Join the truly glorious creatures of SHABOOM—artists Silky Shoemaker, Paul Soileau, and Lex Vaughn—for a special one-night-only screening with longtime collaborator Samara Halperin. Laugh, cry, and scream with Samara Halperin’s short films and videos, many in stop-motion animation. Find true love with Todd the TONKA cowboy on his hitchhiking adventures through the Texas desert. Watch hotdogs get dressed and undressed in one another's arms. Witness SHABOOM running afoul of all codes of decency and decorum!
This evening is presented on the occasion of SHABOOM's first institutional solo show "Presumed Ignorant" at Art Omi in the Hudson Valley, on view through January 26, 2025. Embracing slapstick, SHABOOM presents scenes that teeter on the edge of disaster and teem with slips, flops, and the cheapest of pleasures.
