Recession Art is hosting its first Art Battle! VERSUS will be an epic competition between visual and performing artists. Visual artists will compete against performance artists in a Family Feud style event to decide a question that has plagued the art world since Andy Warhol and Lou Reed: Who is cooler? The event will be hosted by Bradford Scobie, a comic character actor, comedy writer and composer. Team Visual Art is Ilan Bachrach, Brent Birnbaum, Julie Floersch, Chaz Ganster, and Sam Vernon; and Team Performance Art is Donald Butchko, Peter Duchan, Jessica Jelliffe, Jamie Peterson, and Zhenesse.

VERSUS is 8-11 pm at the Invisible Dog Art Center, 51 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, New York. For more information, visit: http://recessionartshows.com/current/versus
