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

with rue i am base

I want to re-invest my brain in sorta-pragmatic hip cat philosophical motivations.

anybody else want to do this? we can have cocktails and play apples to apples too.

THINK TANK

I am proud to announce the first show to be held at the new MEME Gallery in Cambridge, Accumulation!

Accumulation (phase I) will provide an environment to witness the evolution of a space that has
been activated by accumulated creative action. Over the duration of this exhibition the 6 Boston-
based artists and curators of MEME will spontaneously create an evolving installation.
All evidence from these actions will remain in the space and each artist will be challenged with
how to interact with another’s remnants. Accumulation will challenge ideas about artist
collaboration while creating an innovative exhibition of performance art documentation.

Accumulation’s opening will be held on June 13th from 12-6pm. Because of the nature of this
exhibition, a closing, complete with a screening of video documentation of all occurrences in the
space will also be held on June 26th from 7-10pm.

Artists include:
Alice Vogler
Bradley Benedetti
Dirk Adams
Philip Fryer
Sandrine Schaefer
Vela Phelan

Located in Central Square, Cambridge, MEME will provide space for ephemeral art to be
made and witnessed. A tireless schedule of exhibitions, screenings, residencies and workshops
will bring together local, national and international artists. MEME’s goal is to provide
support for ideas that typically have a difficult time finding a place in the world. Keep an eye
out for local artists PRINCESSdie, GJYD, Rome’s Travis McCoy Fuller, and The Present
Tense’s Archive release event in the upcoming months!

In 1975 Ant Farm sent a 1959 Cadillac through a wall of flaming TV sets in «Media Burn», a deconstruction/demolition of the media spectacle par excellence.

…if you’re home on the internet now, you’re probably not (those of you in boston) attending this colloquium on performativity at the museum, which looks like it’s going to be killer.

one of the speakers is the last remaining member of canadian power group General Idea, a very early (high school) influence of yours truly.

And if you don’t know who general ideas is, GO LOOK NOW PLZ

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.

This morning Taylor and I were discussing the role of Gwen Stefani in 90s music consumerism.

Gwen Stefani was probably one of my biggest influences in my childhood, although in hindsight her fate has become slightly tragic:

I think you guys know why…

ps.

So I started a new diet thats supposed to stop me from having seizures…

I basically just eat meat and cheese and eggs and I can’t consume carbs/bread/rice/sugar/etc.
It kinda sucks but I think its worth it.

Am I doomed? Or will I retain my hair?

Don’t worry, ceiling cat.

The Answer is CLIFF EVANS.

After we don’t need to worry about money, let reenact/reinvent some awesome history.
