Bride Fight developed from a series of E.V. Days installations called “Exploding Couture,” begun in 1999, in which she suspends women’s dresses in space. Each dress portrays a view of a conventional feminine stereotype in a dramatic stop-action explosion. The “explosions” are constructed to feel as if the internal forces of the figure are so powerful that the garment literally blows off, as if it is outgrowing its stereotype. Ecstasy, strength, humor and release are emotions Day associates with the expression of these sculptures.

E.V. Day had a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum at Altria in 2001, where she installed G-Force, a work in which she suspended hundreds of thongs from the ceiling in fighter jet formations. Day had a ten-year survey exhibition last year at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University for which a color catalogue was produced. E.V. Day’s exhibition Intergalactic Installations will appear at the Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum From April 22 – June 18, 2006.

Don't front. You know you loved the first season of Real World. Well, l'il Kev is all grown up and he's running for a seat in Congress in the 10th Congressional District (Brooklyn). This isn't a fundraiser, but his candidacy will probably be a theme throughout the night. Djs include Reborn (Ubiquita NYC,) Miss Saigon, Misbehaviour & Lalo. It's also sponsored in part by ESQUIRE Magazine and SOCIALSTEP.COM, so you might wanna dress nice for this one. He's running on a fairly enlightened platform, so go out, get your drink on and support some progressive politics. He definitely has an uphill battle.

Matmos is M. C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel. In their recordings and live performances over the last nine years, Matmos has gained an international reputation for combining cinematic ambience, abrasive techno, polyrhythmic programming, and textures sampled from a wide range of musical influences and nonmusical sound sources. Some of their wildest sounds have included amplified crayfish nerve tissue, contact microphones on human hair, field recordings of conversations in hot tubs, frequency response tests for defective hearing aids, and the sound of a frozen stream thawing in the sun. Their composition L.A.S.I.K., based on the sounds of laser eye surgery, was featured in the Whitney Museum of American Art's 2001 digital art exhibition BitStreams. Matmos recently completed a tour with Bjork, and their latest project, The Rose Has Teeth in the Mouth of a Beast, is scheduled for release by Matador in April 2006
