Gadzooks!

So, I've been remiss in my bloggin'- I would say I've been sickly, which is true, but uninteresting. You can check my other blog for that. ANYWAY- These are images from Seattle almost 2 weeks ago- remember when I was obsessed with that blue color? So, these are the images I made that day, plus the not so great documentation of the 2nd of the "Traveling Tuna Tuesdays," complete with Pam, Michael, and great beer as well as a smashingly lovely red lamp.

2 things, actually, in that last picture I would like to draw your attention to (besides the lamp and the beer) would be the oxo salad spinner (which I still don't really know how to work) and their very fancy sandwich grill. I've decided part of this project (shoud I ever really turn it into something) will be the study and documentation of the wonderful things you can find in other people's kitchens. I really need to be a bit more scientific about it all. But what's nice is that I can replicate these sandwiches basically most places. Especially if I can find a Trader Joes. And also necessary is the IPA.

Anyway, there are more things to catch up with. Hopefully soon they will actually be more, er, um, art related...

Relational Aesthetics, what the what?

Does anyone explain it better?










So, in the last couple days, as I've been mulling over "when is performance not a performance?" I've been forced to admit that I really don't understand relational aesthetics and my place in them, not to mention how to differentiate them for just the regular wonderfully surreal life that I lead. I mean, I had Alexandro trying to scientificfy my process and got to watch impromptu hiphop art-jamming. Was that where the art was?

So, in an attempt to get a better grasp on such things I am restarting an old Portland tradition- Tuna Tuesday! Actually, I had already planned to host this dinner party long before the residency- the residency just reminded me that it had the potential to be art. So, here are some stills (my movie camera will be used in the future installments)for the 1st of the Traveling Tuna Tuesdays. Last night's took place at 200 8th Ave in absolutely lovely Brooklyn. Not sure if it's art, but heaven's it's tasty.
