I saw something referred to as an, “Installative performance”.

Our pretty little blog is back to normal, after a little diagnostic work. I bet you are all very happy.

On The Endless Perpetuation of Images

death is in the air, life is the new life, this generation’s on vacation.

on the road
with his garden hose
with the girl you don’t know
but you know from the video
hell calls her lately
he calls her baby

I have a new tattoo that says “TOLERABLE”.

Tay Lore?

So, in thinking about my body and how to best use all possibilities in performance, specifically areas that call attention to female body image in a way that is not sex directed and is both denied as well as valourized (AKA my deliciously big ass) I am reminded of Cheryl Donegan, alas, after St. Patrick’s day, which would have been a prime opportunity to explore my roots, drink beer, and paint with my ass.

“Suddenly evolution does something absolutely amazing here, when the young discover that the grown-ups don’t know what it’s all about. So we have the young world doing its own thinking; and without any experience, it had to make many mistakes. But it’s getting now where it’s not being politically exploited the way it was at first. I find the young everywhere around the world are completely intent in thinking about the total world. They’re not impressed with local nations anymore. There’s a young world coming along, each child born successively in the presence of less misinformation. Just think, until I was eight years of age, I had been told it’s inherently impossible for man to fly. I’ve had undue, enormous amounts of misinformation. Each child, now, is being born in the presence of a great deal more reliable information.
I’m getting letters now—not very often, about five a year—from children who were born after humans got to the moon. How they find I’m someone they can write to I don’t know, but they do, and they write incredibly beautiful letters, and the syntax couldn’t be better. They say they are familiar with the critical path of all the things that had to be done before the blast-off to get humanity over to the moon and back safely. They say, “Humanity can do anything it needs to do; why don’t we make this thing work?” So a young world is coming along which may very likely exercise that option.”

Yo, do everything with nothing! We got it!

I have always loved Venn Diagrams. They are fucking awesome. Here are some good examples:

(Yo dog. Dinosaurs do fly.)

(sweatpants)

(for more of these. click the tag “women” for some good stuff)

(notice the text on the side of this one above. apparently I don’t like vanilla, and noit doesn’t like mint)

(this one is for Ben)

(Yo, Vanilla Ice, make that girls SMILE, dawg.)

(those are for taylor)

(this one is just really beautiful)

(this is for everyone on here reading this right now. no i haven’t written a book, yet.)

(for the midwesterners and backcounty folks)

(for the brokenhearted)

(for the tragically ironic)

But all in all I know that unless I stop appropriating to such an extreme, I am not actually making legitimate artwork. So, therefore, I made my own Venn Diagram. As rendered below:

(modified diagram as per comment from Cliff:)

(this is for Cliff Evans, cats, and all my other teachers. Waiting on Cliff to google search himself for this one.)
