Candystore
THE LOST SHOW -LIVE ON AIR- Only
Tragically, due to the punk rock/amateur nature of the setup and Candystore’s extremely scintillating/distracting pre-show banter somebody (Nate) did not record this show. An encouragement to listen to the live show! If we are lucky, Candystore will grace us again in 2022.

Candystore was a 2018-2019 artist-in-residence with Shandaken: Governor’s Island and a 2018-2019 fellow in the Queer | Art | Mentorship program. In 2019, she-he was one of four recipients of the Shannon Michael Cane Award from Printed Matter, which allowed shimher the opportunity to produce and self publish her debut, *SOLD OUT* book of poetry, Hi Angels: Poems by Candystore, which then begat the 2020 extended version, Hi Angels: DELUXE—also sold out, sorry.
Candystore’s writing and art have been published in PAPER Magazine, Phile Magazine, Riot of Perfume, Precog Mag, RFD, and others. She-he has performed around New York City, most notably at MoMA PS1 (though it was only in the book store) and Dixon Place (but in that weird area between the bar and the bathroom). Candystore also performs every time she-he uses a public, "binary-themed" restroom. In shimher spare time, Candystore hosts a sexy, community-focused TV show called Pubic Access. She-he loves dick and lives in Brooklyn, NY with a snake named Mascara.
