Upcoming Events at The Kitchen  
 
512 West 19th Street, New York, NY 10011  
212-255-5793 www.thekitchen.org 
Mai-Thu Perret: 
An Evening of the Book and Other Stories 
 
January 11 – March 1, 2008 
Opening Reception: Friday, January 11, 6-8PM 
 
Curated by Debra Singer and Rashida Bumbray 
Working primarily in sculpture and installation, 
Geneva-based artist 
Mai-Thu Perret creates works interrogating aspects of 
contemporary 
consumerist culture through the lens of utopian 
revolutionary ideals 
of early 20th century avant-garde artistic movements. For 
her first 
New York solo exhibition, Perret will present the US 
premiere of her 
new video, An Evening of the Book, as well as related 
sculptural 
works. The video, and show as a whole, takes its title and 
inspiration 
from a 1924 agit-prop Russian theater work that included a 
set design 
by Varvara Stepanova, an influential artist of the Russian 
avant-garde 
whose work epitomized the Constructivist tenet that art 
should have a 
social purpose. Incorporating abstract choreographed 
movement, the 
video evokes a dreamy logic as a group of women are seen at 
work, 
play, and rest. Through ghostly layers of past and present, 
this new 
project draws attention to how historical fragments can 
continue to be 
an ongoing active force in shaping the present, signifying 
something 
new in the changed context of today. 
 
Exhibition Hours: Tue-Fri, 12-6pm; Sat 11-6pm FREE 
 
This exhibition is made possible with generous support from 
Pro 
Helvetia, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, 
and with 
public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural 
Affairs and 
the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.

Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber: 
Rise of the Mojosexual Cotillion  
with special guest Sparlha Swa 
 
January 18 and 19 (Friday and Saturday), 8pm  
Tickets: $10 
 
Curated by Rashida Bumbray 
 
Burnt Sugar The Arkestra Chamber is a New York-based, 
twenty-plus member ensemble known for improvisatory 
orchestral performances that mash up all manner of vocal, 
instrumental, and electronic music. Drawing from diverse 
influences ranging from Billie Holiday and Morton Feldman 
to Jimi Hendrix, Divine Styler, and the Bomb Squad, the 
group is led by founder and conductor Greg Tate. For these 
evenings, the group will perform a mojosexual-inflected 
suite of trans-genre (and trance-inducing) works that are 
part acid-funk, part-hip hop mixed with layers of 
psychedelic grooves. The evening features performers: Rene 
Akan, Maya Azucena, Mikel Banks, Paula Henderson, Asim 
Barnes, Lisala Beatty, Jason DiMatteo, Abby Dobson, Justice 
Dilla-X, Chris Eddleton, Avram Fefer, Trevor Holder, Jimmy 
Lee, Bruce Mack, Jared Michael Nickerson, Myles Reilly, 
Catherine Sikora, Josh Sinton, David Smith, Jeff Smith, and 
Greg Tate.  
 
The evenings open with a performance by emerging songwriter 
and vocalist Sparlha Swa, who offers her evocatively 
lyrical alternative music that is sparse, powerful, and 
direct. Swa on vocals and guitar will be accompanied by 
Shree Shaym (Bass), Amali Premawardhana (Cello), and Kevin 
Raczka (Drums).  
 
This program is made possible with generous support from 
The Amphion Foundation, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the 
Visual Arts, the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, the 
Aaron Copland Fund for Music, The New York State Music 
Fund, and with public funds from the New York City 
Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State 
Council on the Arts, a state agency.
