Last summer Brooklyn artist Jennilie Brewster finished a series of
64 16” x 20” paintings called “The Newspaper Series” using
photographs from the NY Times as starting points. While at the
Djerrasi Resident Artist Program in California Jennilie met Timothy
Braun, a former Artist-In-Residence at the HERE Arts Center in
Soho. He was inspired to write 64 one page plays. One for each
painting.

The paintings are landscapes, still lifes and abstracts. But also
mindscapes; they are snapshots of the subconscious. The original NY
Times image is in some cases clear and in others transformed,
obliterated. Likewise, the connection between the plays and the
paintings—and from one play to the next—is non-linear. Characters,
images, sounds, themes and ideas shift and reappear as in a dream.
The performances too will bend expectation and perception so that
some are staged theatrically others as; song, poetry, magic act,
video animation, soundscapes and performance art—with the view
toward connecting with the audience and the paintings intuitively.

Surf Reality will be presenting 36 of the plays at the Bowery
Poetry Club on June 11th, 18th and 21st. Many of the corresponding
paintings will be on view there from June 11th-24th. The full
presentation of all 64 plays will premier at the RE/Mixed Media
Festival in Brooklyn in the Fall 2011.

Surf Reality was a prominent downtown performance space on
Manhattan’s LES from 1993-2003. Founded by Robert Prichard the
space was marketed to producers, writers and performing artists as
a place to workshop and develope new work. For more information
about Surf Reality and Robert Prichard go to:
http://www.surfreality.com/about/ Today Surf Reality is an
independent production company dedicated to the downtown
performance vanguard with a long running reoccurring show called
“Radical Vaudeville”. Webster’s online dictionary includes the show
in it’s synopsis on vaudeville today here:

We are pleased and honored that the June performances will also be
featured as part of the Underground HOWL! Festival.

CATHOLIC LEAGUE PRESIDENT DENOUNCES JESSICA DELFINO

jessica

In a December 19th press release published on the Catholic League’s Web site, Catholic League President William Donohue denounced New York City-based musician Jessica Delfino, accusing her of providing �ammunition� to radical Muslims.

�Jessica Delfino is taking her �Merry S�tmas Tour� on the road,� complained Donohue. �Described as �rife with Christmas-themed debauchery,� Delfino worked last night in New York City, appears in Washington, D.C. tomorrow and travels to Durham, North Carolina on Thursday. Her performance includes the showing of an obscenely-titled video banned from YouTube that features her rapping about her vagina, complete with obscene pictures flashing in the background. Rapping about her genitals, she sings, �it will become your true religion.�� He said.

Donohue then went further with his accusation, claiming, �None of this is without malice. And at a time when radical Muslims are accusing Americans of harboring a depraved understanding of liberty, it only provides ammunition to the enemy.�

William Donohue has previously gotten in hot water for some of his remarks, including a December 8, 2004 assertion on Scarborough Country that �Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular. It�s not a secret, okay? And I�m not afraid to say it.� This statement was widely viewed as anti-Semitic.

Jessica Delfino is a critically acclaimed artist who has appeared on Good Morning America and Opie & Anthony, and whose work has been called, �Funny and smart� by Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore in Arthur Magazine and �some of the most nasty, offensive, degrading, and genius comedy you�ll see all year,� by the New York Blade.� Recently, she was named �Best Potty-Mouthed, Guitar-Slinging Comedian of 2005� by the Village Voice. She has received similarly glowing reviews from Jane Magazine, High Times, The Onion, Time Out New York, and numerous other critics.

Ms. Delfino was stunned by Donohue�s accusations. �My act is anti-stupidity, and anti-complacency, not anti-Catholic or anti-Christian, and I have a pretty good feeling that it�s about to be a little bit anti-William Donohue. This is a guy who goes on TV in the middle of the day when kids are watching, and yells at America that �Hollywood likes anal sex.� But now he doesn�t like vaginas either? And the real question is why does William Donohue keep saying things that are anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim? He’s so negative! He is the opposite of everything Christ stood for, and I agree with Jesus.”

Jessica Delfino will be appearing in Radical Vaudeville as a member of the in house sketch comedy group Mo’s Hos the last Tues. of every month at 10PM as well as the first Fri. of every month at midnight at Mo Pitkin’s downstairs, 34 Ave. A BTW 2nd and 3rd St.s NYC. More information about her, including a link to her YouTube-banned video can be found at jessydelfino.blogspot.com.

Jessica Delfino was raised as a Catholic.
