In the 19th century, the term “Demimonde” referred to the world of the theatre, of bohemia and of high-end sex-work: where style was traded for money and class transgression was possible- though often at great personal cost. As the American safety net falls apart, we’re once again turning to the Demimonde for consolation.Molly Crabapple’s “Demimonde” explores this half-world of sex, ambition and artifice. It also marks the debut of her new series o flarge scale works.
Held at the sumptuous Arena Studios, with free champagne and free Dr. Sketchy’s burlesque drawing in the back room. Bring your sketchpads.
