Cle Confidential Book Tour – February 2011

Cle Confidential Book Tour features three author-
musicians who hail from Cleveland, Ohio but whose
influence is without boundaries. The trio includes
Cheetah Chrome (Rocket From The Tombs, Dead Boys),
Mike Hudson (The Pagans) and Bob Pfeifer (Human
Switchboard, Tabby Chinos). Each will read excerpts
from their book, answer questions from the audience and
discuss their books and careers with each other. Authors
will be available to sign books at each appearance.
Smog Veil Records is now scheduling dates for the tour.

Author/Artist: Cheetah Chrome

Book Title: Cheetah Chrome – A Dead Boy’s Tale From The Front
Lines Of Punk Rock

Book Synopsis: No-holds-barred autobiography of Cheetah
Chrome, lead guitarist of the Dead Boys, one of the greatest
punk bands ever. It’s a tale of success and excess—amazing
music, legendary antics, epic drug use, and eventual
resurrection—that only a true rock and roller could deliver.

Bio: Chrome is best known as guitarist/founding member of
both Rocket From The Tombs and Dead Boys. As a songwriter
his work has been covered by artists such as Guns n Roses,
Pearl Jam and the Beastie Boys. He still performs and records
with Rocket From The Tombs, as well as Batusis (with Sylvain
Sylvain ). He lives in Nashville with his wife and son.

Author/Artist: Mike Hudson

Book Titles: Jetsam and Diary of a Punk

Book Synopsis: The 32 short pieces that make up Jetsam were
written and published between 1977 and 2009 in newspapers
and magazines Hudson has worked for during his long career
as a journalist and freelance writer. His lean and unsentimental
prose style is apparent in even the earliest entries here. Diary
of A Punk is Hudson’s autobiography.

Bio: Hudson founded the American punk rock group the Pagans
in 1977. His work has appeared in Hustler, the Associated Press,

Master Detective, Field & Stream and many other publications
here and abroad. He is currently the founding editor and CEO
of the Niagara Falls Reporter, a New York tabloid specializing
in politics and organized crime.

Author/Artist: Bob Pfeifer

Book Title: University of Strangers

Book Synopsis: In a sensational case that made headlines all
over the globe, American student Amanda Knox was convicted
of the murder of her British roommate, Meredith Kercher,
in what Italian authorities described as a sadistic sexual
encounter. Pfeifer’s novel details the efforts of a secret society,
comprised of famous contemporary figures from the worlds of
literature, show business and politics, to clear the girl’s name.
A unique blend of fact and fiction the book is a spellbinding
account of the violence, corruption and celebrity worship that
characterize much of 21st century life.

Bio: Pfeifer was a founding member and primary songwriter
for the critically acclaimed band, Human Switchboard. He
went on to be Senior Vice President A&R / Epic Records and
President of Hollywood Records (The Walt Disney Company).
He is responsible for the sale of 50 Million albums having
worked with Alice Cooper, Joe Satriani, Ornette Coleman,
The Screaming Trees, Elton John, among many others, and
soundtracks like the Crow: City of Angels and Lion King.
He lives with his son in Los Angeles.

Talk about an adventure. This is my photo album front to back. We were so busy it was hard to get the camera out as often as i would have liked. I tell you this….the Fountain Art Fair took the art world by its shoulders and shook hard that weekend. There was such teamwork, camaraderie , ups, downs, wind, rain, warmth, and happiness. More to come… enjoy the photos.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: New York (February 1, 2011)

Fountain Art Fair New York will celebrate its sixth successful year of showcasing avant-garde, independent artists and galleries during Armory Arts Weekend on March 3–6. An exhibition known for its vibrant energy, focus on daringly impressive emerging art, and complete disregard for convention, Fountain is proud to announce a lineup of exhibitors and performances that is sure to outshine last year’s art frenzy. This year Fountain returns to Pier 66 Maritime, a sprawling 10,000 sq ft venue (including salvaged lightship The Frying Pan) that provides a raw, singularly resonant environment for experiencing Fountain’s distinct mixture of progressive art, installations, and live performances.

Featuring over 20 exhibitors and independent projects—with emphasis on cutting-edge Brooklyn-based galleries and artists—Fountain will open its doors on Thursday, March 3rd with a VIP & Press preview. Public access to the exhibition begins Friday, March 4th at 11am. Among the art projects and exhibits presented, Fountain New York 2011 will feature several veteran participants including Christina Ray Gallery, Grace Exhibition Space, Leo Kesting Gallery, We-Are-Familia, Greg Haberny, McCaig-Welles, and more. Fountain is also pleased to welcome many outstanding new exhibitors, including Microscope Gallery, What It Is, Danni Rash & GILF!, Camel Art Space, and Mark Demos. Recognizing and supporting Fountain’s commitment to up-and-coming, culturally resonant artwork are this year’s sponsors, including standout media institutions and tastemakers such as The Village Voice, Gakwer Artists, Flavorpill, The Onion, and The L Magazine.

Art Container is a small group of people running together the shared studio space, a residency and an independent art gallery in Culture Factory Polymer in Tallinn, Estonia since 2008. They have exhibited and performed together since the end of 2008 in Tallinn, Estonia, Riga, Latvia, Miami, USA and Brisbane, Australia.
The Bathers is a social and architectural experiment. The working sauna is built of used windows.It enables literally to look into Estonian sauna culture. Every bather in the sauna is a performer.
The sauna serves both as a stage and at the same times as a whole small theatre house.
The sauna is open for the public, but there are 7 permanent performers inside the sauna throughout the event. The borderline between the audience and actors is completely blurred. The performance could be viewed both from outside, thanks to the transparency of windows and from inside the sauna. Estonian traditional sauna customs are practiced by performers: sitting a very hot room, throwing water to the oven, thus raising the temperature inside, hitting oneself with the dried branches, socializing with each other, telling stories.
So far The Bathers has been performed in Polymer Culture Factory in Tallinn, Estonia (July-August 2009), Balta Nakts festival in Riga, Latvia (September 2009), Fountain Art Fair, Miami, USA (December 2009) and Brisbane Festival in Australia(September 2010).
“The Bathers. Performance documentation in 3D” features The Bathers the interactive performance/installation as a small scale model.

Tanel Saar has been running the independent art space Art Container in Culture Factory
Polymer in Tallinn, together with Sandra Jogeva and Erik Alalooga Estonia since April
2007. He is also in board of directors of Culture Factory Polymer.
Tanel Saar`s latest solo art works include an installation titled Trojan Horse in Art
Container gallery in February 2010 and an installation containing of a small copy of the

She has been recently working in the fields of sculpture and installation, creating
the headless bodies of large women made out of gelatine and other objects made of
silicone, latex and caramel, experimenting with different nontraditional materials. Her
art has been associated with gender issues and she has used her real life experience as
a dominatrix in her art works. Her most recent solo show was in a gallery called Grace
Space in Brooklyn, New York in June 2009 and her recent curatorial projects include an
international group show titled Animal Collective in Tallinn Art Hall in March 2009 and
New Age in Parnu Artists` House in March 2010.

Erik Alalooga (1974) is an Estonian artist and a teacher. Erik Alalooga is a professor

has graduated from Estonian Academy of Arts, getting his BA in sculpture and MA in
interdisciplinary arts.
He has been running the independent art space Art Container in Culture Factory Polymer
together with Tanel Saar and Sandra Jogeva since March 2007.
During the past several years Erik Alalooga`s solo art projects have been all about
creating Kinematic Mysteriums as he calls them: labour-intense interactive installations
of rustic looking welded objects with performative elements. The audience always has
to actively participate and collaborate with each other to make the event happen. In
a way, they have to “solve the mysteries”. He has exhibited his mysteriums so far in
Estonia, Lithuania, France and Austria. Prior to Mysteriums Erik Alalooga has created
complex kinetic objects that also require heavy participation from viewers to become
interactive with the audience. His Mysteriums, however, are on their way to become
even more performative and avant-garde theatre-like and less of the passive “art” objects
that belong to a gallery space. Recently Erik Alalooga has started a collaboration with
Estonian-based German contemporary composer Hans-Günther Lock, who provides the
Mysteriums with experimental musical background.

Mai Sööt was born in 1983 in Tartu.
2007 graduated painting and restoration in Tartu Art College. In addition she studied in Kaunas Art Institute as exchange student.
Thereupon entered painting department at Estonian Academy of Arts MA. After changing specialty graduated interdisciplinary arts in 2010. Mai Sööt has been working with painting, sculpture, video, installation. Presently she is creating performances, where sculptures act as substantial attributes. She is working with topics of mundane and clerical, embarrassing and sacral, making sincerity to grow into self-irony and the opposite.

This will be an event not to be missed.
