Fake Art for Posers is
the title of a benefit evening for Accabonac House on Wednesday
August 31 at Ashawagh
Hall, 780 Springs Fireplace Road in
East Hampton. The night begins with drinks and music at 6
PM and continues with a silent auction at 8 PM -- in keeping
with Accabonac House's mission to bring great work to the
Springs, the evening is free.
Kyp Malone (TV
on the Radio, Ice
Balloons) will perform a special solo set and Invisible
Familiars bring
their dreamy garage sound to Ashawagh Hall.
The 2nd Annual
Accabonac House show/silent auction benefit brings together
some of bedrock of American music and arts underground.
Artists contributing works and attending include Gibby
Haynes (Butthole
Surfers) and Tim
Kerr (Big
Boys), pioneers
of the American punk rock DIY scene in Austin that has since
permeated almost every aspect of American Culture and for
better or for worse became the "indy" music scene, join
fellow old school Austin alums Sean
Powell (Fuckemos, Ice
Balloons, Surfbort)
and Abe
Kinney, as they bring the psychedelic Lone Star to the
East End. Jim
Tozzi (PFFR), Marty
Cacic, Ian
Kittredge, and Judith
Supine, the artist who scaled the Queensborough Bridge
to install a sculpture...and always puts it where it's not
supposed to go... round out the night.

Accabonac House is
a year-round interdisciplinary artists retreat dedicated to
the memory of Lisa
de Kooning,
who spent part of her childhood in the house, and located in
the heart of Historic Springs/East Hampton. Lisa father, the
Abstract Expressionist Willem
de Kooning, traded a painting for the property in 1961,
which served as his first studio in Springs as
well as a home for his only child, Lisa, and her mother, the
illustrator, Joan
Ward.
Proceeds from
the evening support Accabonac House's mission to nurture the
creative process by providing an opportunity for artists to
work alone or collaboratively without interruption in a
supportive environment. Accabonac House offers residencies
to playwrights, actors, directors, musicians, dancers,
filmmakers and artists to foster mutual inspiration across
different disciplines and generate new work.
