Denver Underground


Communikey electronic art festival, picture plane hi-dive, Rhinoceropolis, Tree house collective, Bash back, cluster studios, 2 am- Santa Fe Arts district- random going out in Denver last few weeks...



Rhinoceropolis







A fag for 50 cents?!?! What a deal! I will take two in that case

All funds were raised for the Denver chapter of Bash Back (Not 'Gay' as in 'happy'. 'Queer' as in 'fuck you'.

Bash Back!
is a network of radical, anarchist and anti-authoritarian queer projects within the United States, formed in Chicago in 2007 to facilitate a convergence of radical trans and queer activists from around the country. [1] Bash Back! seeks to critique the ideology of mainstream LGBT movement, which the group sees as assimilation into the dominant institutions of a heteronormative society. Bash Back! is noticeably influenced by the anarchist movement and radical queer groups, such as ACT UP and Gay Shame, and takes inspiration from the Stonewall and White Night riots.[2]

Never hide the mess- In fact put a strobe light on it











It's probably not a stretch to assume that Travis Egedy, who operates as
Pictureplane out of a converted Denver warehouse he's dubbed "Rhinoceropolis", took the name from the 2D art concept that describes the surface of the chosen medium. Painters and draftspeople are most often stuck with a flat surface, and it's up to their own techniques how "deep" they want to make it. Egedy's own canvas is flat out of practical concerns: He uses cheap computer programs and patched-together synths because, well, he's a performance artist living in Denver and probably doesn't have a lot of money. As a result, a busy track like "Trance Doll (Post-World Dub)", despite frequent nods to deep house, dub, and trance, is all frenetic surface action, like Gang Gang Dance's wonderful "House Jam" on a jittery Sparks fix. Those ethereal, echoed female moans are just a wee bit behind the sliced up cathedral synths and antsy drum machines, and the song shifts from glo-stick to comedown, and back, faster than you can say, "The cops are here." He's working in miniature, his palette is limited, and though he's more than eager to please, the colors he's working with deserve a much-more 3D space.
