*From March 10 through April 2, 2006, PARTICIPANT INC will present Ridykeulous. Curated by Nicole Eisenman and A.L. Steiner, the exhibition is based on their publication of the same name. Ridykeulous is a collaborative effort on the part of the two curators to subvert the languages, both theoretical and visual, which are commonly used to define Feminist or Lesbian art. By exploiting the style of a periodical and borrowing heavily from the aesthetic sensibilities of ‘zine culture, concert promo-flyers, and counter-culture manifestos, Ridykeulous purports to distill a cultural moment or tap into the blood and guts of an underground movement. However, using as a starting point cultural stereotypes about Lesbian art as some sort of “alternative” genre or movement, Ridykeulous seeks the erosion of such conceits and the attendant limitations placed on a culture forced to operate as an alternative, rather than a viable contributor to the conversation at large. Ridykeulous constructs a counter-narrative that no longer adheres to the rules and definitions of either approach.
Multiple works included in the exhibition engage with both the traditional art-historical position of the female subject and the modern commodification of female artists and their work. Ridykeulous proposes an inquiry into how these relationships are reversed, inverted, or made obsolete as the traditional “male gaze” is removed from the equation or at least overtaken by a “female gaze,” as is the case in works of art made by Lesbian artists and portraying female subjects. All of this is done with a sense of humor and a conscientious play with modes of representation present in multiple realms, such as pop culture, advertisting, and the visual arts.
As Eisenman and Steiner have noted about their publication:
Ridykeulous will tell you everything and nothing and plunge you into an abyss of fury. It is not nice. It is foolhardy. Ridykeulous is a confrontational mélange of recipes, poems, celebrity interviews, facts, fictions, accusations, jokes, sex, advice, merchandise, violence, puzzles, and luxurious artworks available and unavailable for your home. It is a publication with which to fulfill all of your lifestyle needs and decorate your communities. If you are one of those people questioning what is happening on planet earth, the womyn of Ridykeulous and a few of their male enemies purport to have the answer. We will meet your requirements and surpass your expectations, allowing us to serve you better.
Ridykeulous is created entirely by the power of intelligent design and Leo Koenig Gallery,

Sure wish I could be there! I'm sending Mrs. The Capt'n and Gree C. Hair as my personal spies. I hope you have a blast tonight, Corny. It sounds so good.
Team Shredder is with us in spirit, we put up a beautiful picture of Seamonkee walking on the street, arms full with a giant broken lamp, a cigarette, and some other stuff and god rays all around, so she's representing.

I should get moving, Boss Of Me has been calling my cellular telephone which means "where the fuck are you"
I would like to go to RIDYKEULOUS tonight, but I'm not sure. I'm confused. Will there be lesbians there? I'm having these weird flashbacks. Nobody loves me.

Was always confused by those Reese's ads where people get their food violated by strangers & their peanut butter & wind up liking it. Hope Ridykulous is nothing like that.
