For more information on the controversy surrounding the event, please visit gothamist.com and search for 'Brooklyn is Burning.' " Despite the date cited, it actually took place in '10 rather than '09, and I apologize in advance to those unhappy that no actual stage seems to be featured...

Edit: A bit more background:

"Why did P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center cut the power on the Brooklyn is Burning event this Saturday? Organized by Andres Bedoya and Sarvia Jasso as part of the Saturday Sessions program, the function went awry when artist Ann Liv Young began her performance by criticizing that which immediately preceded her own. Said piece was executed by Georgia Sagri, who played the role of “Jane”, a woman claiming Sagri was unable to make the event but that she, Jane, had an important (never announced) announcement to make.

What follows is a recount of the event offered by an AFC tipster.

Ann Liv Young asked the audience what they thought about it and what it meant, direction some questions at the performers themselves. Lead performer, Georgia Sagri, was visibly annoyed. Young at one point stripped down, and was lying on the floor in front of Sagri and masturbating. Sagri left the room, and later came back, yelling and giving Young the finger. Young was unperturbed, and continued her performance. Shortly thereafter PS 1 cut the power to the room and the performer had no working microphone and the lights went out.

No announcement of any kind was ever made to the audience. Young’s performance ended with her carrying around pan of her own urine. She tripped and fell, spilling some of it. The rest she poured over herself and the performance was over."

PLEASE let me know where you find these pictures - may I can find a backdoor to get more!
