On June 10, 2007 the literary multimedia webzine Mad Hatter's Review (MHR) will host their first Live-action Multimedia Fundraising Extravaganza at Gallery Bar, an innovative new venue/art space in Manhattan's Lower East Side. The event will consist of live music, dancing, readings by MHR contributors and guests, screenings of video art and animations plus a possible special guest or two, infamous Mad Hatters' facoctails at an attractive discount, and edible morsels (while they last). There will also be a silent auction and an OPEN READING at the end of the featured performances.
Mad Hatters' Review is a unique online multimedia magazine featuring edgy, experimental, gutsy, thematically broad, psychologically and philosophically sophisticated writings, music, and art. The magazine specializes in collaborative ventures, bringing writers together with artists and composers to create a full sensory reading experience. Poetry, fiction, non-fiction, dramatic pieces and experimental whatnots are displayed adjacent to images of original artwork and accompanied by musical compositions or authors' recorded recitations.
The evenings' live musical offerings range from the experimental adventure of an improvised duet by Ben Tyree (acoustic guitar) and Will Martina (cello) and the 21st Century Composed (Jazzy) Improvisation group The Push-Pull Quartet (Ben Rush Miller & friends) to rocking, rolling, and swinging international music for DANCING by The Alphabet City AllStars.
There will be a showing of video art and animations by Jean Detheux, Jeff Lowe, Orin Buck, Debra Di Blasi, New Zealand film makers, and possibly others. Poetry and Prose Readers will include Eric Darton, Ranbir Sidhu, Rich Murphy, Tsipi Keller, Jason Price Everett, Urayoan Noel, and Andrew Taylor. The work of these authors can or will be found in the pages Mad Hatters'.
There will also be a Photo/Art Slideshow, featuring works by Joel Simpson, Jean Detheux, Peter Schwartz, Tantra Bensko, Dee Rimbaud, Roz Dimon, Brian Hutzell, et al. A Silent Auction will include donations of books by Michael Rothenberg, Vernon Frazer, Denis Emorione, Burt Kimmelman, George Held, Tsipi Keller, Vanessa Place, Stephanie Strickland, Debra Di Blasi, G.
