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!

the answer is yes.

i hope its not too late to do this:

diego showed me this guy a little while ago. it’s super corny. actually it’s pretty bad. but i keep going back to watch it because i like it anyway. i don’t know, maybe for 70’s nuts? (taylor?)

periodically been skimming radical software, definitely for 70’s nuts.

i’ve seen residential erection and some other bogus hollywood/new world order/severely overanimated stuff, but above image combined with recently rediscovering that benjamin barber essay severely bums me out. short explanation: this is one of those someone-else-already-did-it-and-way-more-awesome-than-you instances. i know, that can be said for everything, but you know…whatever. still bummed out. especially maodonna, it has such a nice ring to it.

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:
