I was asked by the Metropolitan Museum of Art to do a new piece based on the exhibition they had running by the German painter Max Beckmann. Both Beckmann's work and life are fascinating so I had a lot of great source material, but I also wanted to show some personal connections between him and me, and quite surprisingly, I found there was a lot.

It was nerve-wracking to do a whole new show, especially after doing Alan Cumming Sings Sappy Songs for so long, but me and my band-mates - Lance Horene Eleanor Norton and Alon Ilsar - had a great time.

I also DJ'd a Club Cumming party afterwards!
