Peepshow

Check out Squeaky Wheel’s second biennial Peepshow for a night of sexy events and sexy art. Come to the Broadway Market and take a peep at the 12 artist installations and performances, or any of the three video screenings in private booths. Hear live music featuring the bands Mother Red and Handsome Jack as well as the Brazilian jazz trio Don Metz, Heather Connor and Michael Colquhuon and guitar duo Nick Vega and Mike Golner. Get a drink from the cash bar and bid in the silent auction that includes original work of over 50 pieces from local artists and gift baskets with combinations that include wine, dinners, chocolate—even yoga classes. This night full of the risqué has installations by Michael Bosworth, through whose giant camera obscura guests can voyeuristically view the market, and Elizabeth Licata and Cheryl Jackson, whose multi-media installation is titled The Secret Sex Life of Plants. With many more performances and artists, including a chance to have your picture taken, with props, by local photographer Nancy Parisi in her Be Bo Peep Polaroid photo booth, this St. Valentine-inspired event is not one to skip. Pictured above is I Wish I Had a Date, by Sean Hovendick, which intersperses appropriated educational film from the 1950’s with video from the modern dating scene.

Saturday, February 9 from 7pm-1am. Broadway Market, 999 Broadway Ave. $12 presale (at Talking Leaves, Rust Belt Books, Squeaky Wheel and New World Record) or $15 at the door.
