It makes perfect sense that Justin Bond, that self-proclaimed “tranny witch” who gleefully mocked religion during his days in the duo Kiki & Herb, would select an ultra- blasphemous film for his QUEER/ART/FILM selection. Adapted from an Aldous Huxley novel, Ken Russell’s 1971 cult-classic THE DEVILS stars Vanessa Redgrave as a hunchbacked Mother Superior in 17th century France, whose sexual obsession with a handsome priest (Oliver Reed), spirals out of control. The film was considered so shocking when it premiered in 1971 that it received an X rating, and was sliced by the censors. But don’t worry, we will be screening the full, uncut version of the film. Expect lesbianism, torture, orgies, masturbation, and incredible production design from another controversial British filmmaker — Derek Jarman! EXPECT TO BE SHOCKED!

(1971, 35mm, 111min)

Justin on THE DEVILS:

When I was very young I fell in love with Vanessa Redgrave. The film roles she played deeply stirred my imagination… Mary, Queen of Scots, Isadora Duncan, and Lillian Hellman’s best friend Julia to name a few. So many of her films I wanted to see weren’t shown in the small town in Maryland where I grew up, or on TV. The advent of VCRs opened a whole world of film to me. I scrambled to see as many subversively glamorous movies as I could. One of them was THE DEVILS. At the time I was a closeted Tranny Witch living in a stiflingly oppressive, conservative town. As soon as I put on THE DEVILS, I knew I was watching something “evil” that I shouldn’t be exposed to and I was thrilled. THE DEVILS was my first Ken Russell film. He lacerated the sacred monsters of the church, was blatantly homoerotic, sympathized with the witches and was stylishly camp. The production designer, Derek Jarman, would latter go on to make one of my all-time favorite films, Jubilee. But I was asked to choose a film that influenced my world view during my formative years, In that regard THE DEVILS definitely takes the communion wafer.

2010, or as so many of my friends have dubbed it, 20-femme, is shaping up to be a beautiful year.

I rang in the new decade with a huge house party on New Years Eve where I unwittingly forgot to put on music, so basically from 9 pm until 6 am hundreds of people were engaged in conversation in my loft.  It was heavenly.  We are living through such difficult and uncertain times economically and even for some, spiritually, that people are being forced to look at their lives and their ways of addressing things in new, hopefully inspired ways.  How do we move forward?  I think the first thing we have to do is to start talking with each other.  We aren’t going to find answers by turning to the TV or even the internet, but by discovering solutions and alternative ways of thriving within our own communities. We need to spend time feeding each other, drinking together, playing and getting to know each other in more intimate, meaningful ways.

I am meditating on the idea of 20-femme as the return to intimacy.

These past two weeks I’ve seen amazing work presented by my fellow artists here in the Big Apple. The creative output is amazing right now.  The Coil Festival at PS 122 is currently giving us the remarkable Edgar Oliver in his mesmerizing one-person show, East 10th St. Last week I was blown away by Miguel Gutierrez and The Powerful People in their latest piece, “Last Meadow” at The Abrons Atrs Center, Big Art Group presented an amazing installation at The New Museum last night and Emily Nepon aka “Killer Sideburns” and friends were truly “under the radar” in a warehouse space in Brooklyn last weekend in a piece entitled “Between Two Worlds or, Who Loved You Before You Were Mine”  (A show about yearning for ancestors, the empty spaces left by AIDS deaths & the ways the next generation is called to fill them.  A show about community, memory, consensual possession, desire, gender, sexuality, heteronormativity, glitter and tchotchkes.  In a culture of chosen families, which desires are inherited? -taken from the show’s flyer) based on The Dybbuk.

Queer culture is thriving and growing and being supported by an increasingly mixed audience while “cis” culture appears to be  increasingly irrelevant and shallow.

Today I decided to revisit one of the more beautiful gallery shows I saw last year.

FLOATING A BOULDER: 
WORKS BY FELIX GONZALEZ-TORRES AND JIM HODGES

currently on view through
JANUARY 27 at the Flag Art Foundation in Chelsea.

If you have a chance go and see it.

Earlier this Fall Jim Hodges asked me to write an essay for the catalogue.  I thought I’d put it on my blog in hopes of encouraging you to go and see this remarkable exhibition.

Here it is:

One of the luxuries of living for an extended period of time is that you get to be a “witness to history”, to get a feeling for the ebbs and flows, the repetitions, the constant tug of war between opposing forces.  You get the opportunity to discover that, if  Benjamin Franklin’s theory that insanity is repeating the same actions and expecting different results, mankind is completely bonkers.  Hopefully, in spite of this discovery, you’ll be able to find a place of comfort or a glimmer of inspiration that will keep your heart and mind in an aspirational mode.

 

In an essay entitled 1990: L.A., “The Gold Field Felix Gonzalez-Torres, a witness to history, recounts a series of disheartening statistics about the  state of the US economy and the choices being made by the government on behalf of “the people”, the savings and loan bailout, trickle down economics, the stalemate on healthcare, the destruction of the environment… He also discusses the trivialities “the people” decide to focus on: the funding of “immoral” art, Ketchup as a vegetable, two men kissing… The “strategy employed by the right of deflecting meaning by using charged symbolic images”.

 

As we survey the cultural landscape we have carved out for ourselves in the 19 years since it can be a most disheartening exercise.  We have just spent billions of dollars to bail out the savings and loan industry, more americans are uninsured than ever before, we are at war in the middle east, global warming continues unchecked, there is still no substantive federal funding for art and there is no cure for AIDS.

 

It would seem that problem solving ain’t our forté.

 

And yet, there are insistent and unrelenting strands of gold that are inextricably woven through the fabric of our culture deflecting and rejecting the shit our society chooses to invest it’s energy, time and resources maintaining. Within the mire there remains a core of belief in the possibilities of a stronger nature, a fiercer heart.  The power of beauty -or of candy- resonates through time.

 

Art and resistence are a hand-me-down game.  Soldiers fall, witches tire, color fades, blood dries up and turns to dust until along comes a new imperative for creation and that blood is mixed with water and becomes vital once again.

 

I’ve been a witness to history too.  So has Jim Hodges.  So have you.

 

Those of us who lived through the 80s and early 90s (a time when it seemed the world would surely end), those of us who lived through the 80s and early 90s ( a time we discovered that heartbreak doesn’t kill), those of us who lived through the 80s and early 90s (when two men loving was still not only an act of love but of defiance of time and logic), those of us who lived through the 80s and early 90s (trumped the body and the system).

 

Funny how romance, once so deadly has now proven itself to be, in a certain sense, immortal.  The act of loving killed, the art of loving remains pristine and wrapped in plastic on gallery floors, time keeps ticking, perfectly synched between the hearts of the living and the dead.  Flowers and mirrors, words and numbers call out to each other through space. Myriad angels are resurfacing, opening their throats and gently blowing their songs.  Across the threatened landscapes they are floating a boulder and on the wind we hear change… change… change…

Last night I was on a flight from New York to San Francisco and I read a tweet  posted by my friend Julian Fleisher concerning the vote against Gay Marriage in the New York Senate which sent me on a rampage of Twitters that cause quite a stir.  I thought I would put them all in order on my blog.  Glenn Belvario compared me to Valerie Solanos -which I took as a great compliment.  I haven’t shot anyone yet and I hope I never will, but I would not be adverse to forming a new version of S.C.U.M. -The Society to Cut Up Marriage!

Here is Julain’s tweet which got it all started followed by my response.

@Julien Fleisher  Hope my straight friends in NY take this issue seriously. Consider not getting married until we all can. Watch how fast the law changes…

@mxjustinbond  I’ve been saying that for years, but straight people are selfish cunts or we’d have gay marriage already.

They say nice, supportive things because it makes them feel good and they think they’re being kind and then they step on your throat. They step on your throat on the way to the alter because although they “support you” they have to live in the “real world”. So have a drink.  Make cynical jokes. Sing some cheesey ass song for them at their wedding and then wait until they have a couple of  ”adorable” children and get swept up in their entitled mainstream paradigm and see how much time they have to give to you.

By then they’re resenting the fact that you just won’t let it go and be happy. You’re to negative! Why not just relax? Actually all this negative agita is affecting the children. We don’t think you should come around anymore.

“We’re not college age anymore, we don’t really believe in all that naive stuff. Just let it go.”

“Why worry about getting married, you’re single anyway? Gay relationships don’t last. Not like ours -we’ve been struggling through this for years on account of the children….”

Then a few years and many tearful phone calls later…

“Oh my God, gay friend. It didn’t work out! We’re divorcing!”

“I need my gay friends so much more than ever! You are so lucky you can’t get married!!!”

We have to start aggressively picking fights socially with every straight person we know to shame them into doing something about this.

If we’re to be subjected to the tyranny of the majority. We’ve got to make each and every one of them feel personally responsible for taking care of this problem as often as possible… bring it up OFTEN!!!

Boycott married homes. When invited out, inquire if married people will be there, then decline.

Ask people to please not introduce their partner as their husband or wife -it’s offensive. Better to say, ‘Is this your friend?” NEVER let the word marriage or any of it’s derivatives pass without reminding people how thoughtless it is to bring up such a callous, hurtful topic.

Any straight person who does not actively support gay marriage is our enemy.

Personally, I don’t believe in marriage, but if they do, they should be held accountable for my lack of one!

After we get all these people to do the right thing, then we do everyone involved a great big favor and move on to something more interesting.

The church has been our enemy from the get go. They’re siphoning money to pay for gay genocide in Uganda. They’ve been sponsoring hatred of gays, and the oppression women nonstop, ad nauseum, worldwide for millenia.  It’s the responsibility of decent members of these organizations take on their leaders and hold them accountable for their vicious acts or barbarity! Remind them of this.

Get decent loving straight people to back us up on this and everybody wins. Marriage doesn’t do anyone any favors. Get rid of it. But in order to get rid of it we’ve got get it first!!!  This is not about destroying the family. It’s about destroying archaic institutions used to maintain a vicious, cruel sadistic power structure designed to keep the queer trouble makers and critical thinkers who aren’t willing to be blind followers either disempowered or, better yet, dead.  SO until we actually have gay marriage, we’ll never be free of it.

People who don’t step up to the plate and take a stand are passive haters. I don’t want to have to feign compassion for one more person who tells me they feel awful about the way things are as they stand idly by. As if by saying they care it makes it true. FUCK THAT! Stand up to the bullies in your churches, on your streets, in your government or be honest with yourself that you actually only want to feel good about yourself while doing NOTHING to help.

From Now on “friends” can’t let “friends” hang on to the delusion that they are compassionate if they stand by and idly watch their henchmen run the show.

So the first thing single straight people can do is boycott marriage until everyone is free to marry.  And at the very least people who are already married should publicly “suspend” their marriages until further notice!!!!  AND BE SURE AND MAKE A POINT OF BEING LOUD ABOUT IT!

This has been a most astonishing week I must say.

After returning from a whirlwind weekend in Warsaw I was pretty exhausted when I woke up monday morning but I got the craziest lift by reading a blog called “Left Coast Nose” written by Rita Long. In her blog, Rita wrote a piece imagining what fragrance I was wearing in the photograph of me taken by Joshua Jordan when I was named one of New York’s 50 Most beautiful People by Paper Magazine:

The scent she chose was Eau d’Hermes. I immediately decided that since I was so jetlagged and was feeling a bit blue I was in need of a lark so I texted my friend Jon Jon Battles to meet me at Hermes because I simply had to try this fragrance!

For some reason I’ve been obsessed with scent more that usual recently.

For nearly two years I barely wore any scent or deodorant at all because I was in love with a young man who well… to put it bluntly, kind of stunk. Not to me! I thought he smelled divine. But the pheromones we generated were a bit much for some of my girlfriends -including Jon Jon. My pandrogynous goat boy and I broke up in the spring but it wasn’t until this autumn when I took my winter clothes out of storage and got the whiff of the past, as it were, that I realized I need to take the plunge and move into a new fragrance paradigm.

So I’ve been playing with various combinations of deodorants, candles, colognes, perfumes and incenses etc. in hopes of finding a new signature scent.

Two weeks ago I attended the opening of “Stuart Sherman: Nothing Up My Sleeve” curated by Jonathan Berger at The Participant Gallery. The show featured one of my favorite people, Vaginal Davis. Miss Davis never fails to be engaging, observant and fully realized. I WORSHIP, just had to throw that in.

Anyway, one of the pieces in the show was a custom blended fragrance called “Clifton” by Tony Clifton and I started talking with Participant’s Lia Gang about the idea of creating one’s own scent. As we spoke I began to get really excited. It seems that it would be entirely possible to do -very Marcel Duchamp as Rose Selavy, very Sarah Jessica Parker. My friends at spank also are preparing to launch a scent. There’s something in the air! (Sorry)

Rose Selavy's Eau de Voilette by Marcel Duchamp

“The smell of oil and incense fill the room in this adobe hut where on the table lies the body if a man..”

That’s a line from a song about Che Guevarra written by Judy Collins, it just came to mind…

So , long story short, I decided that once I get through with all my upcoming shows and the holidays are over I’m going to commence working on creating a signature fragrance of my own!

Which is WHY it was not only flattering but it was KISMET that Rita Long, The Left Coast Nose, should choose to write a blog about how she imagined I would smell.

Curious to know what someone would fantasize my scent to be I met Jon Jon at the Hermes Boutique on Madison Avenue and after a few air kisses, some girl talk and giggles, I got down to business and spritzed myself with Eau d’Hermes, gave it a few seconds and then took a whiff.

Honestly. I didn’t know what to expect. When I flew back from Warsaw I put on some Infusion D’Iris from Prada while I was in Duty Free because it smells like these sugar-free candies my late, diabetic grandmother used to give me in church and I find it very comforting to feel the presence of someone loving and benevolent on the other side when I’m stuck in ecomony on a long haul flight. So, to be fair, I was in “Grandma on a plane ‘Infusion D’Iris’ mode “when I put on the Eau d’Hermes.

After giving it some time to settle I let Jon Jon give it a go. We allowed a few minutes considered silence between us and then we both decided it smelled like…how do I say this delicately… well… it smelled like ass. Not nasty, dirty ass -it smelled like sexy, funky, pheromone ass. In fact, it smelled remarkably like the stinky, pandrogynous goat boy I was trying so hard to forget about. I kept the scent on for the rest of the day.

Later that evening I had rehearsal with the Pixie Harlots for our upcoming Christmas Extravaganza. By the time rehearsal was over the fragrance had grown on me to such an extent that I decided to invite my Ex to be a part of the show!

If you’d like to get a whiff yourself. Book your tickets NOW!!!

Poster for The Song is YOU is Warsaw

I’m sitting in a gorgeous hotel room in Warsaw having just returned from THE SONG IS YOU, a music festvial where I’ve been invited to play this weekend.  I brought Our Lady J with me and we’re looking forward to the show tomorrow night.

In case you didn’t know it today is TRANSGENDER REMEMBRANCE DAY. (FYI this past year an average of 19 transwomen were murdered per month -up %50 from last year)

As soon as we got to the venue tonight our hostess, Anna Ptak, mentioned that there was a Trangender Rememrance Day March going on here in Warsaw and we grabbed our drinks and jumped into a cab.  I guess you can do that here, just grab a JACK DANIELS AND COKE and jump into a taxi.  I’m always amazed at how CIVILIZED the rest of the world can be in comparison to the states.  And to think that not all that long ago they were living under the thumb of “UNCLE STALIN”.  Well to be fair, we had “Uncle Ronnie” -and YES, I do think it’s a fair analogy.  While we’re remembering the transgendered, let’s not forget that RONALD REAGAN was responsible for genocide against all sorts of minorities in the 80’s.  A RADICAL position to take?  Not really.  But you kind of had to be there.

Unfortunately for us by the time we got to where the demonstration was supposed to be taking place it was over, on the upside we managed to get back to the venue just in time to refill our drinks for the show.  Such an interesting night of music!  We were in a smokey basement (SMOKING INDOORS!) full of gorgeous people listening to a French singer by the name of  ”RED” who was singing some crazy blues that took me deep into a VOODOO CAVE out of which I only moments ago emerged.  RED and his drummer Tomia Marinescu were casting some SPELLS, Honey.  At one point RED, who had been using a pint glass to make a steel guitar effect, dropped the glass and started stomping on the BROKEN GLASS in order to make a percussion effect.   Next thing I know people start dropping their glasses in time with the music.  The sound of shattering glass filled the air.  It was awesome!

I’ve been seeing “RED” this entire day because on the airplane over I started “THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF RED” which was recommended to me by my friend Michael Hart. Coincidentally I am wearing Chanel’s SCARLETT lipstick AND we’re in a formerly RED country. WERQUE!

The next performer was this man named Chedalia Tazartes.  I can’t even describe what he did except to say that he put me into a trance that had me feeling like I was in an OPIUM INDUCED DREAM -and believe me, I know what those are like.  I wasn’t the only one though because when I opened my eyes I noticed several VERY GOOD LOOKING MEN were laying on the floor in the same state.  It was very difficult for Our Lady J and I to restrain ourselves from lying down with them.  Come to think of it, I don’t know why we didn’t.  OH YEAH!  Because we’re LADIES that’s why!  Hellu!

Our hotel is right next to the Polish Presidential Palace which is currently inhabited by someone who has been described to me as a conservative HOMOPHOBIC asshole.  I have promised several people that I will HANG MY ASSHOLE out the window of the hotel in protest of his policies and I fully intend to honor that commitment just as soon as the sun rises!

There’s been so much POETRY IN THE AIR.  We’re staying on New World Street.  On one end of the Avenue is a nightclub called POLITICAL CRITIQUE (I love that as a name of a nightclub, it really kills me) and halfway between The Asshole President’s Palace  and Political Critique is the pillar containing CHOPIN’S HEART.  Then just around the corner is “Uncle Stalin’s” Palace of Culture.  For some reason all of this made me think of the relativity of fascism.

I don’t know how many of you are aware of it but this week Donald Carcieri, the conservative governor of Rhode Island, vetoed FUNERAL RIGHTS legislation that would have allowed same sex couples to claim their partner’s bodies at the mortuary and bury them.  He said he wouldn’t allow that to happen because it is part of a “disturbing trend of the incremental erosion” of HETEROSEXUAL MARRIAGE.

That is one of the SICKEST, most CYNICAL and HEARTLESS  things I have ever heard of.  WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? And why do they have power?  Oh yeah, remember “Uncle Stalin”?  They work real hard at getting it and WILL STOP AT NOTHING to keep it. DONALD CARCIERI is, and I say this with no amount of hyperbole whatsoever, A FASCIST!!!  We have got to start calling people out on this shit!  And let’s keep in mind that anyone -heterosexual or homosexual- who would vote for someone like him is a FASCIST sympathizer!

Then there are all these sick, hateful fucks who are throwing around the terms SOCIALIST and COMMUNIST.  Most of them don’t even know the meaning of the words.

WELL, I know what a FASCIST is.

Let’s start putting that word into its proper and very apropos context.  These conservative wing nuts who would deny people health care, or the right to bury their kin are FASCISTS!  Let’s start being clear with our language.  Currently the use of the word  TEA-BAGGERS is often used when describing a growing number of  reactionary, highly politicized right-wing radicals.  Let’s put the word tea-bag back in it’s proper place in the cupboard and start using the word that truly and properly describes people like Governor Carcieri.  FASCIST.  There is a difference between a tea-bag and a fascist. Tea-bags don’t deny people health care, tea-bags aren’t racist, homophobic or misogynist, and tea-bags do not refuse to allow people to claim the bodies of their loved ones and bury them.  FASCISTS DO!!!

PHEW! Glad I got that off my chest.  Now I need a cup of tea!

If you’re in Warsaw tomorrow night come to THE SONG IS YOU.  Our lady J and I will be arriving fresh from visiting CHOPIN’S HEART.

Hi Everyone,

I’ve been the worst at updating this blog but my New Year’s resolution is to get better and better!!!

This Fall has been crazy busy.

I’ve been working very hard on so many projects. One that’s currently on display is “COLD WATER”, the gallery show I co-curated with Hilton Al’s that is up at La MamA Galleria until Dec 6th.

The show is full of truly remarkable artists including Rufus Wainwright, Tilda Swinton, Thurston Moore, Chris Tanner, Theo Kogan, Jemma Nelso, Caden Manson, Kate Bornstein, Lady Rizo,
Leslie, Thornton and Darryl Turner.

I have five watercolors on display ONE OF WHICH HAS SOLD!!!!! which is very exciting to me being an economically challenged tranny whose favorite color is GREEN. The self-portrait on my home page and on the cover of my EP Pink Slip is still available.

So Stop by and check out COLD WATER. We have wonderful catalogues for sale with beautiful shots of the artworks and HOT SHOTS from TRICKLE, the fundraising party we threw at the HOSE.

The benefit was so gorgeous because we had live nude models, terrific dj’s and a couple dozen ART TARDS sitting on the dance floor drawing. I love it when you can combine sex and art live and in person! We need to manifest more of that combination!

FYI:

My next live performance will be Nov. 21st at Klub Powiekszenie in Warsaw with Our Lady J. It will be my first visit to Poland so I’m quite excited.

My next show in NYC will be Nov. 29th at Joe’s Pub where I will be revisiting my “Ladies of AM Radio” show. So many people couldn’t get in the first time and it was so much fun I decided to do it again.

Keep an eye out for info about my upcoming Holiday Extravaganza at the Abrons Art Center! Pics and info coming soon!!!

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!!!

Blessed Be. mx Bond

I went over to Butt magazine to be interviewed by Adam Baran. While I was in there he started showing me a mock-up of the upcoming “straight” issue of the magazine and we got to taking about bears. Adam said that in order to be on-trend a lot of bears are suddenly going straight. I just laughed it off because, even though I love bears, my taste runs more toward manorexic, purse-toting femme boys. I didn’t really take the comment very seriously. But later that night I was talking to a friend of mine, who some might describe as -let’s face it- a bear. And as his opening gambit he began telling me that his life had “taken a strange turn lately” and that he was currently “sleeping with three women”. How predictable. (yawn)

Anyways, here’s the link to my interview about my new EP, which you can purchase at CD Baby:
