open air installation opening & performance Tobi Möhring & Michael Philips 26 October 2006, 8pm Le Petit Versailles 346 E Houston St, Manhattan, New York About the ongoing process of gentrification and the loss of free spaces for diverse and non mainstream ways of living, with a special focus on the struggle against forced gender stereotypes. * Does communication between the parallel worlds of mainstream and alternative cultures make sense? * Or have these two worlds so different interests, function in such different systems, that one of them will always be a threat for the other and the only option is a permanent struggle? * What would be the price for assimilating into the system?
