QUOTE
This event will also feature longtime Chicago way-out unit ONO,
recently resurrected in what is now their nearly 30-year career,
whose work –verifiable through early 80s releases and numerous
performances archived on the internet— keeps re-setting the bar
for total mind-bending performative fuckery.

High Sheriff, he told the deputy, he says, "Go out and bring me Lazarus. Bring him dead or alive,
Wo, Lawdy, bring him dead or alive." Oh, the deputy begin to wonder, where in the world he could
find him… "Well I don't know, Wo, Lawdy, I just don't know." Oh, they found poor Lazarus
way out between two mountains… And they blowed him down, Lawd, Lawd, and they blowed him
down. Old Lazarus told the deputy he had never been arrested… By no one man, Wo, Lawdy,
by no one man. So they shot poor Lazarus, shot him with a great big number… Number forty-five,
Wo, Lawdy, number forty-five. And they taken poor Lazarus and they laid him on the commissary
counter… and they walked away, Wo, Lawdy, and they walked away. Lazarus told the deputy,
"Please gimme a cool drink of water… Just before I die, Wo, Lawdy, just before I die."

Lazarus' mother, she laid down her sewing… She begin to cry, Wo, Lawdy, she begin to cry.
Lazarus' mother, she come a-screaming and a-crying… "That's my only son, Wo, Lawdy, that's
my only son." Lazarus' father, he sure was hard-hearted… Didn't say a word, Wo, Lawdy,

WEEDS/travis (1995-1996)
Every time I   
See you naked I    
Offer my death bed but    
You won't take it
Strange, my flower bed cannot hold you.
In my prime I      
Tried to burn away my    
Winter weeds but I
Breed and then I decay
Strange, my flower bed cannot hold you.
Strange, some ghostly deed exposed my fangs
And all my lilies turn to seed
Strange, my flower bed cannot hold you.

                       ^^^GROIN VAULT=A groin vault … is produced by the intersection at right angles
                        of two barrel vaults. The word groin refers to the edge between the intersecting
                        vaults…. Sometimes the arches of groin vaults are pointed instead of round ….
                        In comparison with a barrel vault, a groin vault provides good economies of
                        material and labour. The thrust is concentrated along the groins or arrises
                        (the four diagonal edges formed along the points where the barrel vaults intersect),
                        so the vault need only be abutted at its four corners. =Wikipedia
                        ^^^MAY DAY!=m'aidez, meaning "(you) come help me".
                        It is used to signal a life-threatening emergency

             CONDUCTOR strikes bells or gong to signal commencement.
             HELENA Enters SHRIEKING!! in Greek;
SLOWLY! bypasses stage,
             headed for the front door.
             She is pursued by two suitors:
                 1. LITTLE DRUMMER BOY (LDB), SHAKING SHEET METAL, and
                 2. NARRATOR.  Both ENTER behind HELENA.
             NARRATOR stops at microphone and SPEAKS CLEARLY:
                          NARRATOR: "...  In the land of [OZ], queen-sized, amplified,
                          trash disposals echo the [Empty Stage] of our dreams
                          and aspirations."
 
                           "What will you do this morning?"

                           "What will you do this morning?" [phrase REPEATED regularly]
             Meanwhile,
Little Drummer Boy accompanies Helena's Greek TIRADE
             
with [SHEET METAL] occasionally reciting:
             "Que voulez vous faire ce matin"/
             
"Que voulez vous faire ce matin"/
             "Lundi=  Mardi=  Mercredi=  Jeudi= 
Vendredi=  Samedi=  Dimanche="
             "Que voulez vous faire ce matin"/
"Que voulez vous faire ce matin"/
             ... Helena stops at the front door where her LIGHTED LITTER awaits.
             CONDUCTOR RINGS A BELL OR [Harmonium?] signals Helena's
             
return to the heavens upon her litter [playing Harmonium 2?]
                  Throughout the room (HEAVEN/OZ):
             [8 symbols of death and transfiguration]. Upon her litter,
             the Goddess growls Greek genuflections to [Albino] or [AHA]
             [Harmoniums] hover overhead. Illuminati.
             Ceremonials.
             [Maria] emerges in the arms of [The Little Drummer Boy].
             She knows "The Rejection and The Loneliness!" He does not.
             He moans [I Wonder Why/(concept: N. Rodgers/B.Edwards]:
             good times these are the best times leave your woe behind
             these are my good times i wonder why i wonder why the clock
             keeps turning i wonder why hesitate let's cut a rug jive jitterbug

Mayor Daley's Salute to LGBT Veterans

            Salute to LGBT Veterans  
          The City of Chicago’s annual Salute to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Veterans,
          “With Liberty and Justice for All,”
will be at 12 noon on Wednesday, August 5 in Daley Plaza
           at Washington and Dearborn streets. The program will last one hour.

          The salute is hosted by the Chicago Commission on Human Relations’ Advisory Councils on
           Veterans Affairs (ACVA) and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues (ACLGBTI)
           and the Chicago chapter of the American Veterans for Equal Rights (AVER).

          “The American Veterans for Equal Rights has been working for the recognition of Chicago’s
           LGBT veterans for many years,” said Jim Darby, President of the Chicago chapter of AVER
           and Secretary of ACVA. “Thanks to the efforts of Dana Starks, Chairman and Commissioner
           of the Chicago Commission on Human Relations, Will Schmutz, Director of ACVA, and
           Bill Greaves
, Director of ACLGBTI, this seventh annual salute will be held on August 5.”

          Mayor Richard M. Daley will issue a proclamation in support of the Salute.

          U.S. Representative Mike Quigley has been invited to speak. Congressman Quigley recently
          issued a statement calling for an end to the U.S. military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.

          Quigley will be joined on stage by a number of LGBT veterans and elected officials.  

          We thank all Chicagoland veterans for continuing to support their country.

          This Salute is an historic event in the LGBT veterans’ movement. We hope that everyone will
           turn out in force to support this event:

  Prairie Avenue Gallery hosts ‘Pride’ show

          CHICAGO —  Chicago’s Prairie Avenue Gallery will host a Pride Show in honor of
           gay pride month in Chicago. The opening reception will be Sunday, June 7,
           noon-4 p.m., with food, music and mingling with the artists. The gallery is housed
           in the Prairie Avenue Historic District, in the Keith House, one of the few remaining
           historic homes along Prairie Avenue. The building, located at 1900 S. Prairie Avenue,
           is also the former home of Woman Made Gallery.

          The Prairie Avenue Gallery was founded in the mid-1980s by Joy Darrow, a photojournalist
           who was a managing editor of the Chicago Defender. Darrow died in 1996, and her
           daughters, Marcy and Tracy Baim, re-opened the gallery in May of this year with a show
           featuring freshmen students at the School of the Art Institute.

           The Prairie Avenue Gallery was known for ground-breaking shows, including what is
           believed the first AIDS art show in the mid 1980s, a showcase of Black photojournalists,
           and shows featuring emerging Chicago photographers, sculptors and painters.

           The new Prairie Avenue Gallery will have weekend hours. During the week the gallery
           will offer classes and studio space for photographers and artists.

           Artists in the Pride Show are: Photographers Rick Aguilar, Steve Becker, Renee Brown,
           Kat Fitzgerald, Lisa Howe-Ebright and Betty Lark Ross. The painters and illustrators are
           Jorjet Harper, Juarez Hawkins, Carol James, David Johnson, Andrea Kaspryk, Mary King,
           Riva Lehrer, Otis Richardson, Erik R.Sosa and Travis. Carmen Noriega will display her
           stained glass works.

           The Pride Show is in honor of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Pride Month and
           will be up through June and July.  The hours are: Sunday, June 7, Noon-4 p.m. opening;
           Sat., June 13, noon-3 p.m.; Sat., June 20, noon-3 p.m.; Sunday, June 21, noon-3 p.m.;
           Closed pride weekend (June 27-28); and open every Saturday and Sunday in July, noon-3 p.m.
           Call 312-907-7909 for hours by appointment.

///^^^09APR09Hey Travis,     I got your bio email a late and I was told by my organization's co-chair to stop accepting artists if they had not sent one in.
                    We stopped because she (without my knowledge) contacted and accepted more artists than we could fit at the Smart Museum.     I really want to apologize
                     for this, it was very much our fault for not being more organized and failing to communicating with each other as an organization. I  also think our organization
                     should have created deadlines to avoid confusion.     The Smart doesn't have the event on their website because it is a student-run event, not their event, and
                     we did not make arrangements for them to do so.      Again, I apologize for the confusion and for the fact that my peers and I were so disorganized. We really
                     would have liked to display your work, so I hope this doesn't ruin the possibility of collaborating with you for our future art events.     Sincerely,  ARTEPOPULAR
                     ///^^^09APR09To ARTEPOPULAR:     It is 9AM on Thursday, 09APR09.     I have seen NO installation information, nothing at all!, regarding TODAY's art

                     County Mississippi 23SEP46.     My work springs from a performative approach to race, gendered space and colonial objectification.     My current art work is
                     based in Calligraphy, Drawing, Painting, Sound, Design, and Live Art/Performance Art.  I work with the band ONO to overlay each of these disciplines and to
                     produce sonic experimentation often classified as traditional Mississippi gospel.  My sound environments represent ethnographic industrial experimentation
                     disciplined by Noise itself.     Visual Noise also transmits a political statement.  All art is political.     Please visit my BIO:

Hello Travis,     We would love to have your work displayed! Yes, here's more info about the
                     event:     Arte Popular is a one-night exhibition on April 9, 2009 (exact time TBA). It will take place at the University of Chicago's Smart Museum and is hosted by
                     the student-run organization, MEChA.  Arte Popular is part of a week long celebration of the lives and work of Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez, but mostly meant
                    to address current social and political problems in the US, including those of labor, education, poverty, and immigrants rights. Arte Popular is meant celebrate artists
                    who incorporate cultural, political or social issues in their work.     I think we are asking for two paintings from each artist, who contacts us. I will let you know as
                    soon as I get a word, but what are the dimensions of the work you were hoping to submit?     Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks,
                     ///^^^12MAR09Dear ARTEPOPULAR:  I am interested.      How many pieces may be submitted?     What limits on dimensions?     Is this a one-night-only exhibition?

                    FEEDBACK From ONO @ ENEMY Performance: /27FEB09                      

                    SEE:   http://bloodlust.blogspot.com/
                    "ONO was up next and what a show they put on! Early industrial meets minimal synth
                          meets almost surfed-out coldwave guitars meets true Chicago outsider weirdness.
                          Travis remains the ultimate frontman, not that there was any doubt in that department.
                          Expanded to a four-piece, sans Ric Graham, but with a new guitarist [Jesse Thomas]
                          and a new keyboardist [Rebecca Pavlatos], the band has a fuller sound than I recall
                          from the 1980s.
                          And they rocked the room... heads were bobbing, people were smiling.
                          Excellent! I am looking forward to more. Someday, "Ennui" will be mine... "

                    FEEDBACK From ONO @ Chicago's NO WAVE FESTIVAL/06DEC08
                    SEE:                 http://www.punkvinyl.com/?s=ono&x=0&y=0              [Great PICTURES]
                         ONO
                         Bad weather and the general obscure nature of this show resulted in a pretty thin crowd
                         which was a bummer because I thought for sure more “old-timers” from the Chicago
                         punk scene would come out for the show. The selfish photographer side of me liked all the
                         space to move around in though. I was setting up my camera gear when I heard the
                         sound of sheet metal being hit and turned around to see the members of ONO filing in and
                         heading toward the stage. They got on stage, put down the sheet metal and spent about a
                         half hour playing some very interesting early-industrial/avant garde music.
                         It was at times aggressive and in your face, and other times more ambient.
                         Their singer/main gadget manipulator was a very charismatic front man and seeing
                         this set has inspired me to go revisit their record which I own but haven’t touched in
                         probably at least ten years! Having this opportunity to see an old band that
                         I missed in my youth was a real treat for me.
