Gio Black Peter (born Giovanni Paolo Andrade Guevara) is a New York based performance artist as well as an ardent visual artist. He examines text and subject, truth and fakery, rebellion and authority. His subversive work has quickly earned him a name in the downtown New York scene of young emerging artists who participate in today’s dialogue about the deconstruction of high profile, white box presentation and the desire to raise art awareness. At the core of Black Peter’s thinking is the idea that the life of art depends on the viewer’s willingness to suspend his or her rational thoughts and play into the believability of lies and realistic falsehoods. Familiarity and a seductive aesthetic draw the viewer back to Black Peter’s art- a visceral exploration of vulnerability and self-reflection.

Issue No. 234: Lee Adams will guest-curate TAG E-Zine
 |
| Lee Adams as Minotaur |
For the past 25 years Lee Adams has been living and working in the fecund, esoterotic cracks between performance art and night culture, philosophy and dissidence. From strip clubs, tunnels, pissoirs, power stations and slaughterhouses to palaces, churches, galleries, opera houses, theatres and ruins, from New York to Naples and Berlin to the Mohave Desert he has staged elaborate acts of defiance, excess and abandon. He has collaborated with a wide range of maverick artists including Ron Athey, Vaginal Davies, Bruce LaBruce, Kira O'Rielly, Peter Christopherson, Franko B, Manuel Vason, Gio Black Peter, Julie Tolentino, Slava Mogutin and Brian Kenny, Othon Mataragas, Ernesto Tomasini and Hector De Gregorio.
Lee will guest curate for TAG (tagzeen.com) from Monday 2/18 - 2/24.
