Everything WRONG!

Come see C.I.C.L.E. seduce others into the bizarre world of
utilitarian cycling at Everything WRONG show this Friday and Saturday

Did you do it wrong? Have you messed up? Are you on the peripheries
of the margin?

Then we invite you to join the Enablers of The
Round Table Seema �Dpoy� Kapur, Loren �Larry Knight� Hartman, and
Madam H as we build a critical mass of communal wrongness, celebrating
insecurity and difference in a hyper-friendly, come-as-you
really-are party environment with games, music, dance, and food.

Stop fitting in and party at the Wall of Wrong, clam up in
the Shy Room, split a gut on Under-represented Chow, dance to
alternative rhythms, learn about transportation alternatives powered by human legs (C.I.C.L.E.),
Fish for The Truth, Heal Somebody, hang out and meet new
invisible friends, and much, much more as you become part of the
Wrong Revolution to be okay with you and almost everybody else.
This is a durational performance installation/party. Come any
time. Leave any time.

Everything Wrong is the first in a series of events designed to help us
overturn the pervasive sense that material success, competitiveness,
cool indifference, homogeny, and productivity create value. Instead,
the artists want to acknowledge a spectrum of difference in the way we
live. Everyone feels insecure, different, and apart. The more we
can admit our fears, celebrate our differences, and begin to talk to
one another, the more easily we can work together for change.

Audience members are encouraged to dress as they would like to be seen.

Hartman, Kapur and Tanaka are artists and organizers engaged in
creating environments that challenge social norms. In Everything Wrong,
the artists wanted to address the increasing sense of distance and
isolation people appear to feel toward each other by creating a fun,
safe place to understand that everyone feels insecure, different, and
apart, the theory being the more we know about each other, the less
likely we are to try to pretend with each other and the more secure we
feel about communicating and acting together for change. The artists
want to overturn the pervasive sense that material success,
competitiveness, cool indifference, homogeny, and productivity create
value and instead allow for acceptance of the spectrum of difference in
the way we live. Audience members are encouraged to hang out, eat, and
participate, if they choose, but to just enjoy being in a place where
nobody cares what they drive, how they live, what they look like, or
what their last gig was. It�s all about being real.
