The Velvet Hammer Burlesque Book Launch in LA
EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT


La Luz de Jesus Gallery
Los Angeles

February 23 2008

Michelle Carr's The Velvet Hammer offers a potent cocktail that mixes elements from classical American revues with a post-feminist attitude. To celebrate the recent release of her Gestalten-published book there will be an official launch alongside a photo exhibition in LA.

Their intricately choreographed and lovingly costumed performances have much more in common with the tradition of Vaudeville than with the sleazy table dancing of today. The Velvet Hammer Burlesque serves up true American beauty consisting of shapely curves, tattoos, tassels and lace, and fuelled by booze, smoke, rock'n'roll and the desire to live life on the wild side.

The Velvet Hammer Burlesque photographic exhibition will feature images spanning the entirety of the Burlesque troupe’s existence and features works by Richard Edson, Jody Ake, Manuel Vason, Andrea Oliviera, Hussein Katz, Marie Astrid Gonzalez, Austin Young, Victoria Renard, Susan Anderson, Deborah Samantha, Annie Sperling, Don Spiro, Valerie Davis, Patrick Morrisson, Kevin Merrill, W.T. Nelson, Charchi Stinson, Carmen Luceno and Scott Lindgren. The exhibition remains open until March 2.
