Singer-songwriter and performance artist Justin Bond and New Yorker theater critic Hilton Als curate “Cold Water” at LaMaMa La Galleria, a unique exhibition of works by artists who are also performers rooted in the East Village, downtown, CBGB’s, La MaMa scene.

Think of “Cold Water,” as performers-on-paper. The performers listed are known as just that-performers-but we’d like to showcase them as visual artists, which they are as well. Participating “performers-on-paper” include: Kate Bornstein, Theo Kogan, Caden Manson, Thurston Moore, Jemma Nelson, Lady Rizo, Tilda Swinton, Chris Tanner, Leslie Thornton, Darryl Turner and Rufus Wainwright.

“Cold Water” is a part of Performa 09’s Lust Weekend. The Lust Weekend will take place at various locations in the Lower East Side November 7th and 8th, and will consist of an amazing program of exhibitions, performances, actions and events.
