When we interviewed Mx Justin Vivian Bond last year during a photo shoot for the 2011 Gala, we joked about releasing a PS122-branded lipstick for the PS122 “lifestyle.”

And now Mx Justin Vivian Bond is releasing a perfume line, The Afternoon Of A Faun for for Etat Libre D’Orange. The perfume highlights the Mx in Justin’s name. “To be a Mx is to be sexy, earthy, transgressive, and not just a little dangerous. Mx is for those who have achieved the golden mean – to be both a man and a woman – to be a Mx is to be Everything.”

Justin also has a show opening this weekend called Snow Angel at Below 54!

Congrats to PS122 artists Annie-B Parson, John Kelly & Coco Fusco for being awarded the 2012 USA Fellowship grants for outstanding artists.

Annie B Parson recently choreographed and co-directed our Fall hit ICH, KÜRBISGEIST, A harsh, quasi-medieval locale facing destruction is populated by a community speaking a rigorous, specific, and completely invented language.

John Kelly is a long time PS122 artist and Ethyl Eichelberg award recipient whose most recent work was 2011’s The Escape Artist, about a trapeze artist stranded on a gurney in a hospital emergency room for 15 hours with a broken neck.

Coco Fusco (shown in photograph above) is a visual and performing artist whose piece A Room of One’s Own, an unflinching examination of the expanding role of American women in the war on terror, was performed in 2006.

PS122 alumni Dood Pard are back in NYC this week presenting a three part show called Stock Xenophobia at La Mama. Back in 2007 the Dutch group presented a performance called Medeia, an experimental version of the Medea myth laced with lyrics by the Cure and Madonna in PS122’s upstairs theater.

Cast members of Medeia were also kind enough to perform in one of PS122’s first youtube videos, a humorous institutional teaser called “Push it” directed by former PS122 staff member Keith Skretch. Check it out below in all its 240p glory:
