June 30, 2019Performance Art
June 28, 2019I’ve always not-so-secretly wanted to be a performance artist––bummed Marina Abramovic’s school is never gonna happen!––and I remember recently one of my only good ideas for an endurance piece, which was embedded in the text of a sort of pretentious poem I wrote a few years ago:
I retype the entire text of War and Peace on stage at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires in one sitting. If a success, I go on tour, and “perform” Infinite Jest atthe Paris Opera House, Remembrance of Things Past at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, and Gone with the Wind at the Sydney Opera House. All performances will be recorded and available for purchase through Apple.
I could add more performances, too! I can think of long books and storied opera houses for days.
HAPPY BLOG-IVERSARY!
June 4, 2019Dear ones! (I just read a great takedown of Elizabeth Gilbert so that’s tongue-in-cheek.) Guess what? This blog has been alive for 10 years TODAY! Remember this first post, in which I implored people not to read? Luckily, a vast majority of the planet’s population got that memo! If you’re still on board with me here, please meet me for drinks at 11 PM tonight at the American Colony Hotel, Louis Vincent Street 1, Jerusalem. L’chaim!
Put Me in Your Will, Mr. Waters
June 3, 2019There’s a new article out about John Waters, which focuses on his art collection, one of my favorite topics. You’ll recall, I’m sure, that many years ago I wrote him a note offering to be caretaker of his art collection when he dies. I would probably strike a different tone now, but what’s done is done.
The new piece features a number of pictures of Waters’s pieces from my favorite “genre” of art, trompe l’oeil! The toilet paper dispenser, light switch, olives, playing cards and pencil in these pictures are fake! Basically my dream is to have an apartment riddled with fake things just to confuse my guests.
