James Luna performing at Tranzac, Toronto in La Nostalgia Remix

Well, most of my video excerpts are too long to be uploaded here. Too bad, so sad because Guillermo's provocative spoken word performances, sensual proddings and demonic tableaux vivants were P is for powerful stuff. Here is a 3 minute excerpt from James Luna's bicycle piece. I love it & I'm going to bite it! Chomp chomp chomp chomp yummmmmmmm

La Pocha Nostra Workshop

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
I don't know what to say! What an honour to be chosen for this workshop. We were only 10, a group of dynamic lovelies performing experimental theatre games. Guillermo Gómez-Peña and James Luna were so unbelievably generous with their energies,fun and imaginative to be with. Good lord they even thanked us in their performance bill!!! What awesome human beings, absolutely no bullshit hierarchy attitude. It was really a touching experience that will fuel me for a long long time. Thank you to Red Sky Performance and Toronto Free Gallery.

Ticker Text Truisms

I like it when people write their full names. Why? I don't know.

O lalalallaal! It is completely fun and addictive for those who need procrastination foible-building.

(time passes)

By the way, this piece on the right here is called, Fucking lavender on my fucking table in fucking June. Mmmmmm why so foul-mouthed? Well I first did this intaglio in 2008 from a sketch I was sort of pleased with from my home. I was very shocked to discover that as a print it was completely horrible and saccharine and looked like the first ever print of a first-time printer. It was horrible ewwwwwwwwwwwwww yuck! I immediately made amends by giving it a feisty title to spice it up and then later during a dull slow street sale dreamt in the watercolour animals. It amused me to see people peering in to get a closer look. Hee heeee I'd laugh to myself! At Puces Pop, I eventually sold it, to a man even though I really tried to point out the rude title. I was sad to see it go. I actually tried to dissuade him from buying it!!! But I desperately needed the moola. O the prostitutionary elements of being an artist hmmmmmmmmmm.

Coocooooo how are You?

Hola! I present to you the work of Premiere Native American conceptual artist James Luna (USA) and performance artist Guillermo Gómez-Peña (Mexico). Click to see their work. It is so delicious!! I did not know I was in a tradition. I put this up for you to enjoy ok? It is cold. I am sitting in my black trenchcoat at the computer trying to write a travel grant. I am sipping tea. You may not believe me, but I miss, I miss, I miss....mmmm....ahhhhh...mmmm...I don't know how to put it. The cold is drifting around my feet and nibbling at my toes. The tip of my nose is red. I am ignoring the phone trying to get the impossible done in a ridiculously short period of time. Is it possible? I'm not sure as I type to myself. What a lonely experience grant writing is. xo
