<b>The Calming of Kali (<a href="http://www.dvsdetroit.com/heart/gnostic/" target="_blank">Gnostic Series</a>)</b> <br />
<br />
Kali Ma, called the “Dark Mother,” is the Hindu goddess of creation, preservation, and destruction. Her name, the feminine form of ka-la, primarily means “time” but also means “black” in honor of being the first creation before light and time itself. Traditionally depicted as the Destroyer calming her bloodlust by mounting her consort Shiva amidst the blood-soaked battlefield, a rare legend presents her as Maternal Protector with Shiva appearing amongst the destruction, not as her mate, but as an infant, crying aloud. Kali, hearing the distress of the helpless child, ceases her carnage to pick up and breast feed the infant, calming her ferocity.<br />

However, damnation may also reflect the eternal condemnation of self and the subtle abuse of one's mind against itself. It may reflect the emotional trappings within the haunting ghosts of the past. Perhaps the immeasurable tendrils that bind us to our deepest longings or deprivations.<br /><br />DAMNED is an exhibition of those extraordinary artists who know that without darkness, there is no light, that beauty does reside within the repulsive and enlightenment within our darkest hours. This art may be the one true reflection of self that make us balanced within our personal damnations...or possibly it is an expressive visual therapy...or simply a sign that there is something inexplicably damaged inside without comparison.<br /><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="txt_callfordarkart.png" src="http://thosedamnedartists.com/wp-content/themes/thesis_151/images/txt_callfordarkart.png" /></p><br />Artists of all mediums from anywhere in the world are welcome to submit their work for DAMNED. There are no restrictions on genre or content but the more beautifully disturbing or powerfully introspective, the better.<br /><br />For further information and to submit your art, please visit:<br /><br /><strong><a href="http://www.thatdamnedshow.com/call">http://www.thatdamnedshow.com/call</a></strong><br /><br />Submission deadline is <strong>September 25 2009</strong> and there are no fees for submitting.<br /><br /><div align="center"><img src="http://thatdamnedshow.com/txt_exhibitionnights.png" alt="http://thatdamnedshow.com/txt_exhibitionnights.png" /><br /></div><br />On October 29 2009 in Detroit, there will be a congregation of the most controversial fine art artists from across the nation and overseas to display their darkest of creations at DAMNED II. From the famous to the freshest of talent, this ominous assembly will exhibit a diversity of artistries from the deeply depraved to the intensely introspective guaranteed to intrigue, disturb, captivate or repulse. This is not Halloween-themed art but a submergence within the shadowed realms of consciousness within an intimate ambiance of haunting ethereal soundscapes, intimate gallery vignettes and cirque-inspired stage performances.<br /><br />Then, on Devil's Night (October 30), we celebrate this artistic submergence with an intimate six-course dinner of aphrodisiac delights followed by a grand ball of masquerade and dance within the milieu of exotic rhythms, floor performances and art. To nightcap the ball evening, we now welcome the sensuous noir cabaret sounds of Jill Tracy (<a href="http://www.jilltracy.com/">www.jilltracy.com</a>) in a rare midnight solo performance.<br /><br />Current confirmed special guests artist for 2009 include HR Giger, Chad M Ward, Christian Correra, Jose Manuel Schmill, Rich Rethorn, Paul Rumsey, John U Abrahamson, William B Hand, JL Robbins, Eli Livingston, Stephen Blickenstaff, Janina Magnussen, Peggy Wauters, Aunia Kahn, Brian Viveros and dozens of other artists from all over the world!<br /><br />To see the 2008 DAMNED Exhibition, please visit:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thatdamnedshow.com/call">http://www.thatdamnedshow.com/gallery</a><br /><br />DAMNED II - A Dark Fine Art Exhibition<br />and Formal Masquerade Ball wsg/Jill Tracy<br />October 29 & 30 2009 - Detroit, MI<br />Tangent Gallery / Hasting Street Ballroom<br /><a href="http://www.thatdamnedshow.com/">http://www.thatdamnedshow.com</a><br /><br />Friend us on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Detroit-MI/DAMNED/87690854779">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thatdamnedshow">MySpace</a>!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thatdamnedshow.com/"><img alt="http://www.thatdamnedshow.com/damned2flyer1_front.jpg" src="http://www.thatdamnedshow.com/damned2flyer1_front.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div class="zemanta-pixie"><img src="http://img.zemanta.com/pixy.gif?x-id=e021cf8d-4244-8431-b8f1-20dc7774d098" alt="" class="zemanta-pixie-img" /></div></div>DVShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06362320391144472688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241996360811517251.post-15070964353511816232009-07-17T05:40:00.001-04:002009-07-17T05:40:14.329-04:00THIS WEEKEND: DVS @ Marquis de Sade Ball<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><p><img height='600' width='483' border='0' src='http://www.dvsdetroit.com/a/marquis_flyer.jpg'/></p><br /><p>On July 17 and 18 2009, the Society of Erotic Art (formerly the<br />MidWest Society of Erotic Photography) will exhibit an intimate<br />showcase of fine fetish art as part of the festivities at the Marquis<br />de Sade Ball (<a target='_blank' href='http://www.marquisdesadeball.com/'>www.marquisdesadeball.com</a>).
