ISSUE Project Room's inaugural benefit at their future home - the architecturally and acoustically beautiful jewel-box theater at 110 Livingston Street in Downtown Brooklyn - brought together an array of artists, musicians, filmmakers and writers in celebration of longtime supporter Elliott Sharp's 60th birthday. Over 250 attendees helped raise approximately $80,000 and enjoyed the first public preview of the innovative concepts for the new space. Supporters ranged from Jo Andres, Steve Buscemi, Robert Longo, Aidan Quinn, and Nanette Lepore, to Elliott Sharp, JACK and Sirius Quartets, Jack Womack, and Tracie Morris.

Last week I had the exceptional privilege of interviewing newly minted SAG and Golden Globe-winner for Best Actor In A Drama Series for his work on HBO'S BOARDWALK EMPIRE, Steve Buscemi, along with his wife, artist/choreographer Jo Andres, about their participation in the experimental music/theater space in Brooklyn, ISSUE Project Room. For those that are not aware, ISSUE Project Room is a community performance space for up-and-coming musicians, artists, performers and choreographers at 110 Livingston Street with the goal of creating a centralized space for all the arts - avant garde and otherwise. In addition to discussing their shared beginnings in the fringe theatre scene in the East Village in the eighties and the artists who inspired them, Buscemi and Andres also talk about the ultimate goals of the venue, both new and old, and the reason that now is the perfect time for a space such as this to flourish, as new artists get the opportunity to see their work produced. Further information about the venue - and how you can become a member - can be found here.
