant for NYC Housing Authority’s Greening and Gardening Program.
\nShe is active with many community-based organizations such as Newtown
\nCreek Alliance, Water Resources Group and the East River Network. She
\nis a Master Composter and an active member of Green Dome Community
\nGarden in Brooklyn..<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nLeejone also has a very cool project underway at unfinishedproject.com<\/a>. Leejone describes it a bit here:<\/p>\n

Many of you have courageously and ceaselessly forged ahead despite a few of those projects that got left to the wayside, crashed and burned into bits of stinky poo – or simply never ended. I’ve come to hope and believe, as may you, that an unfinished project can be a blessing – a nonsensical path to a larger, invisible work-in-progress. Or – some of us just need to be told that there\u2019s no shame in letting it go, man…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
