ANDY WARHOL’S BIRTHDAY BASH 8/6

posted from launch787.com

Andrew Warhola, known as Andy Warhol, born August 6, 1928, was described as the bellwether of the art market in his time. Warhol, a household name largely associated with modernism and commonly identified as a great American painter, was also considered to be a leading figure in the visual art movement known as Pop Art. Warhol became famous worldwide not just for his work as a painter, but also for being an avant-garde  filmmaker, record producer, author, and public figure known for his sorted membership to wildly diverse social groups, and consortium with distinguished intellectuals, and celebrities alike. In 1952, the artist debuted with his first individual show at the Hugo Gallery, exhibiting Fifteen Drawings Based on the eccentric writings of  Mr. Truman Capote. Not a bad start…

Warhol went on to create many paintings that remain icons of 20th-century art, such as the Campbell’s Soup Cans, and the Marilyns. Not to mention his underground 16mm film classics, such as Chelsea Girls, Blow Job, and Empire.

In honor this iconographic American Pop artist the kids at Massive Beacon, are hosting a giant Andy Warhol Birthday Bash on Friday, August 6th at the Mohawk. In the tradition of its previous all-out parties like ATX Emerge and Massive Art Attack, Massive Beacon has put together a true night of debauchery.  Those who come out to the event will be treated to a finely tuned sensory overload of bands, DJs, decorations, costumes, interactive art booths and tons of swag.

The event coordinators have taken every step to make sure that Warhol’s spirit is present.  ”We want this to look like a factory event from the old days, but updated, as though they had never stopped throwing parties,” says Clayton Armstrong.

Massive Beacon plans to transform the Mohawk’s upstairs patio into an immersive environment with a throwback to Pop era decor, a photo booth by Trevor Ray Thompson, and live stop-motion animation booth, called The Edge of Imagination Station, created by one of the most unique San Marcos-based inventors of recent years, Johnny Villarreal. In true factory-party form there will be live screen-printing by Austin’s arts enthusiast Twin Villain, in association with (th)ink Tank. In addition to having apparel for sale and printing on-site partygoers can also bring in their own clothing items to print on during the show. With performances from local psyche-rockers Ringo Deathstarr, Hatchet Wound, Politics, and Prayer For Animals, and a DJ set from the always perennially fashionable Team Fabrication.

Be sure to get in your “15 minutes of fame” (*Andy Warhol coined this ubiquitous phrase about each human’s ability to momentarily grasp the ephemeral brass ring of notoriety.) as there will be a factory-person look-a-like contest with a grip of prizes from our sponsors, judged by local socialite, Richard Gonzalez of the blog Ultra8201.

Plan to eat like Manhattanites, with free sausage bites and veggie treats from Frank, Austin’s premier venue for cold beer and artisan sausage.  Those provisions will last until 10:30 (so get there early!), but Massive Beacon will leave the first 250 people through the door with something to take home: $10 gift cards for Frank’s hot dogs. And to top it all off, the Mohawk will be adorned with the trimmings of Warhol’s legendary shindigs: red and silver balloons and stacks of reproduced Brillo boxes.

The party starts at 9 and is $7 with an RSVP at do512.com or $10 at the door. Sponsored by Frank Hot Dogs, Ultra8201, Birds Barbershop, and KVRX 91.7 FM, and is presented by Massive Beacon.

Pixel Pop: A Fusion of Art, Fashion and Music

Pixel Pop: A Fusion of Art, Fashion and Music — Friday, July 16th @ The Mohawk

A couple of months ago, From The Mind Of Adi, Electric Promotions, and Team Fabrication decided to put on their thinking caps and come up with a cohesive shindig that combines their biggest passions. Pixel Pop, scheduled to take place on Friday, July 16th at The Mohawk, is the result of those brainstorming sessions. We’re excited to present this original event that brings together the wonderful worlds of art, fashion, and music. Doors open at 9:30 p.m. and cover charge is set at $5 ($7 for minors).
Team Fab’s Jen Rea and Erin Mikulenko are set to present a comic book inspired fashion collection, and local illustrator Chad Townsend will offer up an original art display at the event. Additionally, Jeannine Schafer and other Austin artists will be sketching on site as well. As for the music, outside, Candi and The Strangers and The Happen-Ins will entertain the masses, while later, inside, The Bubbles will bring down the curtain. Plus, DJ sets by uLOVEi throughout the course of the evening so bring those dancing shoes. And naturally, we’d love for you to treasure this evening’s memories forever. We’ve procured the services of not one, but two of our fabulous photog friends. Be sure to stop by both Annie Ray’s and Trevor Ray Thompson’s comic book themed photo-booths for a choice picture, or four.

Portions of the proceeds from the door will benefit HAAM, a local entity that ensures all musicians in town have access to affordable healthcare.
Finally, a big thank you to all our sponsors — Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Graham’s Texas Tea, Yelp, Birds Barbershop, Blue Note Bakery, Sirens Salon, Dynamic Reprographics, The WonderCraft, Sublime Stitching, 302 Designs, Jinxedaposed Clothing, Austin Aztex FC, TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls, and Austin Visual Arts Association.
