Cortez Killer Cutz:
Featuring DJ Decker Radiaro aka DJ Decks, is a pirate radio audio sculpture (NYC FM number station to be announced) that will present hip-hop, Brit-pop, Norteno, R&B and Mash-Up. In collaboration with This Red Door, it will feature interviews and political commentary regarding labor, music, and international urban cultural trends.
The Vocal Booth:
“Me and my people,
The Extraordinary Individuals
We do this thing.
Willie Survive named it The Vocal Booth.
See, when we’ve had enough rehearsal amongst ourselves and wanna share with (as Bugs Bunny used to say) “Me Public!” Willie Survive will raise the riot gate on the empty storefront we practice in (today at This Red Door). We’ll run our set live and then invite any passerby: “If you got a hot 16 and wanna kick it/step in the vocal booth we got ya free ticket!” If you just want to come in and vibe you’re also more than welcome.”
- Rev. Zookness
This Red Door:
A collaborative attempt by artists Jomar Statkun, Jared Friedman, and Christopher Stackhouse to expand terms and conditions that may define ‘studio practice’. Our room behind the door is a discursive space where we integrate an address to the plastic arts through a salon styled rotation of objects, tandem lectures, informal talks, literary readings, film/video screenings, short plays, music, dinner parties, among other kinds of impromptu gatherings and aleatory occurrences. It is our hope that an open ended interpretation of art and social functionality treated this way will inspire non-hierarchical secular discussion between artists and the general public about topics including arts education, politics, barter economies, social capital, personal taste and opinion, and friendship. To develop a porous group conversation that is inviting to strangers and old familiars alike is the goal. We plan to keep the door to our studio open (literally) as often as we can. Whether we are working there, having an event, or just entertaining friends and acquaintances, we welcome visitors interested in experiencing the place upon which they are entering.
