''The absurd holds no terror for me''

The Reno Artist's show for Reno's Artists by people who know what Reno is all about; this is the theme. The show will be the last three days of June, climaxing June 30. We have reserved at least ten rooms at the El Cortez Hotel on 2nd st. for morning and afternoon activities, the Historic Trocadero Room downstairs at the El Cortez for evening performances and a Coalition of venues including Abby's Highway Forty, the Reno Jazz Club, Davidsons Distillery and the Dream Center/Studio Fourth at 4th and Valley for all night celebrations of Reno's unlimited potential for absurdity. Rooms at the El Cortez are 149.95 for the week. More venues will be added as demand increases.
All artists are literally independent, and will sign a disorganization and self-responsibility agreement. You can have personal sponsors and handle your own sales but this is a privately funded project. Artists are encouraged to collaborate and even share venues. A map with venues and times will be published. Deadline is June 1st
We need interested artists to get on board. Dancers, fire spinners, Actors, Visual Artists of any type, light artists, heavy artists, little artists, hypotemporary artists, Artists with something to say and artists with nada, Artists with no commercial potential, Architects, Poets, Sculptors, Con Artists and Musicians for performances that you'll say, "I may never get a chance to play a song that goes like this again"; Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Got a "Reno quia absurdum" idea? Let us know. We are seeking Artists with things we can learn and works that haven't been seen before. It is all about art and all about us.
This show will feature functional, old school anarchy at work. Although in common parlance, anarchy may refer to the breakdown of order following the collapse of a state, the term, as used in this application does not imply nihilism, anomie or the total absence of rules, but rather an anti-authoritarian society that is based on the spontaneous order of free individuals in autonomous communities, operating on principles of mutual aid, voluntary association, and direct action. Anarchists are those who believe that all people are imbued with a sort of commonality, or common sense, that would allow for people to, in the absence of the government, come together in agreement to form a functional existence. Morality falls in line with functionality, and its forms differ. Anarchy does not reject ethics, or principles, but rather imposed morality.
''To live outside the law you must be honest.''
