Lukas Lukasik and Sadie Lune are proud to announce “All We Need is Love”, a fundraiser for San Francisco’s only health clinic run by and for sex workers, the St. James Infirmary. Taking place during the Day of Love in the Year of Revolution ‘09, the Valentine’s Day event will include performances taking place in 12 peepholes installed in ATA’a Left Window. At least twenty-five artists will be involved with bringing hot light to the heart of the Mission, including J-12, Camilla Stenmark, Andrew Beals McPherson, Ronnie Eldridge, Sam Manera, Douglas Katelus, R.C. Bubblegum, Kaleb Sunshine Sydney, Steve Hopkins, Bailey Greenwood, Jillian Soto, Lukas Lukasik, and Sadie Lune.

Featured performers at the opening event include Steve Hopkin’s Blue Buddah Bus, Kaleb Sunshine Sydney, and Wiggwaum. DJ Rocket 69, in town from the capitol of Red Light Love – Amsterdam – will be spinning music for a romantic evening of slow dancing. Performances, light shows, projections, installations, and sex workers entertaining outdoors and indoors… It’ s all just a part of the night of lust… for Life.

It’s the hottest way of spreading love and taking pleasure in an unforgettable Valentine’s Day. “All We Need Is Love” — so, come and get it!

Drawing from sources as varied as office supplies and suburban tract housing, the work in this group show supplements the release of ATA webzine issue #3 (release date: October 31st) and loosely follows the themes of “order, measurement and systems.” This two-part project offers, through example, a certain tour de force of creative energy by local artists who also curate, promote and present work by other local artists.
