CINCINNATI, OH—REBEL REVEL came to the Cincinnati Arts Association’s Alice F. and Harris K. Weston Art Gallery in the atrium of the Aronoff Center for the Arts on Saturday, June 8th, to celebrate the closing of Oh! You Pretty Things—a nearly twenty year survey exhibition of the incomparable documentary and experimental video work of Cincinnati native and Brooklyn-based multimedia artist Rachel Rampleman. Oh! You Pretty Things was a kaleidoscopic array of many of the artist’s single- and multi-channel videos from her extensive creative catalogue, along with brand new works from the Life is Drag series out of New York City.

Oh! You Pretty Things opened at the Weston Art Gallery April 19 and continued through June 16 throughout both levels of the Weston—creating an unforgettable immersive gallery experience.

REBEL REVEL was a one-night-only festival celebrating those who truly and boldly push the limits of gender expression by combining drag, burlesque, avant-garde fashions, and radical makeup with subversive and often political performances. Inspired by Rampleman’s vivid video explorations of identity and set amongst a dazzlingly tall Mylar curtain backdrop, suspended disco ball, and accent stage lighting, the performing artists and models activated the Weston’s voluminous street-level space with their visually stunning creativity, featuring:

• A drag extravaganza including performances by ODD Presents, the new Cincinnati-based alternative drag haus committed to presenting queer-centric entertainment in all its forms;

• Draglesque by nationally renowned and legendary local male illusionist Alexander Cameron;

• Burlesque by Ginger LeSnapps, head mistress of the award-winning Cin City Burlesque and RAW Artists Cincinnati Performing Artist of the Year; plus Cincinnati’s brand new Smoke & Queers—a queer coed amateur burlesque troupe that encourages all expressions of self, gender, identity, and sexuality;

• Runway shows with gender-bending looks from Northside's NVISION and NYC's LACTIC Incorporated;

• The premiere of the latest fantastical art-couture stylings by costume and wig designer Stacey Vest of Sweet Hayseed’s Wearable Wonders.

A pic taken last fall....a few leaves were resisting the change to red.... :-)

got the gear for a 4th rebel trooper today, the female in the middle on the left, wish I had a better figure for it though, that's an older BBI figure with weird hard to pose rubber arms, but it's all I got at the moment, I've finally run out of spare figures haha

#mycrcs Rebels play well as a team and win round one of sectionals in 3 straight.

When you raise a rebel army to fight the Evil Galactic Empire, you can't be too picky. These two members of the Rebel Legion aren't prime specimens, but I'm sure their enthusiasm makes up for whatever skills or endurance they may lack.
