let me call your attention to the fact that the above is just a SMALL SELECTION of the fantastic works Mat made for his exhibition here

kupet some pieces; we want your pretty polly!

i took a photo of this exact abandoned doll house two years ago in chinatown

had a weird fight at cafe gitane

he kept letting me win so i woudl forgive him
no forgiveness
i can be a cold and unforgiving sea cliff
right now i am hard as obidian and as unrelentingly cruel as the northern surf
try me!!!!

i dont take photos of homeless people, upton takes photos of homeless people
another reason i disapprove

i have a lot to do and must be a cold rock bluff
don’t take it personal like
“it’s just business”

yeah fucking right
i hate people who say that
that is what people say when they are fucking you over

the REFORM SCHOOL show is October 9- 11
its going to be awesome but it is pretty sad to think the kids just lost their school this summer
providing us a venue
for a show about saving schools

no rest for the wicked

this is last night
fuck seriously the cafe next door is blasting lady gaga
we have a problem
there is a very grumpy gallery owner forced to listed to top 40 by a bunch of mentally challenged “barristas”

hung out with the chicago bleached blond crew again last night hence the hangover

the bleach blondies
the flashers and the bleeders

jack kept stabbing upton’s shoes until i convinced him to stab some beers instead

oops he stabbed other things too

please note the face tattoos

the first time we left the Chelsea Hotel was peaceful

made some friends at Les Bains

like this girl!
she liked me
she gave me her card :0

whee!
the second time we left was not peaceful

we again had to go to my fucking house because jack gets all punchy late at night

then as soon as he gets somewhere he immediately falls asleep
worst house guest ever 🙂

best houseguest ever! i forgot her name tho

things get weirder
upton took the pictures and i dont wanna condone meddling in other people’s business

“it’s only business”

bust to bust:

went through the iPhoto trash to make some espace on my computer

lots of strange photos of upton

or i think he was Avery back then?

there are lots of reasons a photo gets trashed
this one is “haircut”

this one is “pill-induced self-portraiture”

person walking in front of artwork as you take picture is another

i took this photo to try to capture in a face the moment of being dumped
but i dont see much except some dumb ugly bitch who needs to pull herself together

this one got nixed because i dont like being the the back of any picture
or looking bored around my (former) boss)

this is a very blurry barry piece

ha ha this is a blurry photo of a painting about the confusion of making art
by michael cline

this photo i thought i looked ugly

this photo i was wearing Nathan’s jacket and i thought he might have noticed and got mad
file that under “wearing borrowed/stolen/incriminating attire”

the second best cropping of the “lonely sharpie” photo you might remember

“unseasonal”

“unappetizing”

also unappetizing
never take photos of self in cab back from overseas travel

where did this one come from?
pat looks like a rat fink
i kind of like this one but have to give it an “unseasonal” as it is no longer hot hot sexy summer

“second cutest”
second cutest is sometimes still cute
trash

you know i was all excited about a total trash post but now im kinda feeling the photos i took the past two days instead
like this dude’s barry mcgee tattoo!

lets look at new photos instead
new york is really a poem unlimited and we should write some more verses!

a pretzel and some paranoia

slurpin ramen at Menu Kai or whatever that place is near Cooper
they need a catchier name, bad

this photo gives me a girl chubby
i love ramen so much
we should be together, ramen and i

deli hijinks

heisty

sitty

Avery made a new pintar

whee!!!

we had a fun walkabout yesterday
in my Steve Powers awesome raincoat artwork

doesn’t it look like the nun above him might be textin too?

there is Top 40 playing in the @#$%ing cafe by my desk and i cant think of anything witty when the most insipid lyrics about nothing are being blasted in my face

guess where we are??

hold on to your yarmulkes, we are going to IKEA!

everyone loves a free boat ride

ah memories!
remember? that one time we went to IKEA?

hold still bitch

ooh n ever mind i found something cooler to watch

wow

fuck

can i stay and live here

and you guys can stay in the shitty world of people and objects

some people are pretty fun i guess

upton got excited for a second

until he read the fine print

we had fetuccini with spicy sausage and peppers and onions instead yummmm

drank some dog fish head in honor of the brother
who we both call “the dork”

avery made another painting!
its great

it is not great in size

what else?
we saw some bad tattoo flashe

we pilfered the “humor” section of st marks books
i tried to reshelve sarah palin’s book over there and upton told me that joke just isnt funny anymore

the poopiness of going to work on your day off is getting to ride the bus in the rain reading humor books

while others get wet / look stupid

why did the rat cross the road?

because he gets occasional free dinners at the Pink Pone

remember Dana Shutz’ painting of a face eating itself?
why did the tomato eat itself

because it was a tomato adek

why did the girl make her boyfriend super fancy burger and sweet potato fries and corn after working all day?

she doesnt know
her head feels like this
she is hungover as fuckkkkkk

it started here
no wait
this is the new James Fuentes space on Delancey we popped in to ooh at it

then drinking
then drinking with rosson
who insisted this was a bad photo but i dont think it is i really like her outfit

i however look stupid
now that i am older i get to drink martinis
and healing-brush-tool my zits

upton got his daily serving of meat

i had crab balls
this is at Dressler which is excellent in case anyone reads this blog for its restaurant reviews

i barfed this up later
you will see

then we went to some house with birds named Lucifer and Satan

to pick up this blonde

they had some cool stuff in their place

ha ha its sage it really is!

scawy masks

then the photos skip to here
something must have happened imbetween?

party people in the haus

this photo of Jeanette would have been so gooood if my camera didnt suckkkkk

oh little monkey

it’s not a party till the shirts come off i guess

all the bars we tried to go to wouldnt let us in

the bouncer at 169 bar physically threw jack and jeanette out on their asses and i had to go back and get upton’s glasses that were knocked off his cute face

i guess it was 4am ish?

time to use the belly button as an ashtray

time to tag your friends

oh boy

oh boy

i think this was right after i barfed
no wait it was before

get ready for a little bit of HORRÓR as kembra pronounces it

we were back on friday i think

mat was still installin

i captured Upton and died him good

for some reason he wanted to be photographed exclusively in the stairwell

scawy

yay! it turned out good
i think

now that he is a blonde, Upton is a conceptual artist

in another light we had one mad day to get all this art on the walls!

who was this guy? he just showed up and helped it was awesome!

look at all the pee po helping on the art!
this is the most gratifying thing to a kathy heart

these are board game drawings from five different artists they are only $100 boners and you can come by one and all proceeds go to the board game
it is a “necromancer monster blood bath” i think is what mat said

the hoards arrive the hoards arrive!

autograph time

yay!!! i think mat was happpy!

you guys gotta get over here
there is a crapload of fantastic art
and its selling fast!

nothing like some SALES to make you feel like you are actually running an art gallery!

jeffrey’s piece from MACRO and WIGGIE

evan with his odouls

dude contemplating crotch mouth

i dont know if you can tell from this picture just how happy i am about this show

how about this picture?
we took everyone to Shabu Shabu!

i snuck food coloring into people’s cauldrons

mat was amused

steemy

shabu shabu is the funneset

dont know why upton looks so grumpus tho

full of soup i was down for the count
horay!
my reward is nice sleeping

nxt mornin

tsquare park is nice on days off
upton met this dude who said his dog had marched in all these rallies and i petted the dog and upton made really harsh fun of the dude to his face
who cluelessly couldnt tell he was being dissed
he said wow this is a great activist dog, all activists should be dogs, they just sound like barking anyway, why dont just dogs go march for causes?
and the dude was like “yeah”

as we walked off Upton yelled “Unleash the Revolution!”

this is me passed out in the back yard after too many Elsa drinks

yay! this is this morning
morning of day off
bright and early getting the Mini ZIP car to go to collector house!

so mayny holes to be filled
tirelss work

i won’t show you any photos of the awesome house grounds or collection for privacy reasons but you can see this photo of us driving down the driveway as we left:

we earned our treat

we earned our traffic!

oh shit what the fuck is going on

LEVI’s is moving into deitch
its real

walking to work can be fantastic some days
as camera #2 shows us

the San Gennaro festival slightly less lovely

a lovely fran painting still available in our showroom

last few light me ups
this is the board game wall: come buy one

these might be the secret favourite

as opposed to the obvious favourite which is this 40-piece masterpiece

there is so much to love

bottom right rock piggie actually is secret favourite changed my mind

these are some weiiirrrddd tomatoes at the farmy market

this is for patrick

this is for me

this is for Barry from Upton
whee!
the tagger tree stayed on all night one night and made a tag

there havent been many butts recently

upton’s butt is nothing to speak of

me rolling up an air mattress is not that exciting even i can see that

although my butt does cover a lot of bases

things have just been weird and transitional
summer ending means fewer butts too so i really dont know how this is going to work

guess who was in my cab before me?

i am at lunch with Rafael de Cardenas

i love architects who lunch

exhibition designers who lunch
we talked about moscow it was fun

there was a hailstorm

then more eating

this place

we decided to take Mat Brinkman here because we are doing this with light in his show and thought it would be funny

scott and meghan

me upsidedown

this must be an old one
🙁

then Mat and i continued our drinking at Mars Bar

i hadnt been in so long

well i guess this was the last time with this thing up there

i made the mistake of tryin to pee

gave up and just took pictures

these people were takin pictures!

today

this afternoony

sigh!

oh shit i forgot about camera #2

upton never uses his birthday present so i essentially have two black canon supershot thingie cameras in my purse

ha ha look at this this is at TEAM

Santiago Sierra

LOS PENETRADOS

guess what its “about”

grunty

this is starting
i have no idea what it is “about”

gustation perhaps?

i have taken a photo of this like 15 times each time im like OOH i found one
like 50 first dates or something

new Spumoni Westwater on bowery
jeez can someone give me a building like this and we can have awesome art shows and just cut through all the poo and just have great shows

i want to do this to all the nice gallery spaces because i am jealous of them

i woke up at 4am and made dinner

columbian flank steak with ajo sauce, truffly mash pos and some other crap
why? i have no idea

today so far has been super fun guess why

guess how excited i am right now

you will only get a wee peaky and it is only so you understand how important it is that you come to the opening tomorrow

evan gruzis / brinkman? 🙂

and did i mention colored light everywhere?

see you little monsters tomorrow!

this is the principal’s office where we are having fun RE:FORM SCHOOL show
(shudder)

i am no thing to thank god on but i should thank something that i have made it to the ripe old age of THIRTY

Dash took me for spaghetti and meatballs one birthday when no one else wanted to hang out with me. 2007? When i had a party at this place on suffolk and only meghan and nicky vassel came, he was there to make it fun and took funny pictures with us and cheered me up in 2005

it’s weird to me that the main reason i was upset about turning 30 was him

as opposed to just being upset to be 30 or being afraid of wrinkles or not being “precocious” anymore but just “talented” which isnt as cool

rosson brought me a cupcake and cajoled me into

a real smile instead of my usual grumpy camera face

handmade Rosson Rappinpaper

“the energy of the streets”

yay its a spy camera!!!!
the blog is about to go to a whole new level of invasiveness and embarrassment!

we didnt have a petting zoo because all the goats escaped so we had an EATING ZOO

some wild animals came to the eating zoo

i am sad because i have a big zit
rosson is sad for me as well

upton is a strong a proficient an enthusiastic eater
is it wrong that i feel very gratified to provide him with food?
is it wrong that i love to watch him become full and happy???

is it wrong that one of the food came with a head
kembra tried to pet it

one of the things you see in the picture is fried frogs

kembra after years of sobriety has finally succumbed to her black pepper addiction

tragedy! what else can it become besides comedy

remember dash’s piece that was a spinning record with a big line of coke on it? he installed it in some group show and nicky and i came early to participate and right after we had participated, jeffrey walked in

spin the birthday pucks!

i must say i have a very hard time being the center of attention. i love making other peoples art dreams come true but the idea of people singing to me while looking at me is enough to make my hair helmet snap into place

oral gave me the most super little cute drawing! it said poon on the back!!!!
i love it
and look at my cool K necklace: kembra grabbed it off kate spade and now i am the third K in the line! KKKATHY!

so many freaks, so little time

yay!
i picture dash sitting on the left by teddy making squirrel noises with his hands up in the air 🙂

this is one kind of petting zoo i suppose
escape frog!

escape trash!

escaped to somewhere i hope somewhere beautiful

cherishing those who have deigned to stick around a bit longer

i am totally down with Other Peoples Photography today
it’s going to be great!

let’s start with Scott Brewster’s awesome photos of Peggy’s fashion show!

lisa

i missed the actual posed runway shots, because after that we just have photos of them playing basketball

it was really cute 1. because they didnt really know how to play at all and 2. because their little feets scurrying back and forth with the pop pom thingies,,, so precious!!!

yay!

then they carried peggy off

yayayayayaya!

oo

im inexplicably dressed as a hot dog

meghan

i love these photos

yay love!!!!

cawl me?

yay!!! and yay to scott for nice photos

you might have seen Bec Stupac in the background of those photos which brings us to our next PP

malcom’s clothes

he and Peggy did this collaboration together

i wanna do some kind of event to present these awesome designs too

anybody up for it? should we do it???

“fierce”

i say we shall!
lets do it!!!

i love collaborations
such as this one between EV DAY and Kembra! and bijoux who shot these bad boys

who let kembra loose in Giverny france Monet garden
hilarious

do i have any more PP?

the only PP i have left are a few photos i took, thus ruining our theme but there you go

Upton made some bucks on the low and took me out to dinner so nice!
i see escargots

look at what he gets to eat!!!

this had rabbits and duck something?? we were a little impaired, a little zonked, what is a good euphemism

we were feeling special

when you are down by ground zero you can see better all the shit flying around in the beams

its pretty

upton said i looked pretty too

yay! we are at some party
united bamboozlers?
i see spencer!

yay! i see andrew kuo

that is where it was

upton said “more than 50 i think”

then when the train never came we went back above ground and upton ordered all this breakfast

it was getting towards 5am
there were lots of interesting people in the diner on west 4th…

right as we got home like 6am there was this dying miserable rat, quivering and moaning and about to die of rat poison horribly on the sidewalk. so Upton smashed it with a rock

putting things out of their misery is really miserable business
(which reminds me: did i mention tomorrow is my 30th birthday?)

just so we don’t end on a skull-crushingly depressing note, here are three last PP from DRD and Mystery Brinkman

yay!!! eye holes

yay!!! leggo my egggghos!!!!!
this saturday september 18th….

like a lil baby seal!

it’s fashion weak and baby seal was AALLLLL over the runways this season

it’s also art weak and Dan Colen was THE talk of the artworld

ha ha is it even remotely credible that i woudl talk like that?

here we are at Dan’s show, POETRY

tone poem

ghost gums

mmm chewy

prop piece

crowding

dan: dan likes to always say “it is what it is”, which in this show manifested as a kind of no-commenting. the upside down half pipe was not a real life piece, ie. it didnt look like it was built by skaters or really skated on, it was kinda nice but not too nice, and skated on a bit but not very much. it wasnt an “art object” either: it want marble or polished or fabricated looking. it was this weird imbetween where art is neither recreating life or embalming it into object d’art. it just “is what it is”

whether that is good or interesting or new you can decide

i have other places to be!

jorge

plus grain alcohol margarita machine

plus roof taggin equals:

nightclubbin!!!

whee!!!!

money shot
WOW

flash makes it even gnarlier

it got hairy!!!

aftermathematics

yay!!!!
the audience wanted more but there was no more
short and sweet and fucked and leave them guessin

remember when cody + jaimie + leone did that scary thing in Athens Andreas’ basement?

i loved it i think everyone did i hope everyone did
anti-fashion week performance!

i hope kristy or bec or others got some good photos of the hot models punching eachother in the background

tee hee

the SSION experience in all its permutations was so fantastic, what a great great few weeks this has been!!!!!

no art in this post actually
but there are going to be awesome photos of Peggy fashion presentation tomorrow!

for now you get struggling hot dog Teddy

we went to meet Spencer to plan fun event for tonight

for some people, this photo will be hilarious

if you can’t read graffiti, that says GLACER

this says PASTE
there is no funny story here to my knowlege

we are doing this awesome Cody and NO BRA peformance TONIGHT here on spencer’s roof
if you wanna come its 90 Ludlow Street and come early! because its gonna be smashpacked

its kinda cold tonight so bring a sweater

ooh look at me momming you guys

shameful

ah this made me sad!
patrick always treated this Bay City Rollers song as “our song” the one thats like “I Only Wanna Be With You”
i always thought our song was this belle and sebastian song called your cover’s blown, but i think he didnt like that i thought that?

people suck

other people that is

i dont suck im just some nice girl trying to get through life without having her feelings mashed up all the time

why are we looking at these photos

we went out to dinner with our Hole partner Jeff Vespa

they have a drink at Gemma called “the vespa” but jeff didnt want it

meghan however drank quite a few of them

eat and party eat and party this is last night

rosson wanted to go to omen

i like to diss OMEN because its like the official restaurant of Purple magazine and i like making fun of purple magazine but i always forget that when you dont like something you should just ignore it because even dissing it adds attention to it

patrick always reminded me of that. he would say “Aaron Young who?” when people asked him

boy i am being a buttface today im sorry
i have a pounding hangover from the photos you are about to see

they must have thought rosson was famous because they let us sit at a reserved table and brough us a million bottles of Moet

and $150 caviar free

we went through terence’s purse while he was pee pee

yay!

oops hes back

oops this back!

check out the mad bedazzler over here

whee!

whee!
why does Waris make parties feel more partier?
i guess that is why he is invited to so many?

i took a lot of photos upside down

oop there we go

rosson and this guy whose name i forget

i dont look cute when i smoke i should remember that

really really pretty much blackout zone at this point blarg

as you could infer by cab home self-portraiture

this morning i feel like this
going to dan C dog’s opening in 30 mins and i dont think that is going to help much…..

but at least i can promise tomorrow will have art and not just party!!!
