ideas

-make a performance of not knowing how to perform. stand awkwardly in front of the camera, in a corner or on a street near my apartment and film the action. don't tell anyone about it in advance and let the video stand in for the actual piece.

-take off all your clothes and lay them out piece by piece in front of you. empty your pockets. fold up your glasses and leave them on the floor. put them back on in the reverse order you took them off. photograph each item as you remove it.

A performance / event / situation … mixed situation in which artists respond to the riddle what is no sooner spoken than broken.
Expect a few objects, no videos and live and ambient situations themed around awkward silences, broken promises, oversharing, and underperforming.
(The answer to the riddle is silence or a secret.)

2 Versions of Meredith.

Two images from a recent shoot I did with my ex-girlfriend and longtime friend Meredith for the I'll Take Care of You project... Can't quite decide which image I like better, though I'm leaning towards the image in the bedroom... I just really like the angle I'm sitting at, and the lighting. It sort of reminds me of this image I took of my friends Scott and Brian, back when they were dating a few years ago. I'm wondering if maybe I want to show multiple moments from one session with certain people, perhaps working them into dyptichs or something as a way of extending that relationship... hmmmm.

Michael Wolf's Transparent City

Great video interview over at Conscientious with Michael Wolf about his Transparent City project that's up at Aperture right now. Strangely enough, I was walking around galleries in chelsea on Saturday and managed to somehow bump into Joerg Colburg at pretty much every space I went to, and happened to be looking at the Michael Wolf show while he was doing this interview. Really weird. Also, I was looking at the Barbara Crane show in back and almost literally bumped into Todd Papageorge, which made for a pretty awkward "you're in the way of the photographs I'm looking at" dance around a cluster of images. I'm very, very easily intimidated by people in the art world. Go figure.
