Red Velvet Curtain Cult presents:
VIRGIN BRIDE by Tom Estes
Friday 22nd May 7pm-10.30pm
Benjamin Franklin House36 Craven StreetLondon WC2N 5NF
Following on from their sell out shows at the Whitechapel Art Gallery, The Red Velvet Curtain Cult shall inhabit and haunt the Benjamin Franklin House with site specific art, performance, film, oddities and happenings from 13 artists. Set in a Georgian house where layers of history unravel from behind panelled walls and deep-set fireplaces whisper ashes of deeds past, the artists will engage with and draw inspiration from the history of the space, including its most famous inhabitant Benjamin Franklin, he of keys and kites….
Expect spinning tops, glass armonicas, trepanning games, story telling, ceremonial mythologies, muffled whisperings, cyclical wanderings, all serenaded by the sound of a haunting electric cello…

DIRECTIONS
Influenced by portraiture, comics, Graff and sk8 culture, Inland Empire based artist Matthew Montecino’s large acrylic and charcoal on wood paintings explore the relationship between mind and body through image, text, color, and gesture. Drawing a thin line between youthfulness and maturity this new work tackles the trials, torments and swagger of a masculine male’s mind at work and his everyday existence in an ever changing world that sometimes appears recycled more often than not.
