When Charlotte Brontë was thirteen and her brother, Branwell, was twelve, they designed and wrote a series of tiny books: “Measuring less than one inch by two inches, the books were made from scraps of paper and constructed by hand. Despite their diminutive size, the books contained big adventures, written in ink in careful script.”

"With eyes closed, graphite on the hands and estimating a lapsed time of 3 minutes, both hands attempt to descend the page with identical touching motions in an effort to keep to even vertical column of touches. Time estimation error: +8 seconds "

“I don’t want to create a fixed, predictable program of activity. To me a happening is more about empowering the audience and performers, more about collective energy. I’m imagining a kaleidoscope of different mediums and voices.”

Artist Doug Aitken will send a group of artists and musicians—including Kenneth Anger, Beck, and Olaf Breuning—on an Amtrak train from New York to California, with ten stops for art and performances.

Found more info here, including the schedule:

Station to Station stops include:  September 6, 2013      New York, New York   September 8, 2013      Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania    September 12, 2013    Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota   September 14, 2013    Chicago, Illinois               September 16, 2013    Kansas City, Missouri      September 20, 2013    Lamy/Santa Fe, New Mexico  September 22, 2013    Winslow, Arizona           September 24, 2013    Barstow, California     September 26, 2013    Los Angeles, California       September 28, 2013    Oakland/San Francisco, California

Keith Haring would’ve turned 55 today. Happy Birthday

[feelingaroundinthefog-blog]

He was there. Alive. In the streets. Working. I saw him. I did. And there was a little Keith Haring shop... near Mulberry or Elizabeth Street. I have his coloring book and watch. He was brave, you know. Outward, yet modest. And brave. There are a lot of people like that who I didn't exactly "meet" but witnessed in real time, including Andy Warhol (+ David Byrne; Laurie Anderson; Woody Allen--who I actually spoke with).

performance art

i like performance art more after the fact.  when its been photographed or filmed.  i know i sound narrow minded its just for me i always felt like life is a performance piece.  so designating  a time and space to show that you’re human well that part feels weird to me.  but who knows maybe one day i will be like my fellow country mate marina abramovic or maybe not.                   i am not dismissing any performance art and i actually do enjoy marinas work.
