Green onion baths return to Japanese bathhouse to celebrate Labor Day You know, you really have been working hard, so why not treat yourself to a dip in a bath full of negi? In Japan, there’s a custom of putting foodstuffs into your bathwater. This isn’t an everyday practice, but the occasional addition of fruits or herbs to the bath is said to aid relaxation, beautify […]

Banos Finisterre is a Little scary on the 2nd floor but the rest is manageable. 😂😈🥵 #gayCDMX #bathhouses

Before openly gay political leaders or organizations existed, #bathhouses were hubs where men could overcome isolation and develop a sense of community and pride.
They were a significant part of the political struggle for the right to associate with one another in public.

#Pride #SafeSpace #LGBTQ

Did you know that #bathhouses and bars were among the first institutions in the US to give gay Americans a sense of #Pride and community?.

They were the first stages of the civil rights movement, created by pioneers who risked everything to build a space where they could be themselves.

#SafeSpace

For centuries, #bathhouses have been more than just a place to relax. They have been vital "safety zones" where gay men could escape a judgmental society and find community. In a world that often made them feel invisible and isolated, bathhouses were a place to be seen.

Rashid Johnson On His Bathhouse Performance of ‘The Dutchman’ The text of _The Dutchman_ by Amiri Baraka is enough to make any audience member sweat, but its staging in the famous Russian & Turkish Bathhouse quite literally guarantees it. Attendees of artist Rashid Johnson’s re-staging of the play for Performa were heavily utilizing the buckets of ice water provided, wiping their glistening foreheads off and quietly commiserating (and some, loudly calling out) as the play barreled towards its violent and stunning final act. ### _The Dutchman_ , written by Baraka when he was still known as Leroi Jones, was originally staged in Greenwich Village in 1964. Its plot is seemingly simple: a white woman (Lula) approaches a Black man (Clay) on an empty New York City subway. Their interaction, filled with a toxic mix of flirtation and racial animus from Lula, unfurls over the course of the one act play. And in Johnson’s bathhouse rendition, the rising heat and terror of the plot mirrors the increasing brutality of the environment. Johnson originally staged the play at the Bathhouse in 2013. Now, with a sprawling 9 month mid-career retrospective at The Guggenheim, Johnson had the opportunity to restage the performance for _Performa_ over 5 nights (September 24-25) for small groups of attendees due to the Bathhouse's limited capacity. ### “I really liked the idea that I could expose the audience to a position of comfort and discomfort simultaneously,” Rashid Johnson said over the phone the day following the run’s second performance. “[The bathhouse is] a place that people go to be comforted to some degree, but based on the amount of time that you spend [there] that comfort can become discomfort quite quickly. I wanted the audience to have that visceral experience.” ### Beyond that, he frequents the Bathhouse often, telling _PAPER_ that he regards it as “a place of prayer” and “sanctuary,” his words mirroring the title of his Guggenheim exhibition, _A Poem for Deep Thinkers_ (named after a poem by Baraka of the same title). The play’s restaging comes at a time when its themes of racism, political violence, and the politics of public space are taking on renewed resonance. Johnson, though, is clear that its relevance transcends our fraught and ever-fracturing politics. “The human condition and its complexity if interpreted well is timeless,” he says. ### The sentiment is echoed by RoseLee Goldberg, Founder and Chief Curator of Performa: “Rashid Johnson’s _Dutchman_ was disturbing and unforgettable when first produced by Performa in the heat of the Russian & Turkish baths for the Performa 2013 Biennial,” she says. “With its heightened sexuality, race baiting, and senseless violence, its restaging, almost twelve years later, is as powerful, and sadly, as relevant, as it ever was." ### Of particular interest to Johnson is the demand the performance in the bathhouse places on the audience. “People are going to feel a certain amount of agency [watching the show,] because what they're being exposed to is so different from what they're accustomed to as [audience members],” he says. Indeed, people were leaving the sauna in the last act for both physical reasons and their visceral reaction to the text. ### The play takes place in the context of this expansive period in Johnson’s career, with activations happening around his retrospective which is on view until January. “I’m considering this time in my life with the retrospective as a way of unpacking all of my creative history. I'm just excited to unfurl for all these different ideas at the same time,” he says. On the question of how he’s balancing his many co-current artistic explorations during this hectic time, his response is clear: “Maybe it's the thing I've learned from the Trump administration: I'm just gonna flood the zone.” ### _Photography:__Walter Wlodarczyk_
