(SAN FRANCISCO – October 15-18, 2009) – POW! POW! ACTION Art festival 2009 is a 4 evening festival of new ACTION art works that will take place on Thursday October 15th, Friday October 16th, Saturday October 17th, and Sunday October 18th. Co-curated and produced by Alyssa Lee of group A and gal*in_dog AKA Guillermo Galindo, POW! POW! displays “cutting-edgy” work of performers and artists from the Bay Area, New York, Seattle, Philadelphia, Hawaii, Los Angeles, Canada, and Germany.

” The ultimate artists response to the economic melt down…A tax payer/GOP friendly festival. Not one penny of tax money ever used to produce it”. –POW! POW! Translation = ” Real freedom of expression. No strings attached.”
One of the few uncensored festivals in the US, POW! POW! is presented as a response to the ways in which the art scene is managed in the Bay Area and the United States and to the bailout of “too big to fail” arts organizations. Artists have been forced to follow certain aesthetics in order to have their work presented in a gallery or a festival and obligated to create a specific type of work that follows the fiscal sponsor’s agenda. Thus, the sponsor gets either to censor the artist or to adapt the art to fit the organization’s specific agenda. The curators of POW! POW! devised a festival where the artist is encouraged to present work without restrictions.
The previous year’s festival, POW! 2008 mini performance art festival was a huge success, generating excitement for performance art and for uncensored expression from artists. This year’s POW! POW! has quadrupled in size and will be even more shocking!
Among many outrageous artists, POW! POW! 2009 will feature daring and controversial performers such as Frank Moore, Keith Hennessey, Michael Namkung, and many others. The content of these shameless pieces are all over the map, ranging from works about volcanic eruptions, underwater explorations of performative hygiene, photographs of souls, wearable art pieces, first dates, electro-mechanical soft sculptures, absurdist hip hop performances, art critiques, interactive video installations, Japanese-American Internment camps, and the ironic and sometimes brutal ideals we teach our children that we consider acceptable.

Shaman’s Den with Nellie

Last night’s guest on the Shaman’s Den was Nellie Wilson of the Sacred Touch School. She helps people expand their erotic life though in person instruction/workshops and through video learning on her website with Ed Ehrgott. Some of what she does is explore exercises with people that expand their erotic experience and believes that learning happens by experiencing in your body. Nellie spoke about her work with people one to one and about exploring their edges where they felt uncomfortable or tight while being erotic. Nellie talked about how Frank’s performances are much the same. Frank creates a play space and invites people in and he follows opportunities and openings as they arise. People can explore and expand and jump into the unknown, or sometimes they hold on and are unwilling to explore, staying safe.

Nellie spoke about how many people are holding on to being in control. She said sometimes people want to be in control when they are having an orgasm and they are concerned about how they will look when they have one. Linda said that holding onto control is not sexy, what is sexy is a person who is available and willing to jump, explore and surrender. People who are available without limits, that is what is sexy! When someone is available without limits people feel it and respond to it. They may not always know what it is but they feel it and they are drawn to it. Frank said that guys are always coming up to him and wondering how does a guy like him get all the girls? Nellie said there is pretty on the inside and there is pretty on the outside. Frank said that he is pretty all the time! He is available without limits. Nellie said that spoke to something in all of us deeply at the core. Frank and Linda talked about the many times when they were in other cities and they needed people to be in performances. People would find people who were sex performers and it was always them who had the most trouble jumping in. They said that they would be fine having sex on the stage with Frank but rocking naked on his lap they would not do. It is not usually the sex and nudity that makes people uncomfortable but the intimacy, the relationship. Frank’s focus is on relationships and he is always looking for and following opportunities to be intimate with people and that is what is sexy!

Nellie said that there needed to be a dictionary of new words to talk about erotic experiences. Frank had done it! He came up with the term eroplay to talk about erotic physical play for pleasure without the goal of orgasm, tansex another state of physical play without genital intercourse where there may be orgasm but orgasm is not the goal as in sex. Pantan describes the combination of various kinds of orgasm with an intensely small intimate nonlinear play. Linda said that when Frank had first come up with these terms to talk about erotic play people did not know what he was talking about. Then over time people knew exactly what he was talking about. Nellie said that she could come up with a few terms for the dictionary. Frank said that they could work on it together and she said she was busy with grad school right now. It seems like Frank and Nellie would have a lot to explore deeply together.

Frank is always finding and following ways of being intimate with people like asking Nellie if she would be a plant in his performance at the Pow Pow performance coming up. Nellie would be in the audience and she would feel turned on by Frank and be moved to come up to the stage and explore Frank’s body. The performance was going to be Frank looking out to the audience connecting with people and the plants would become turned on and come up to the stage and explore his body. Nellie said she was not sure that she had class on Friday but they could check in via email. She said that she did not feel very sexy on Friday nights and Frank said that he would turn her on. Nellie said, “I’m sure you would!” Frank said that it was fun to play with Nellie and she enjoyed that. Nellie said that there were more and more people out there she has found that are doing similar things that are wanting to have more human connections, to play and explore. Frank said that people are hungry again like they were 30 years ago!
