SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- A protean carnival of jack-in-the-boxes from hell, vaginal orchids, armless but not harmless bone-beings and live entertainment will be served at an open house and exhibition of Frank Garvey's paintings, music, videos and sculptures at the OmniCircus theatre and gallery on Sat., June 17 from 9 p.m.-12 midnite. The event is free, with donations accepted. Omnicircus is located at 550 Natoma between Mission and Howard and 6th and 7th St., (door on Russ St.), in San Francisco. Garvey's paintings ferment Da Vinci-like technique into audacious, oracular visions of working class oppression, backlit by the atomic pollution of deadly mushroom clouds. Miniature tableaux, packed tight with sardine tin precision, cast humankind's inhumanity to man in blinding relief, from mohawked skateboarders to jiving carnival freaks. Frank Garvey is the founder of SoMa's OmniCircus, a 15-year-old theatre which is ground zero for grim, post-9/11 Guignol movie sets, prophesizing America's soul-destroying demise. A science-friction, neo-crassical cabaret of junkyard robots, Garvey's OmniCircus exposes the brutal and violent collisions of uber-geopolitics with human suffering in a ballistic ballet of butoh, live music, theatrics, virtual puppetry, experimental digital video and seething performance art. Performing at the opening will be members of the OmniCircus Ensemble, including Geoffrey Pond, Kevin Moore, Adrian Herbez, Harry Roche, Stuart Hall, Garvey and other Bay Area performers and musicians.
