Final Events at The Lab at Belmar

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Belmar LabHave you heard that the Lab at Belmar is joining forces with the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver starting in May? For the last six years the Lab has been the cultural heart of the Belmar shopping center with lots of interesting art exhibits, programs and lectures. They’ll be continuing all the same programs at their new location, but have a few special goodbye events going on for their last weekend in the Belmar space.

THURSDAY, APRIL 23
FEMINISM & CO.: ART, SEX, POLITICS
LIBIDO! DRIVE AND NO DRIVE – ADULTS ONLY – FREE PIZZA AND LIVE MUSIC WITH ROGER GREEN
Feminism & Co. is a program series at The Lab that explores issues relating to women and gender. Each evening tackles a different facet of modern feminism. These evenings address women’s – and men’s  – complicated relationship to art, politics and sexuality. MEN DRINK FREE during the program!
This adult-oriented evening features a solo-production by award-winning performance artist Holly Hughes, known for her satirical explorations of lesbian sex.  We’ll also hear from Ruth Morehouse, psychologist and certified sex therapist, on female health and education, who approaches the topic of women’s sexual drive (and lack thereof) from a therapeutic perspective.

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Alisha wrote earlier about Andrew Novick’s display up at The Lab at Belmar. This Friday evening at 5:30 Andrew and his collection will be featured on the Assignment American portion of CBS News! If you can’t tune in then (because you’ll be listening to the Local Shakedown) it will be up on the internet soon.

The Astounding Problem of Andrew Novick will actually be the last exhibit ever at the Lab, as they recently announced that they’ll be moving into the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver. The exhibit is up until May so go visit! On the last Saturday of each month at 3:00 pm Andrew will be giving gallery talks and he keeps bringing in new things to the exhibit!
