    Glitterama! at Creative Alliance
    POSTED May 21, 12:37 PM

    Sat May 24 ~TWO SHOWS!~ Baltimore's neo-bulesque-vaudeville-funhouse scene blows up at The Patterson- sparking with spunk, verve and a wee bit of titillation. Greggy Glitterati hosts Glitterama, this full tilt Cavalcade o'Variety. Burlesque gems include: Sugar Ann Spice; An Amish Awakening by Shortstaxx; The Three Splooges; and Lil' Dutch and Gary Gutter. Dawn Swartz collaborates with girl band The Degenerettes on a puppet-punk ode to ZZTop. Torchsinger Alisa Grundmann sings Weill; Cupcache sings about sugar; Mason Ross does awkward standup. Jehnna is a 21st century bellydancer; Noelle Powers is hula hooptastic; Mara Neimanis is an existential clown (scary!); and DJ Tyler Quinn vibrates your permalistic sightations. Oh yes, and don't forget Greggy's co-host Botoxa Woopsinflova, the plastic surgery disaster puppet! 2 SHOWS! 7 & 10pm. $12, $10 mbrs.

    Don't ever let the advertisement for 'heavy hors d'oeuvres' fool ya. Art shows should just have booze, not food!

    Photos from the Opening of Convergedetail from Penny Forester's viewing machinesConverge, the current exhibition at Maryland Art Place, showcases the recent work of regional MFA graduates. The pieces are, for the most part, conceptual and apparently arranged within the gallery by similarity of media (wood with wood, white with white) and a somewhat contradictory "mix it up" sort of feel.Personally, I would have totally rearranged this show. The front room suffers the most by the disjointedness of the "left-overs," (none of which are white or wood) which include graphite drawings, an interactive sculpture and a too-small-for-its-space installation of photographs, their assorted props and chocolate cameos. While I took close-up images of this installation to highlight its more interesting details, the MD Art Place website has a view of the entire installation, looking teeny in it's corner.Andrew Buckland's untitled photographThe staccato effect of pairing wooden structures with photography and hiding a large painting in the rear of the gallery behind a large sculpture makes the exhibit hard to get comfortable in. The viewing experience is a bit laborious, continually engaging and disengaging with these very separate ideas.Joshua Gillen's maquetsJoshua Gillen's larger sculpture in front of Lauren Boilini's "Savage Love"detail from Aniko Makranczy's "Memeno Mori"Mahwish Chishty's video projection of stop motion embroidery, I thinkRuth Bowler's hydrocal and wood piecedetails from Ellen Harper's "From History Lessons Project"Is it weird that I want the design to be on her back?Justin Storms' beautiful whale drawingsI would have loved to see Christian Benefiel's interactive piece (above) placed in the back room of the gallery, alongside Penny Forester's interactive viewing machines, and Ellen Harper's softer installations paired with the delicate paper piece by Aniko Makranczy and the middle room pieces. Also, black and white photo next to black and white drawing...why not? In the front room with Lauren Boilini's large painting? Yes!
