Monday: something to make me smile



Why the creepy trailer in a low opacity at the beginning of the video? Love the red, sparkled devil that walks in intermittently. The platform patten leather boots, and strapped white sandals, and the cherry on top is their overall apathy…happy day.

BRUCEFORMA 2010


I am pleased to announce a performance in correlation with The Bruce High Quality Foundation. The piece is entitled “Nest” and will be shown at 7 PM the evening of February 27th 2010.



“I think the Brucennial is like—in the life of the people—it’s like an anniversary in the life of people. The people, they need moments to celebrate themselves and that’s what a Brucennial is. The Brucennial happens every two years, or really, you know, whenever we feel like it, and it’s a moment of celebration of the history of the people—of the reason why the people exist, of the nature of the people. Again, it’s like a person. If not there would be a flux of time without an interruption and I think that as people, people are live entities and they need to have some moments where they recognize this liveliness of their existence.”

-Francesco Bonami

SoHo: The Bruce High Quality Foundation is pleased to announce the opening of The BRUCENNIAL 2010: Miseducation on February 25th at 6pm. BRUCEFORMA:  FEB 27, 6PM – MIDNIGHT

Since its founding, the BRUCENNIAL has evolved into The Bruce High Quality Foundation’s signature public program, as well as the most important survey of contemporary art in the world ever. Following the triumphant successes of BRUCENNIAL08: Doing it Again (Bushwick) and BRUCENNIAL09: Smithumenta (Carol Gardens), BRUCENNIAL2010: Miseducation brings together 420 artists from 911 countries working in 666 discrete disciplines to reclaim education as part of an artist’s ongoing practice beyond the principals of any one institution or experience.

The BRUCENNIAL will be housed at 350 West Broadway. Additionally, BHQFU projects will be on view at RECESS at 41 Grand Street.

The BRUCENNIAL is presented by The Bruce High Quality Foundation in collaboration with Vito Schnabel. 350 West Broadway is provided courtesy of Aby Rosen.

Denver Forever


My friend, Mark Sink, recently had a show in Denver and my work/reliquaries of my existence there seem to be on display.  Illiterate Magazine put it on, it seems like they are doing a lot of decent things there.

One more inspiring short


As time falls away from me and deadlines loom I am reminded to distract myself. Procrastination always wins. This short video is beautifully shot and the soundtrack is so ominous. Love the little girl’s spindly legs swimming in her baby-doll dress. The fimo-like smiling face of the pencil is my least favorite part.

A friend turned me towards this short animation. Seems to ring true…

BOFFO NY & Yours Truly


My, oh my, I am at it again.

At 18 years, I had never been in love, never even had a boyfriend, and never thought any of this would change…

Eliciting the wistful tears of a naïve teenager, I will channel 16, 17 and 18 year-old Damaris for my performance piece this Saturday. Come watch me write out my super-top-secret-lovey-dovey journal entries from high school.

“I can feel you, I know you exist. You flow through my veins, live in my chest…”- Just a snippet.

Ever seen a girl in a nightgown on a 30 ft ladder writing in lipstick on windowpanes? I am defying impending death while speaking from my teenage heart. Come September 19th and check it out.
