Art and music pioneer Genesis Breyer P-Orridge sincerely regrets having to cancel their Australian tour due to unexpected complications related to their ongoing struggle with chronic leukemia.
All tickets purchased to the February 2nd concert at The SUBSTATION will be refunded.
The Australian exclusive exhibition of works from Genesis P-Orridge, LOYALTY DOES NOT END WITH DEATH, the first significant survey of their work on display in Australia, will proceed at The SUBSTATION, from 2 February to 10 March.
Curated by Lawrence English, the exhibition features Genesis’ artworks and traces the development of the pandrogyne project as well as their interests in identity and transcendence. It explores their interest in the sacred and the profane and is a provocation against wholesale acceptance on normative relations, be they social, political, sexual or otherwise.
For over four decades Genesis has shattered boundaries and notions with an eclectic body of work that has seen h/er declared as one of the world’s most influential artists.
Working across art forms, Genesis has exhibited in hundreds of exhibitions worldwide over the past 46 years, including the recent retrospectives at the Andy Warhol Museum and the Rubin Museum of Art.
“We are heartbroken that Genesis and Edley will be unable to join us this January for what would have been their first solo visit to Australia. The work Genesis has undertaken, across music and art has been foundational and is a critical intergenerational connection between the countercultures of the mid 20th century and emergent projects around identity, transgression and transcendence in music and art today. We send our very warmest thoughts to them and hope the ongoing therapies are successful in treating their Leukaemia. We will be refunding all tickets to the Genesis show”, says Lawrence English, Director of Room40.
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
