Saturday night August 11 an event so creative and warm was held, called the Bonfire of the Travesties. Artists from the area and beyond brought their art that was unfinished, undone or just a mistake in the studio. Michele Post and Carl Johnson took an idea hatched last year and made it a reality. Artists sacrificed bad art, aborted art and stuff that hung around. They were sacrificed to the Art Monkey
Some of it was actually auctioned off for up to $11! Special guests were the Lawrence TWP Fire Department!!! They were cool. One of the movies
has Carl talking about his "bad" art and featured the sounds of the Fire Department arriving. After the Fire Department left, the
bonfire continues with Liz describing one of Carl's less then fine pieces. Next Michele tells the story of Redman and he glides down..down till he burns up and Carl and Michelle thank all who came out and enjoyed the event.
There was a nice spread of food, beer and laughs all around. Here are some pictures and a movie of this event for the Post Modern age. Watch as the fire is lit. The1st movie below has Carl describing The Bonfire of the Travesties and the 2nd is him discussing the bonfire is a success . I hope you enjoy this part of my blog. It was fun to relive the fun. Now its time to go.
