Until recently I had thought I was going to pass on performing at Pride
again this year. Due to lack of concrete information, depressing artist
cancellations, and a fear of not having the energy or stamina to
harness the beast that is the LA Gay Pride Festival. But, with all the
shit the Gay Community has been thrown lately, I've changed my mind! I
have an overwhelming need to voice up, act out, play, party and
celebrate how AWESOME the GAY COMMUNITY is and has been this
frustrating, trying and long year! I contacted the powers that be, and
they seem DELIGHTED to have me and my "crazy friends" back on the
Erotic City Stage again this year! I also hear that it hasn't been
booked with times as of today.. so let's fill up the roster! I'm
looking for 3-4 Bands, some art installation-esque/ sideshow performers
to add ambience either day around Erotic City, and a few more
performers to join myself and a some other crazy performance artists to
perform a number for our Second Annual Freak Show! The freak show will
be on Sunday in the early evening. I would be honored, tickled, stoked and giddy to have YOU on the bill as well! So, if you have some gay to get out on stage, and are free either Saturday, June 13th or Sunday June 14th... Wanna join us? Obviously
time is not on our side, so I need to hear back from you ASAP so I can
get the press/fliers, set times, guest lists, VIP passes and everything
else in line.. so please send me.. What day/days you'd like to perform/ help on. What number you'd like to perform. (brief description/song/etc) How to contact you (number/email). If you have any questions prior to commiting, please lemme know. krystopherson@yahoo.com Love and Big ass Gay Kisses, Krys Fox

Was watching a Patti Smith (whom I LOVED already) doc this morning. It took over ten years to make. It inspired me, reminded me of my youth. and my age. and my time. and of everything old and new. so, i wrote a lil sumthinsumthin inspired by ol' Pats.. i call it PURPOSE. Which is a weird word huh? Looks like Porpoise.. which is an even weirder word to type. I love porpoises, dolphins..all that. Oh! My Sea World year pass is almost over. Gotta go again soon. Okay. Here's my lil poem. Thanks Miss. Smith and to "the inspirators" out there. Kf
PURPOSE
i am here for a purpose. the purpose changes. with gifts that are not mine to keep. a thousand pens and a lense. laughter and thanks money and waste impatience and haste. the purpose changes. pacific rides cut arctic tides. flux the days scales. bigfish tales of surrender. release and savor with every bright flavor the cries of a million paths unspooling a spiral. changing purposes. seashells heavy with the presents of tomorrow. righteous and dirty enlightened and flirty. sick with new and drunk with almost. the twisted alabaster tuck'd just round the corner. blindfolded and ripe. just nature's type. intention contention prized and hidden accidents. painted or masked the back of the back of your back closet deposited past. a purpose past. i am here for a purpose. the purpose changes. 3-16-09 Kfox

 Dada
Dada or Dadaism is a cultural movement that began in neutral Zürich, Switzerland, during World War I and peaked from 1916 to 1920. The movement primarily involved visual arts, literature (mainly poetry), theatre, and graphic design, which concentrated its anti war politic through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art through anti-art cultural works. Overview
Dada activities included public gatherings, demonstrations, and publication of art/literary journals. Passionate coverage of art, politics, and culture filled their publications. The movement was a protest against the barbarism of World War I, the bourgeois interests that Dada adherents believed inspired the war, and what they believed was an oppressive intellectual rigidity in both art and everyday society. The movement influenced later styles, movements, and groups including surrealism, Pop Art and Fluxus. Dada was an international movement, and it is difficult to classify artists as being from any one particular country, as they were constantly moving from one place to another.
What is Dada?
According to its proponents, Dada was not art it was "anti-art". For everything that art stood for, Dada was to represent the opposite. Where art was concerned with aesthetics, Dada ignored aesthetics. If art were to have at least an implicit or latent message, Dada strove to have no meaning interpretation of Dada is dependent entirely on the viewer. If art is to appeal to sensibilities, Dada is to offend. It is perhaps then ironic that Dada became an influential movement in modern art. Dada became a commentary on order and the carnage they believed it wreaked. Through this rejection of traditional culture and aesthetics they hoped to destroy traditional culture and aesthetics.
According to Tristan Tzara, "God and my toothbrush are Dada, and New Yorkers can be Dada too, if they are not already." A reviewer from the American Art News stated that "The Dada philosophy is the sickest, most paralyzing and most destructive thing that has ever originated from the brain of man." Art historians have described Dada as being, in large part, "in reaction to what many of these artists saw as nothing more than an insane spectacle of collective homicide."[1] Years later, Dada artists described the movement as "a phenomenon bursting forth in the midst of the postwar economic and moral crisis, a savior, a monster, which would lay waste to everything in its path. [It was] a systematic work of destruction and demoralization...In the end it became nothing but an act of sacrilege."[1] Dada was "a revolt against a world that was capable of unspeakable horrors."[citation needed] Reason and logic had led people into the horrors of war; the only route to salvation was to reject logic and embrace anarchy and the irrational.
History
Zürich
In 1916, Hugo Ball, Emmy Hennings, Tristan Tzara, Hans Arp, Richard Huelsenbeck, Sophie Täuber; along with others discussed art and put on performances in the Cabaret Voltaire expressing their disgust with the war and the interests that inspired it. By some accounts Dada coalesced on October 6 at the cabaret.
At the first public soiree at the cabaret on July 14, 1916, Ball recited the first manifesto (see text). Tzara, in 1918, wrote a Dada manifesto considered one of the most important of the Dada writings. Other manifestos followed.
Marcel Janco recalled,
We had lost confidence in our culture. Everything had to be demolished. We would begin again after the "tabula rasa". At the Cabaret Voltaire we began by shocking common sense, public opinion, education, institutions, museums, good taste, in short, the whole prevailing order.
A single issue of Cabaret Voltaire was the first publication to come out of the movement.
After the cabaret closed down, activities moved to a new gallery, and Ball left Europe. Tzara began a relentless campaign to spread Dada ideas. He bombarded French and Italian artists and writers with letters, and soon emerged as the Dada leader and master strategist. The Cabaret Voltaire has by now re-opened, and it's still in the same place at the Spiegelgasse 1 in the Niederdorf.
Zürich Dada, with Tzara at the helm, published the art and literature review Dada beginning in July 1917, with five editions from Zürich and the final two from Paris.
When World War I ended in 1918, most of the Zürich Dadaists returned to their home countries, and some began Dada activities in other cities.
Origin of the word Dada
The origin of the name Dada is unclear. Some believe that it is a nonsensical word. Others maintain that it originates from the Romanian artists Tristan Tzara and Marcel Janco's frequent use of the words da, da, meaning yes, yes in the Romanian language. Others believe that a group of artists assembled in Zürich in 1916, wanting a name for their new movement, chose it at random by stabbing a French-German dictionary with a paper knife, and picking the name that the point landed upon. Dada in French is a child's word for hobby-horse. In French the colloquialism, c'est mon dada, means it's my hobby.
It has also been suggested that the word "dada" was chosen randomly from the Larousse dictionary.
According to the Dada ideal, the movement would not be called Dadaism, much less designated an art-movement.
Berlin
The groups in Germany were not as strongly anti-art as other groups. Their activity and art was more political and social, with corrosive manifestos and propaganda, biting satire, large public demonstrations and overt political activities.
In February 1918, Richard Huelsenbeck gave his first Dada speech in Berlin, and produced a Dada manifesto later in the year. Hannah Höch and George Grosz used Dada to express post-World War I communist sympathies. Grosz, together with John Heartfield, developed the technique of photomontage during this period. The artists published a series of short-lived political journals, and held an International Dada Fair in 1920.
The Berlin group saw much in-fighting; Kurt Schwitters and others were excluded from the group. Schwitters moved to Hanover where he developed his individual type of Dada, which he dubbed Merz.
The Berlin group published periodicals such as Club Dada, Der Dada, Everyman His Own Football (Jedermann sein eigner Fussball), and Dada Almanach.
Cologne
In Cologne (Köln), Max Ernst, Johannes Theodor Baargeld and Arp launched a controversial Dada exhibition in 1920 which focused on nonsense and anti-bourgeois sentiments.
New York
Like Zürich, New York was a refuge for writers and artists from World War I. Soon after arriving from France, Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia met American artist Man Ray after arriving only days apart in June of 1915. By 1916 the three of them became the center of radical anti-art activities in the United States. American Beatrice Wood, who had been studying in France, soon joined them. Much of their activity centered in Alfred Stieglitz's gallery, 291, and the studio of Walter and Louise Arensberg.
The New Yorkers did not label themselves Dada, nor did they issue manifestos or organize riotous events. However, they issued challenges to art and culture through publications such as The Blind Man, Rongwrong, and New York Dada in which they criticized the traditionalist basis for museum art. New York Dada lacked the disillusionment of European Dada and was instead driven by a sense of irony and humor.
During this time Duchamp began exhibiting readymades (found objects) such as a bottle rack, and got involved with the Society of Independent Artists. In 1917 he submitted his famous Fountain, a urinal signed R. Mutt, to the Society of Independent Artists show only to have the piece rejected. First an object of scorn within the arts community, it has since been canonized, ironically, and often considered a watershed work of modern art; the committee presiding over Britain's prestigious Turner Prize in 2004, for example, called it "the most influential work of modern art.""Duchamp's urinal tops art survey"
Picabia's travels tied New York, Zürich and Paris groups together. For seven years he also published the Dada periodical 391 in Barcelona, New York City, Zürich, and Paris from 1917 through 1924.
By 1921, most of the original players moved to Paris where Dada experienced its last major incarnation (see Neo-Dada for later activity).
Paris
The French avant-garde kept abreast of Dada activities in Zürich with regular communications from Tristan Tzara (whose pseudonym means "sad in country," a name chosen to protest the treatment of Jews in his native Romania), who exchanged letters, poems, and magazines with Guillaume Apollinaire, André Breton, Max Jacob, and other French writers, critics and artists.
Dada in Paris surged in 1920 when many of the originators converged there. Inspired by Tzara, Paris Dada soon issued manifestos, organized demonstrations, staged performances and produced a number of journals (the final two editions of Dada, Le Cannibale, and Littérature featured Dada in several editions.)
The first introduction of Dada artwork to the Parisian public was at the Salon des Indépendants in 1921. Jean Crotti exhibited works associated with Dada including a work entitled, Explicatif bearing the word Tabu.
The Netherlands
In The Netherlands the Dada movement centered mainly around Theo van Doesburg, most well known for establishing the De Stijl movement and magazine of the same name. Van Doesburg mainly focused on poetry, and included poems from many well-known Dada writers in De Stijl such as Hugo Ball, Hans Arp and Kurt Schwitters. Van Doesburg became a friend of Schwitters, and together they organized the so-called Dutch Dada campaign in 1923, where Van Doesburg promoted a leaflet about Dada (called What is Dada?), Schwitters read his poems, Vilmos Huszàr demonstrated a mechanical dancing doll and Van Doesburg's wife, Nelly, played avant-garde compositions on piano.
Van Doesburg wrote Dada poetry himself in De Stijl, although under a pseudonym, I.K. Bonset, which was only revealed after his tragic death in 1931. 'Together' with I.K. Bonset, he also published a short-lived Dutch Dada magazine called Mécano....
Poetry, music and sound
Not strictly a visual arts or literary movement, Dada influence reached into sound and music. Kurt Schwitters developed what he called sound poems and composers such as Erwin Schulhoff, Hans Heusser and Albert Savinio wrote Dada music, while members of Les Six collaborated with Dada movement members and their pieces played at Dada gatherings. In the very first Dada Publication, Hugo Ball describes a "balalaika orchestra playing delightful folk-songs." African music was common at dada gatherings, signaling a return to nature.
Legacy
While broad, the movement was unstable. By 1924, Dada was melding into surrealism, and artists had gone on to other ideas and movements, including surrealism, socialist realism and other forms of modernism.
By the dawn of World War II, many of the European Dadaists had fled or emigrated to the United States. Some died in death camps under Hitler, who disliked the kind of radical art that Dada represented. The movement became less active as post-World War II optimism led to new movements in art and literature.
Dada is a named influence and reference of various anti-art and political and cultural movements including Situationists.
At the same time that the Zürich Dadaists made noise and spectacle at the Cabaret Voltaire, Vladimir Lenin wrote his revolutionary plans for Russia in a nearby apartment. He was unappreciative of the artistic revolutionary activity near him. Tom Stoppard used this coincidence as a premise for his play Travesties (1974), which includes Tzara, Lenin, and James Joyce as characters.
The Cabaret Voltaire fell into disrepair until it was occupied by a group claiming to be neo-Dadaists, led by Mark Divo, from January to March of 2002. Many of their activities received as much public attention as the original Dada movement. After their eviction the space became a museum dedicated to the history of Dada.
In 1967, a large Dada retrospective was held in Paris, France.
In Summer 2006, The Museum of Modern Art in New York City also held a large retrospective of Dada.

Went to a free "secret" show for the Shiny Toy Guns and my friend, the director/animator of their new video Ghost Town, Glen Hanson this last weekend.. I had gotten done performing at Antebellum Gallery an hour before for the Radical Faerie Event, hightailed it to the location, and it was awesome! I took lots of pics, met the band, utilized the open bar(s) and ran into James St James. JSJ, who I haven't seen in years, aside from episodes of America's Next Boring Model, was filming for his webshow, and I was just informed that I am in it.. so I will post it for you to see! Have a good night lovelies! xoxo KF
James and Thairin go to NBC's "secret show" for Shiny Toy Guns and their hot new animated music video "Ghost Town," currently in constant rotation on NBC. At the show, James hangs out with the video's director - his dear friend and animator extraordinaire Glen Hanson. He also runs into LA Weekly's "Nightranger" columnist Lina Lecaro, who joins him and Thairin as they slip backstage to meet the band. Hilarity and hijinks ensue, and James makes a discovery that links him to the band's singer Chad Petree and keyboardist/bassist Jeremy Dawson via the Limelight days in NYC. James also chats with performance artist Krys Fox, flirts with countless boys and girls, and does vocal exercizes with the band's singer Sisely Treasure - all before Shiny Toy Guns take to the stage for an amazing show.

So there's this show i am in this weekend called NAKED CREATURES. i am excited about it.. i will post all details below for your note taking and mapquesting purposes. i am excited. and scared. When i was asked to partake in said show, it was spoken that nudity was indeed titular and thematic. NO PROBLEM i think to myself. I AM HALF NAKED ALL THE TIME! Half and totally are actually two different things in the rehearsal process. Then in practicing and coaching by several thesbians and lesbians i decide i am IN FACT ok with the whole naked-thing. I have a modestly decent body, no scars that aren't strangely sexy, and i do prance about in a jockstrap at clubs with or without the booking. So, why the big fuss? Is it all insecurity over what, my weenie? my twig and berries? my cock? hmmmm... Then, i get to our first pow wow of artistic sharing, we all perform or detail our respective numbers with one another in the cast. And i wait and wait and realize i am the ONLY friggin person who is gonna be nekkid for a LARGE bulk of their peice. Not only that but my peice is thirty friggin minutes. Sweat. Pouring. Now the show is in three days... tech rehearsals and dress rehearsals and last minute sewing and Home Depot visits.. and the show. So the fear is very real now. Should i work out? Yes. Will I? Does sex count? However, nerves aside i am stoked and excited to play on a REAL stage, act and be acted upon (nude or not) for the first time in a long while. I have performed probably 150 times in the lsat few years but with the exception of a few places.. and special instances. This is the first time i get to perform for people who are not drunk. Well, not all drunk. And that is something. And maybe since the show is two nights, i'll feel a million times better after i do it the first night, and then the second night i'll be all, "It's my wang !! WOOHOO! Deal with it!" and it will be dealt with, but for now the butterflies are tearing my ass apart. Not that you shouldn't go! YOU SHOULD ! And bring your mom! (mothers love me.. well, except my crazy ex's alcholic mother, but she didn't like anyone except Jack Daniel's. And there will be more nudity than just me, albeit briefer or less EXPOSED AND NEW.. My peice is a three act, so i'm in the whole thing. (don't leave at intermission) It's entitled WHO KILLED FOXY COTTON? Edgy huh? Largely it was inspired by three things.. Amanda Palmer's music (there is also Loopstation, Zoe Keating, Billy Idol and Chris Isaac involved).. her music changed something in me last year and upon hearing it sends me to this raw vital part of my inner man and art likes to live there and draw on the walls. Ron Athey. A man i grew to know and love this last year. A true profound intelligent being. He, wether he knows it or not, changed me too. Made my eyes open up to a world of contradiction, mutilation, peace, and patience. How to perform for yourself and dare people to GET IT. ..and lastly, Myself. I turned 30 two months ago.. and things change wether or not you ask. I wake to find my t shirts don't even fit me. The one's i bought in assuredness that i would never grow again, that the years working in vintage stores on Melrose were an investment. And here I am, 30 with shoulders and a back! Who'da thunk? But internally I wake to see a different man inside. One who doesn't need as much attention, affection, validation or appreciation as he had. Doesn't want to fill the messy and sad up with booze and boys. Likes the quiet in the noise as opposed to the noisy quiet. Saturn flew around me and I am left feeling more whole all alone. Funny huh? So yeah, come to my show and watch Foxy Cotton DIE! XOXO Krys Fox Oh yeah.. the show is..  with: Krys Fox, Samuel Vasquez, Jean Natalia, Ian MacKinnon, Matthew Silverstein, Danny Hill, Angelita, and DanceGood.Damnit! www. highwaysperformance. orgI think I am prouder of this show, this cast and this experience than of any performance I have done thus far.
