Melissa Steckbauer – I, the hunter

Opening 29. Mai 2010 at 6 p.m.

After Show Party: DJ Stefan Havoc – 80s electro pop

Gallery Ulf Saupe presents the first solo exhibition in Berlin of the young American artist Melissa Steckbauer. The exhibition “I, the Hunter” showcases a new series of paintings on small paper formats and large canvases. Her paintings touch on intimate, sexually charged moments and fantasies. The opening takes place on the 29th of May 2010 at 6 p.m. in Ulf Saupe Gallery on Torstrasse 75.

Fable characters, people of daily life and exaggerated caricatures find their way into her works. The artist dramatizes and disarms the situations at the same moment. Through the infantilization of the main characters and through the tenderness in her paintings Steckbauer engages the human need for closeness.

I will be available to travel around Europe for bookings at art events and festivals, Pride, queer, and sex events.

I would love to exhibit/perform at art spaces/galleries/museums, speak on panels relating to art, sex, sex work, and porn, and present at universities or colloquia.

I am currently working on a cutting edge new performance series: Biological Clock, a part of Teaching Myself to Love that deals with issues of queer perspectives on time and fertility and the intersection of sexuality and parenthood. If you are interested in collaboration, let me know- particularly if you are an artist/sex worker/queer with sperm.

Contact me at sadielune (@) gmail.com if you would like to book me for your event!

Stay tuned for new visual art, writing, and performance archives related to Teaching Myself to Love.

In honor of the first spin of the season of the Lexington Street Disco Ball which shines and sparkles right into our hearts, Lula Mae Day and I invite you to take a spin on the flower laden dancefloor that is the block of Lexington Street between 21st and 20th streets. Dress up in prom/formal/fancy pants/superbeauty/glamatron style and come slow dance with us under the disco ball and the stars. This is the Coda to our performance/experiment: ProveYou’re Not a Robot, and all about the magic of the love and beauty always available close at hand. Bring other slow dancers and dress pretty. Pass it On!

Turns out we’re not the only lovers: http://www.sfbg.com/specials/2010/01/04/best-bay-2009-arts-and-nightlife

March has been such a revelation in a certain kind of energetic 0 to a certain kind of energetic 3000. In preparation for my trip, I’m sure, somehow a flock of beautiful queer Europeans have landed all around my life. I was listed in a Swedish newspaper as one of the recently naked performances to hit the stage in Malmo. I wrote a piece for a Dutch feminist magazine, Lover, about sex worker performance artists. The day-to-day decisions of my life: how I spend my time, what I eat, where I sleep, etc. suddenly turned into community processes as I welcomed my collaborator, Lula Mae Day into my home and life, along with a succession of ebullient houseguests and an overflowing nest of other allegiances.

I’m working with this new set of intentions and impetuses, and I’m loving them. Its this program I call “Living the Dream/Leaps of Faith”. It’s all about discarding practical logic in favor of bold steps towards living my dream, but implementing practicality and logic around the little stuff to keep me grounded and semi-cromulent. There is a lot of what feels like putting the cart before the horse involved in this program, and it gets quite scary at times. I feel like a fast fast car loaded up for a cross-country move, with every precious belonging strapped to the roof. And things keep flying off to be lost on the side of the highway, but I just keep rolling on towards the beautiful goal, and it is actually all ok. Better than ok, its really happening.

An ‘availabilist’ performance art installation investigating intimacy, shame and the blessed beast of huge love.
A sequence of interactive games, symbiotic rituals and swell treats traveling through the theater space.
This show is the completion of an AIRspace Residency
part of the ongoing project Teaching Myself to Love
(unfortunately not wheelchair accessible)

Prove You’re Not a Robot is a lo-tech performance art installation collaborative conspiracy between Sadie Lune and Lula Mae Day. An investigation into mutual and consensual revelation; we’ll share an evolving succession of explicit playground games, expository interviews, improvisational trances and of course, treats.
Using the ‘availabilist’ aesthetic of found objects from everyday life, the whole rigmarole will snake through the physical space of the Garage theater as it progressively delves deeper into the artists’ manifestations of curiosity, vulnerability, neurosis, transcendence, and ultimately the blessed beast of huge love.

Take a trip with us through five layers of mutating dynamics between artist and audience, from spectacle to choose your own adventure. Wander through the dissonance of exterior perceptions and interior landscapes. Hold our hands while we pull the covers off of shame, sexuality, and faith. Roll up your sleeves while we grapple with depression, hypocrisy, and intimacy. Prepare for a catch and release while we try to get a handle on time, boundaries, and compassion.

For weeks before the public performance the artists will engage in multifaceted symbiotic ritual focusing on practices of commitment including cohabitation, sober altered states, physical attachment and co-dependent sensory deprivation, you know, the works.

Sadie Lune and Lula Mae Day will present Heads or Tails, a performance ritual as a response to the classism and community negligence of the proposed Sit/Lie law, as well as issues of intimacy in public space.
We’ll use one penny for every 10 homeless people in San Francisco to create a silhouette of the space a lying body inhabits.
