Friday, February 18th, 8pm: "Homecoming" - Performances- "Garage Sale II"

An evening of 2 short historic videos, accompanied by work of contemporary artists.

Bruce Yonemoto, Homecoming, 1975, video 29 minutes
Homecoming documents the 1975 Homecoming Queen election at Santa Monica City Collage, where Yonemoto was teaching at the time. The documentary focuses on the campaign of Goldie Glitters, and their reception by the school. Goldie was a queer artist, and former member of the San Franciscan gender bending theater group the Cockets. When asked why they were running, Goldie said they were “trying to raise the consciousness of everybody.”

Bruce and Norman Yonemoto, Garage Sale II, 1980, video, 31 min
Featuring Fred Hasted, Branda Miller, Robbie Morel, Jerry Dreva, Mike Kelly, Tony Oursler, Joe Potts, and Camille O’Grady, Garage Sale II moves between a couple’s sexually dysfunctional relationship and a series of vignettes in which characters attempt to fulfil their desires through prosthetics, masturbation, manipulation and S&M.

The work of several younger queer artists will accompany this evening including performances by Kim Ye, Page Person, & Xina Xurner, a bathroom installation by Badly Licked Bear, and photographs by Mark McKnight.
