An Epic Prince Karaoke Party
Join in for the glamorous conclusion of the Prince-inspired exhibition and event series curated by Glen Helfand, After Pop Life, for an evening of opulent visuals, Prince-inspired fashion, karaoke, and dancing in the atrium of the fittingly titled Minnesota Street Project.
After Pop Life Closing party
Saturday, October 1, 2016 | 8pm to 11pm
Minnesota Street Project, 1275 Minnesota Street
FREE with RSVP
In addition to the final viewing of works by nearly 40 visual artists, Bay Area-based artist collaborative, Bonanza, working with Marco Garcia and Maria Guzman Capron, will stage 23 Positions in a One Night Stand, a BNNZA fashion performance.
Inspired by Prince’s notorious 1991 MTV Music Awards performance of the song Gett Off, the show will feature 23 models wearing 23 Prince-inspired looks, engaging in fierce posturing and durational performances that will activate the oak bleachers and accent a full-on dance party DJ’d by artist Cliff Hengst.
The musical spirit of Prince will be conjured in a live set by Oakland’s own XUXA SANTAMARIA (Sófia Cordova and Matt Kirkland).
The event will also feature extended access to Jenifer Wofford’s Dearly Beloved Karaoke Chapel, a glittery photo op by Torreya Cummings, projections by Josh Stulen, and purple snacks curated by O.M. France. Thematically fitting swag will be available for purchase.
