Rolling and Lolling
I had a dream last night about a workshop/meeting I attended at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis to engage with the artist Tino Sehgal. This was a considerable time ago, Sehgal was considered cutting edge at the time, and I was in grad-school so cutting edge was lust worthy. But, this morning, I literally [...]

Looking Up
I have to take a second to give a quick shout out and link to one of my favorite Minneapolis artist’s work: Andy Sturdevant’s “The Stroll” writings for the MinnPost. I can’t emphasize how much I agree with and am always surprised by the observations and encounters described in each piece. At the moment I’m [...]

So many years will be spent searching, studying, classifying, before my life is secured, carefully arranged and labelled in a safe place – secure against theft, fire and nuclear war – from whence it will be possible to take it out and assemble it at any point. Then, being thus assured of never dying, [...]
Oh! Wait! It was all just a performance…
I enjoy complaining. In fact, I’d say that a solid 30% of my day is spent complaining about something. Today, I’d like to just briefly air my displeasure regarding the current state of performative elements in art. My lament is basically this: when did it become acceptable to be a complete douchebag, embarrass yourself and [...]
