All Tomorrow's Parties - July 25 - August 1

Monday, July 25, 5:00 - 9:00 p.m.
The opening reception for "Hung," will feature, for one night only, the work of Cynthia Plaster Caster.  Cynthia is famous worldwide for her plaster casts of rock's most well known penises.
Cynthia Plaster Caster's most famous subject was guitarist and former Chelsea Guest, Jimi Hendrix, immortalized in plaster Feb. 25, 1968. The 5 3/4-inch cast shown in the photo below was to be exhibited this month at Cambridge's Club Passim but was nixed by club officials concerned about upsetting kids and families. 

Censorship didn't slow Cynthia down.  She  was recently in the Chelsea casting about for another model.
"Last month I had the pleasure of staying there for the first, and hopefully, not the last time.  I'm in LOVE with that place!  The people hanging out in the lobby, the stairwell, the lovely, unpretentious-but-comfortable rooms..I want to CAST that hotel itself!!
    But I only have a brief story to tell about my stay: I was sitting in the lobby at 2 a.m., reading my E-mail when Ethan Hawke strolled in with a blonde girl (Not Uma).  They walked into the elevator before I could give him my calling card.  Sigh...I'm not always on my toes at a late hour..."
