Animal Saints Opening: December 5th 2008

zebra

i made a zebra... it started mainly with the lace and the giraffe print fabric, strips and just sewing them together. which became the neck and then thinking about how much is needed and how much i can exclude, how much is provided by the wearer, how much should be hidden. because masks are in this case a combination of the wearer and the fabric, empty masks mean little...
please note, this picture makes me feel really silly.

Playground 2

I uploaded this video

It is from september, when i had that show in my studio.  

pics from show at harsha's apt.

this is where the little horse was burnt
here is a picture of its ashes
to the right is the door leading to the outside world, to the left is a door leading to a bathroom. in the middle is a suitcase of animals!
here is a wall of photos of people and animals in various levels of interaction/ identity bending
through this door you can get to the kitchen, with some refreshments- pumpkin pie, peanut brittle, tea, cocoa
here is a detail of a drawing
another detail
full thing... in lower left hand corner is a t.v. where the video 'congloactiv' played
another detail of drawing...
these are photocopies from books about artists i like and am inspired by: just chose three, annette messager, rebecca horn, rirkrit tiravanija


the show was open for one night only, more like an event, we watched the video many times, and burned the horse... more to come on that...

save the date! lol...

though this is not exactly a 'save the date' announcement, since i think it comes too close to the actual event...

this friday!

J.R.C. Smith Gallery!
