Month: February 2010

wait these are old

oo!
secrets hidden on rosson’s camera

like i said i have been using hers after mine busted into a million pieces

i wish i had found racier things!!!!

the boom boom room is not racy

ok here were are at the BRUCENNIAL made by Vito, his friend >>>struggling for memory>>>>and the five guys that are the Bruce High Quality Foundation

it was a big show in a space aby rosen has around the corner on west broadway

the wee rossons

not in this picture, but in the show it was funny because the thing that looked like a David Salle was a David Salle and the thing that looked like a Condo was a Condo

that face kind of says it all

there were very famous artists with some really great pieces next to totally unknown and some terrible pieces. some great unknowns and some terrible famous’ too i suppose

democracy in action!

someone even let terry richardson be in it

terence’s piece got batted around by the crazy crowds like an aaron young tire swing!

stefan bondell

nateball

the don

had what i think was a real and nice conversation with dan colen that didnt make me feel bad! loved it!

ooo

im going to push my computer off my desk if all these photos turn out blurry

bill powers (and later like 5 other people too) asked what i think of this and i think…..

B-

which is good!

snegina’s piece was cool

i kinda liked this contraption

i kinda liked this contraption

what weird atavism is this piece poking?

good poke

a sassy schnabel schnabel

a david dance machine sherry

fruit basket

a little too much democracy in action for me, to be honest

rosson unzipped her skirt and we went to the soho grand for civilization

found some cute danes

and a duve!

met nikki and her new beau at lucky strike

snow made us have to stay all within a 3block radius

back to bruce their second floor party just as the lights came up and were herded out

handed some party to these two knuckleheads and got the hell out of there

for whatever reason i woke up today feeling ok

there was no reason i should have felt good

something about the weather cleansed my dark dark soul

everything seems fresh and new

i feel less packed into sofas

i feel like being a human!!!

maybe it was all that democratic feel goodery the five boys cooked up

because i am sick of tired language and my tired, injured brain

i’ve shirked my duty to promptly report how poo the whitney bisexual was

i think the nytimes had holland cotter write the review because he is such a nice guy that he woudl be the only one with somethig nice to say

these charles ray drawings were pretty nice

this painter was ok i suppose

another one by ?her/him

good description

good description

i liked these of course

hung opposite these sad sacks

the obligatory car in the biennial

usually each biennial has a boat too but i didnt see a boat

pae white fabric thing

made in china art

wish these guys were more gymno and less nast

holland cotter said this guy looked like he was birthed by aurels piece

please back up or you might injure this fabulous and delicate piece of art

i like this lady’s face

this guy can fucking dance

cant this guy just like dance at parties i go to? why does someone have to make video art about him? cant we all just GO DANCE WITH HIM SOMEWHERE

ive been trying to hold back on baring rossons banging outfit for dramatic effect

dramatic enough??

ari marcopolous is an interesting guy. never met him till that night. i think.

this is rosson going “really?”

rachel sarah and friend

the security guard thought about breaking up the photo shoot but was overpowered by

the charisma of terry richardson

as many girls sometimes are too

yay!

double yay!

six pack six pack

best in show

rosson really hated this piece too

i dont see what is so objectionable about it

painter on painter violence is serious

you never see conceptual sculptors like HATING each other i think

i thought this security guard making a pile of umbrellas was a piece but it wasnt

lets blow this pop stand

lets do blow at this pop stand

just kidding

ahhh the pleasure and the pain

rosson’s charming men

rosson charming men

aurel and jr charming each other

jailbait

my camera is broken so i have been using rossons

which means when rosson goes home the photos stop

suffice to stay this party went on until ten am or so

trying to have a nice day off

is easy when you’re with Rosson!

someone made fun of me for just posting ADEK tags

have they walked around soho and canal recently??

i made rosson come with me to buy a jade plant to replace the jade plant i killed

i think i am the only person on the planet who has killed an indestructible jade plant

kembra texted me from jim’s manicure shop on Ave C and i though

?why not

ive never had a manicure before

who knows why the caged penis sings

ooh that reminds me; i referenced a Langston Hughes poem when writing the Jules press release in the paragraph about the “deferred optimism” of the obama administration and then i wondered whether that was inappropriate

look its a piece in the whitney biennial!

that was definitely not a jab at tauba. it is a jab at how biennial art is usually half finished pile of materials in a corner. i want to be really clear with my poking

we had a meeting at rosson’s studio last night and then jeffrey took us to the best dinner!

an old old italian place somewhere tucked in lorimer williamsburg area

if you could only hear what these guys were saying!
i could

they were saying jeffrey was such a lucky dude to be out with me rosson suzanne and paige. they yelled “hey how was fashion week?” 

loved it!

went to aurel’s house

i thought this was going to be the girliest photo ever but it turned out bad

whee!

lets go to LIT

it was their 8year anniversary party!

i love the zoom on my camera

i get to see into all the dirty nooks and crannies

it was kind of a mess in there as you can imagine

ack!

i got my toes diamonded too

and took a bunch of delerious photos of them when i got home

scott took me to sushi today and thank goodness something wholesome in my body!
besides the mercury i guess

did you know there is a takahachi in tribeca?

today was a day for dead umbrellas

you all look at patricks blog right?

he updates it now!

i never walk around tribeca

oo im going to take rosson here

ooooo soon

does tribeca stand for something like dumbo or nolita or wait does nolita stand for something??

brain on vacation through at least next week

should those be my “signature art dealer glasses”? im kinda in the market

my glasses got played out and now i cant wear them anymore

thanks urban outfitters and cobrasnake and vice and whatever other lame means there are of dissemenating style to the masses

i actually dont hate you urban outfitters; you provide me with jeans

terence provided me with soup!

garrick made this thai seafood stew cilantro pile soup that was amazing

eww my fingernails are so dirty

im like pigpen 

the shame the shame!

recogninze this?

a funny bunny

lets snoop around

who knows what we will find!

oop!

i found an Aurel!

and four presents from Peres Projects 🙂

i dont know why i took this photo when i came home much much later

i wonder what i was wondering at

hangover sauce afternoon sauce

terence sent me this LINK and wrote “Kathy poo pooed at 88?”

i feel bad saying inflammatory or insinuating or upsetting things on this thing and then people in real life getting into fights

if someone wrote that they didnt like my art or gossiped about my love life or even posted a photo of me doing something i wouldnt want people to see i would die of humiliation

i am not so tough

i am soft and pink

i have recently been taking frequent acid baths of shame and humiliation because i have been acting out poorly because of stress

so i know a lot about these feelings

nighlife is a serious thing in new york and kind of hard to manage if you are an out of control freak like me. its just an oxymoron; party be free cut loose but not too much

following a friend of a friend i ended up at some birthday party in midtown with a mechanical bull

this is an example of falling off the nightlife track in a bad way

this night i was at some boring party really late and unbeknownst to me all my friends i really wanted to see were either one block away at Bacaro or one block away on canal street setting off fireworks and running from the cops

and here i am taking photos of disco balls

i like photos of discoballs and secretly will continue to take them, btw

BARF

i hate the universe that is kate’s joint’s soy milk

i like spending “chinese new year” with pat and his new aNYthing shirt with suede underbottomings

i like sharing a hangover and making things less embarrassing

i like watching people grossly make out in the tino sehgal show and walking arm in arm with pat

i do not like pat’s snack attacks however

shame is not cold it is burning hot, why humans imagine hell to be flames

burning purifying flames of shame

is how i feel constantly

rosson is not ashamed to go with me to Scrapyard, buy a bunch of graffiti implements and test them on her wall

i was mortified

“do you have that krink in some HOT PINK please?”

spent my day off evening at jules’ painting studio

whats up with me why am i afraid of everything and everyone right now?

i dont know if i have the gumption to get back on my bike

in case that wasnt really obvious

its weird how some days are fine and some are just crushingly depressing

im working on a project with some art from this guy in paris in april

i get to thinking about all the great ideas he had and unrealized projects the two of us cooked up over the years. so many. i dont want to start a gallery without him with me

im not ready to view his art as an “archive” or something

working on paintings is really hard when you are depressed and filled with shame because the act of making a painting, even shitty paintings anything, requires a certain amount of bravery

to put something into the world of your own invention

you have to have some balls

kehinde has plenty to go around

this was his opening last night was it? no two nights ago

melee!

he did a collaboration with puma to celebrate the first world cup in africa

its a neat project for a brand crossover thing

there is a big africa on the wall that tells you about it come see it!

jorge! long time no see

a beard’s length of time actually!

i took a picture of this butt and then felt bad about it

nicky’s superpowered bracelet

each button does something different

sarah leslie and her fiancee came by!

as i was running out the door unfortunately

i woudl like to hang out with them for more than 2 min increments!

balls!

rosson was hungry

i was thirsty

omen food is pretty

pretty expensive!

omen sign is pretty

but it makes me think of purple magazine 

this place is called something funny what is it

oh yeah

GOOD UNIT

jeremy scott afterparty so fun

for the five minutes i got to be there before rosson insisted on calling it a night

i swear i am going to put something in her drink next time

rosson you are warned!

i dont care that this is now what everyone’s TV looks like i think its so beautiful

i turn the volume off and just watch it

i lie at home alone drinking Dewars and crying and watch the TV fuck up on mute

oh no kathy reel it in!

cold comfort!

ok ok forget the crying part

i went to team to dish with jose who is fun to dish with

i like gert and ewe tobias but not these exact pieces so much

i dont know why though

this is rosson turning to me and going “top shop?”

i was delaying our trip to top shop but i did like these little dudes

top shop gets to rip off designer clothes but canal street gets shut down?

where are all the canal street people going to go?

maybe i can give them a space in the new gallery to hock their wares

conceptual art!

“the streets” !

its right up the old alley

i feel bad saying inflammatory or insinuating or upsetting things on this thing and then people in real life getting into fights

if someone wrote that they didnt like my art or gossiped about my love life or even posted a photo of me doing something i wouldnt want people to see i would die of humiliation

spent my day off evening at jules’ painting studio 

whats up with me why am i afraid of everything and everyone right now?

i dont know if i have the gumption to get back on my bike

camaraderie

collar

i am a woman of few words today

hasty pudding

aurel finished her huge Whitney Biennial drawing and now can join the world!

i got to look through her sex book that is finally out!

you have to buy the new issue of PURPLE to get it though

sigh!

i took the one on the left

the one of sean is just hilarious

you all remember this one

going for it

aurel is not afraid of going for it

of course Olivier worked himself into the project

qu’elle suprise!

jailbait!

rachel

the magazine of course had familiar faces as well

like donald’s exceptionally cute face

ry!

spencer

charlie and leo

lucien drew this

my favourite piece of art he’s made actually

aurel and i made quite a night of things on wednesday

LIT until way late

aurel and i were kinda mean to this dude

but then after i left i think she was nice to him

pretty good drawing for fucking-sun-coming-up in the morning

what is this nonsense?

just a photo shoot for i-D with Rosson in her Zac Posen designs and Mat Moravec patiently perched on a ladder for multiple wardrobe changes

inspirational materials

see the results in the spring issue out in March!

had pizza with matt, posed here with some street chicken, and crashed my laptop uploading photos onto it

i had to delete an episode of law and order i hadnt even watched to make room

oh sacrifice!

patrick came over to watch the superbowl and i made him so many vegan snacks i can’t even show you them all. these are vegan pigs in blanket

big pigs, small blanket

the snack attack was guesome and no snacks were spared

we had to go to a bar to drink away our shame

i had to set up the TV to watch the super bowl and now that it is set up, i cant resist watching House and taking photos of the cable fucking up

i realize this poses a major problem, both in terms of time wasting and in terms of lowering the bar with my art explorations but knowing is only half the battle

rosson came over dressed as a bundle

i want one of those black leather snoopy hats really bad, sans rhinestones svp

where can i get one of those damn things??

back at a bar bored making napkin tampons with my lipstick

woke up today so happy!
the promised snow finally arrived!!!!

its hard to freely frolic in the snow when you remember something there is that doesnt love a snow

like homeless people

and rosson

i watched a cop car slide off the road and ram a parked car

this truck stopped to laugh at him

who doesnt love that?
