Opening on Independence Day, Eli Sudbrack from assume vivid astro focus (avaf) will present his BOFFO Fire Island Art Camp residency project at the beach. Throughout the weekend avaf will erect a tent on the beach by Cedar Walk where drawing workshops will be held. The tent’s customized structure showcases a body of work that continues avaf's projects like Homocrap #1 (MOCA LA, 2005) and Cyclop Trannies (Suzanne Geiss, 2011). Inspired by the evolving debates on gay politics and broader critical positions in relation with the contemporary political situation, avaf has collected imagery that documented different moments––Tom Cruise’s fundamentalist, scientologist rants and supposed repressed homosexuality, Bush’s Administration absurdity, increasing visibility of transgender politics and the problematics of mainstream women’s representation––and blended them into colorful, extravagant landscapes inhabited by characters of their own creation. avaf will bring into the tent a series of black and white "prints" for participants to color together. Sudbrack will also be sketching cyclops trannies drawings on their monograph's pages for people to paint on.
