My friend Hoke wanted to hire a host of Marina Abromovic impersonators and crash the MoMA opening. Logistical challenges ultimately doomed that plot, but I’m glad other artists are riffing on the works of this prolific performance artist.

Apparently Matt Levy is actually a licensed NY city tour guide. He was giving walking around with his own crate/pedestal and giving a cheeky/snarky rundown of various histories, happenings and off-colour activities that had occcured in the various rooms of the spacious Flux Factory building. Love the ‘stache…

Some still shots of my favourite piece at the Flux Factory Housebroken show. A video of the of airplane installation is available in my prior posting. Nearby there was a “self-help” performance going on between Mr. White and Mr. Black (my own nomenclature lifted from “Resevoir Dogs”). Periods of silent, intense reading were interspersed with a monotonous droning song which you can see/hear here.

My friend Chad is doing a residency in Breckinridge, CO. He was interviewed by a local TV station. Not only does he exhibit a commanding screen presence, complete with trapper hat, but you can see some footage of his work, as well. I think he is in the process of updating his website, but you should bookmark it for later perusal…
