Flea Circus will make Chicago Premiere Feb 26-28, 2009.


I'll be performing the Chicago premiere of the Acme Miniature Flea Circus in February at a great museum/arts center. The Intuit, which is the center for intuitive and outsider art. Kind of like the Museum of Visionary Art in Baltimore or the Museum of Jurassic Technology in L.A., the Intuit celebrates who have a singular dedication to their work, and an amazing amount of creativity and devotion to their artistic vision.

I'll be appearing in conjunction with an exhibit by the works of self-taught Chicago artist Joseph Yoakum.

Intuit will present the Acme Miniature Flea Circus as a tribute to Chicago self-taught artist, Joseph Yoakum. The work of Joseph Yoakum will be featured in a solo exhibition from January 16 – June 27, 2009 at Intuit. Yoakum’s visionary landscapes were inspired by his world travels, and served as a record of his memories. Adam Gertsacov, a graduate of the Ringling Bros. Clown College and owner of the Acme Miniature Flea Circus, will bring his stars, Midge and Madge, to Intuit. Part sideshow, part exhibit, and a whole lot of fun! Midge and Madge will pull golden chariots, walk a high wire, and blast out of a cannon. According to the New York Press, the performance will “amaze and astound even the most cynical and nearsighted of visitors. WATCH! As Midge and Madge pull a tiny chariot! GASP! As they frolic on the tightrope!”

Please indicate which performance you would like to attend.
