Month: August 2013

been watching a lot of Sopranos DVDs with Joe and learning all kinds of fun new words

Schmalenberger brought a performance to the last day of library

Claywoman
i wish i had shot video because it was hilarious

i can imagine how from a photo you might not be as wowed as I was but that my friends is the nature of performance art
usually looks like crap!

Cugine

I got a new doo from Roxy

god it takes forevvvver

i look like this now!
almost back to normal
just a bit of pigeon thrown in

a quiet night for me

yes yes quiet

I like those “turn the table of drinks over and dance on the bar” kind of nights better but ho hum

sorry I took a lot of photos of my new David Shrigley book Knight brought over for the reading room

haha

hahahahahaha

ate some schnitzel with may and julian and nellie

julian took this

julian painted this!
remember from teh baby shower?

well i guess i didnt learn TOO many words from the funny TV program

i like the word goomah
not the content just the sound

i like calling a thousand dollars “large”
im going to tell people the prices on Kadar works by saying ten large or fifteen large and see how that goes

packing up fun show is sad

good thing i have a wee adventure up my seleve!

waiting

whee!
we are all just parasites

who play with toys

had a cookie monster bloody mary cuz i was nervous

some of america looks like this!

and this

and this

i am in Tulsa Oklahoma!

this made me have that Modern Lovers song “goverment center” in my head almost the entire trip

lonely wandering

this guy was cool i talked to him for a while

oh had the best food, i forgot i grew up on dad’s southern cooking and that is really the only food i really really like

i think ill pass on the gravy tho. this is just too much

ooh and then!

fun friend from the internet met me and took me to fun drag queen bar

not a drag queen
but a good karaoke singer!

i want to try this pie

instead i will sit at a diner and be intermittently stared at by the locals

oh shit
Operation Dog Fetch was a success

i picked this guy up at a shelter in Sallisaw, i found him on petfinder the adoption site, i love him so much!!!

im so nervous tho it is so stressful i have this weird lump in my stomach now at all times

i dunno maybe i just need to adjust
i keep worrying im going to hurt it or kill it accidentally

irrational i know but still, he tries to eat staples and all kinds of terribel stuff!

he was a really good boy when we went ot go see katherine bernhardt tho

yay!

good boy!

i dont want to spoil surprise so u just get one more

yay

i gotta go home and put the dog to sleep
what a weird thing to type
never thought i would type that

yesterday kadar stretchin the new works

definitely gotta come see these in person on wednesday

oh its going to be great

holey moley

some hounds

some baloons

a spaghetti

a Gelitin that reminded me of that Moreno

and a hole
come to our Hole on wednesday!!!

Finally found a website that satisfies my need for slang

It’s raining dung head-first

It’s raining cobbler boys

Dog poo is falling

It’s raining like a pissing cow

It’s raining pilot whales

It’s raining puppies

It’s raining troll women

It’s raining frogs

It’s raining pocket knives

The rain kills the mice

It’s raining old women with clubs

Those were all different countries’ translations for “raining cats and dogs”

Dressed up like a sore finger!
apparently that means dressed up nice

All mouth and no trousers
(all talk no action)

Eating dried apples
that one means to be pregnant
look at this painting he just left one boob totally hanging out, how is that ok?

Couldn’t sell a statue to a pigeon

isnt it weird to think that the ocean used to have stuff in it?

Make it moo
(put some milk in my coffee)

A Chicago pineapple
(a grenade)

The clean potato
(on the straight and narrow path)

Tulip sauce
(making out! yay i love this one)

Sugar report
(a letter or note from your sweetheart)

Two-dog night
(not a bad threesome, just means cold as in you have to sleep between two dogs, which i guess WOULD be a pretty bad threesome)

Mutton dressed as lamb
(an old lady all tarted up)

All his geese are swans
(an exaggerator)

Acknowledge the corn!
(wait i forgot this one)
(i had to google it: By folk tale, attributed to an instance of a man who stole several horses and the corn to feed them but in court only admitted to stealing the corn. thus: acknowledge defeat and admit to a mistake, cop a plea)

Dining room chairs
(teeth. i thought that was pretty clever)

The big white telephone
(toilet euphemism)

Have a hairy canary
(freak out)

wow!

Take the number 11 bus
(to walk somewhere, legs look like 11 i guess?)

these are fun these are codes people would write on an envelope to their girlfriend:
BURMA – Be Undressed, Ready My Angel

HOLLAND – Hope Our Love Lasts and Never Dies

ITALY – I Trust And Love You

“alewife” is a really good word in and of itself

LYKAH – Leave Your Knickers At Home

NORWICH – Knickers Off And Ready When I Come Home

POLO – Pants Off, Legs Open
(photo is me driving big truck up to RI and Boston and so grumpy probably not good caption for this, no)

SWANK – Sealed With A Nice Kiss

SWALCAKWS – Sealed With A Lick ‘Cos A Kiss Won’t Stick

that last one was pretty lame

so i drove up some crates to Ara to visit him and also

jim drain! hypnogoogia reunion!
i think that was the first show i got to curate at deitch 2004 or so

they were cranking out the pinwheels as a collector commission
this time enamel on aluminum! wow!

this is polenta fries on steamed mussels

ara collects and restores vintage pinballs

then in Boston had a great time at the ICA!
this is dianna molzan

klara liden
they had a sorta mini “xstraction” show up

not sure how she fits in
but this makes me think of “Pinkberry”
a chain i am sure is successful because of the subconscious nipple thoughts

outtaorders

they had a great small mary reid kelley show up too

yay!
the Barry McGee retrospective
the reason for my etre

yay!

the caption for all of these will be “yay!”

the guy was like “oh this is so clever i never actually thought about how these guys carry the paint that they need”

i like this new little compositional device

cast off childish things!

will THIS be my tattoo?

dash was so mad about this photo

font genius

ok shit these are outta order
this is a weird lamp i bought for 15 buxx on the drive home

oops haha

bought some old xmen comics i love these!!

yesterday gettin stared at by a dog in a bag

man i wished these had turned out better
i got really wasted with jesper just and these guys ran out of the bar, jumped in that thing and sped off

damn

this is why i need to use real camera again

we were drinkin’ till dawn. man i hate the sunrise. it reminds me of coke till dawn and i dont ever want that ever again not even once!

jesse edwards rare old studio shot

a new acquisition for collection grayson!
a Jamian Juliano-Villani i hope i spelled that right

one of my favourite books as a child

a new addition to teh library
advanced wickering

this is why i hate using my camera by the way

another jamian

creepy providence house

out of love

more Barry!

dont worry i took a million photos of everything

his dad’s drawings

i have had to install one of these before it is such a nightmare

sorry i took a lot of photos of this it was my favourite maybe

or this

this nice guy named Jay who reads my blog met me there and hung out with me so i wasnt alone wasnt that nice??

i take photos of this then go home and try to augment my client lists

try to find mary reid kelley on youtube and check out her videos i hate videos but hers are good i promise promise

well i guess i am back home cuz this looks like kadar

i gotta write a press release tongiht and its almost the pumpkin hour

wish me luck!

horay!!!
photobucket deleted a big group of photos for content or whatever but they didn’t delete this one
instagram did
dont you feel that this should be looked at? is somethign wrong with me?

i saw this awesome new aurel drawing and hoped it was inspired by my photo above
but maybe it just means we have somethig both wrong with the same part of our brains

while on the Fireplace site i saw this
i never have seen this Dave Sherry before!

or these!

what else is going on

I guess i’m going to just post some photos and then like go out and take some more photos on my real camera and post a real blog

that is “about something”

when I get back from my wee trip

i get to go to Providence RI tomorrow and visit Ara Peterson who made this awesome artwork then to Boston then Connecticut I think

because of instagram i strongly believe that jim drain might also be in providence…

so a real 2004 Hypnogoogia reunion!

kadar is readying himself for September 4 solo show

i got to walk on some

oh!!!

part of my attempt to make new friends
creepily photographing them without their knowledge is my strategy but not working so well. yet!

anytime someone opens their photobooth program, a puppy dies

they have some fun new features tho

googling myself

visiting Jesse
who is also preparing a big show for fall with Vito
and also preparing a big saltwater fish tank that is super exciting

Lovely Day

oh i forget his name he is sailing somewhere in Maine by now

delivery guy disappearance

movin’ on 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁

asger

ADEK

got “drunk under the table” or whatever the past tense of that colloquialism is by another danish person, this is becoming a “spree”
in the same way that i wanted to be the only girl on the baseball team, i really think that i can drink like 15 drinks and with guy friends and be fine but it doesnt work, it will never work, i need to come to some peace about this

oo!

forgot their name but it is not carol dunham i remember that

i think about sex way too much and it doesn’t help with this sexy art around

this does help actually

the art is sleeping

i like to think that my instagramming this van the day before helped it get a new paint job that night!

inflated sense of self importance still goin strong i guess!

i dunno the iphone camera isnt terrrrrrible

well sometiems it is

i got stoned and took this picture of myself and then stared at it for hours worrying that i was a robot

etc

whatever
i have no friends and i have a compulsion for photography so this is what you get

i made really gourmet potato salad one day for fun
i dont own plates or silverware, you know that right?

i read a book in central park one day for fun

i walked home at 4am from work one day for fun

does my life seem that fun? cuz its not right now

the summer show tho is super fun and every day there are people camping out here reading books and that is the only thing that keeps me going!

is it weird to not have close friend relationships but to have this weird public friend relationship with “art audience” in this generalized way?

because in the same way that i feel like i am friends with no one i also feel that i am friends with everyone!

that sounds better than it feels to be honest

im just being dramatic

wow there are a lot of these

EVERY ANGLE very thorough

the thing is that it is the books on the shelves that are also so amazing

they aren’t just filler books, there are shelves and shelves of really interesting and often rare art books

and one whole shelf of PG Wodehouse and one whole shelf of Shakespeare criticism

oh, so satisfying!

shit there’s more random shit in here

richard jackson wow the art world really slept on him!

i hope one day to own a nice wee Davina Semo

PG Wodehouse liked this illustrator so i looked him up today

very happy i did

Edsel did a show with Harland Miller and I looked it up and i am glad i did

a fist to cry on!
that is all i have
not in a gay way

this reminds me that i get to go to Paris for FIAC end of October which makes me feel slightly less despondent

my favourite photo of Holton

yes but what about dirty filthy whores? how do they find the right incurable romantic?

hmmmm

i guess that’s all i’ve got
maybe this trip to RI and then to see Barry in Boston ICA and EV at Glass House CT on way home will cheer me up
at the very least it will give me some awesome actual photos on an actual camera, promise

i haven’t done shit with my summer but yeah, you can see that for yourself right here right now

Porn, dirty stinking, horrible porn right here, right now and you are looking at it. You will go to hell for this. -David Shrigley

This is what I was doing year ago
Sorry I do that to myself sometimes
And now I am doing it to you!
It was funner when my Myspace blog still existed (WANKERS!!!!) because I could go back and be like “i wonder what i was doing on august 7th in 2007” and pretty much always it was something way awesomer than 2013 lemme tell you that

you might recognize these from instagram
after booting off i am now HERE

i did take a lot of photos from my regular camera but they got deleted somehow

and the camera i have right now has the zoom broken so it has caused a lack of alacrity to pull it out

since it sucks. so the plan is to buy a new camera at staples tomororw that works and build back some enthusiasm for using a camera again

when i think of my friends who are still shooting film and developing it and blogging it makes me feel liek such weak sauce

like the laziest in the world

i need to push myself harder, i think i mgiht have even gotten lazy at gallery

there is so much to do here and i think i get used to things and forget that i must always have fire under butt i must always be hungry and always going extra mile

no room for laurel resting, though i don’t know the etymology of that one

oh last night!!! some guy taught me this great etymology that i had never heard of
what the fuck was it

i’ve gotten into this habit of hanging out with serious drinkers and drinking shots instead of regular drinks and then waking up in my clothes going WHERE AM I

it’s not cool. i like to wake up in pyjamas or at least naked

ha ha yeah right like ive been on a date in months
ha ha yeah right like i would only sleep with someone i went on a “date” with

sorry i am just being a self-asshole ill stop

Jay Z and Sandra Gehring went on a date!
it was cute
there were a lot of people watching

oops i have more Jay Z but these are outta order

this is what i have actually been practicing this summer because i realized

one night in July when i was baking cupcakes out of loneliness

that i have no friends and have to do something about that fast

i always just left the gallery to be my friend magnet, because i learned really quick when i got hired at deitch that all i had to say in new york was that i worked at deitch and all these people wanted to be my friend all of a sudden

looks like i had an important meeting somewhere
i only wear necklaces when i have meetings

hmm. i guess posting instagram photos on this kinda lets me tweak the levels and make them a bit better

and lets me post shit like this i think
unless photobucket catches it with their Butt Algorithm

i put all my friend eggs in one egg basket and that basket is still in the fucking UK for another two weeks

need more baskets, more eggs, more people to make omelets for, more metaphors, more everything!

Seymour Butts

Barbeque face

more graffiti, more hugs

etc

etc

i turned the dick pasta into some kinda salmon dill salad thign it turned out pretty good actually

whatever the boy orders is always better tho

one lovely day last month!

this thing
denmark’s dog has invaded the gallery and is slaying everyone with that fucking face!@

remember when dash spent a whole night tryign to get ry to put his dick on this shelf? we had built the shelf and everythign but he woudlnt do it

there we go!
knew there was some more embarrassing white dancing at the jay Z thingie

i have a lot of thoughts on this but i just finished this interview about it so i dont wanna talk about it any more righ tnow

this place rules

one ill advised night i decided to try making “green bean casserole”

i bought a bike!
but it is currently in the Funch stables in greenpoint with the rest of its kind until i go pick the stupid thing up

this!
you can see more of that when I go visit may in montauk soon
i promise to bring real camera
but baby isnt down to be on the internet so you dont get baby

i wear this hat all the time now

i still huddle in the office during events and hope no one notices me

just words

THIS well this as you know has been a thing happening in july, a big thing! i have had a rollercoaster of feelings so far and im sure more to come!

these are all from this super photogenic birthday party for asger i went to

super photogenic

jeffrey deitch show 1992
its funny that people acted all like he was just a “dirty” art dealer when he has curated more museum shows than most museum curators
