407 Broome St, Suite 7A
In the 19th century, the term “Demimonde†referred to the world of the theatre, of bohemia and of high-end sex-work: where style was traded for money and class transgression was possible- though often at great personal cost. As the American safety net falls apart, we’re once again turning to the Demimonde for consolation.
Molly Crabapple’s “Demimonde†explores this half-world of sex, ambition and artifice. It also marks the debut of her new series of large scale works.
Held at the sumptuous Arena Studios, with free champagne and free Dr. Sketchy’s burlesque drawing in the back room. Bring your sketchpads.
