Hello Jean Michel
Finding Basquiat's grave with Georgia was a more moving experience than I expected. His grave is small and stands in a tidy line with about forty identical stones. It takes a moment to register. Many of that day's offerings seemed poached from neighbors, while others seemed to have travelled a great distance.
A list:
a drawing of a tiger on a scrap of paper a graffiti on a piece of marble a makeshift arrowhead a rock covered by a crocheted cozy various coins various stones three pens two pencils, one of them mechanical, the other one broken three string bracelets: one like snakeskin, one with a peace sign, one shiny and black a round turquoise sticker from Bar Matchless a feather from a Flicker an aging hot glue sculpture a car key a metal heart a rubber heart a quartz crystal a metal ring some string a silver bull head with horns like wings some red beads a piece of tiara two fresh clementines a small stick sculpture pushed into the ground finished blooming daffodil greens a coconut shell/gourd container witha wooden handle that I have seen in Botanicas- must have some spiritual/Santeria property? plastic glittery fern ubiquitous orange fake flowers of intederminate variety personal letters
A side note: The guard at the gate where we entered was non-plussed by our search, calling JMB "number 13 on the hit parade." He thought that Basquiat was a suicidal (and thus worthless) artist, but he was curiously good-natured about it.
Georgia On My Mind
Last weekend, I took a Saturday-before-Easter walk with Miss Georgia Wright: one of my absolute favorite people, an original thinker, possessor of that rarest gift -a knack for business and creativity. Georgia graciously met me at a really good coffee shop near the Parade Grounds in Windsor Terrace, at the back corner of Prospect Park. We strolled with our coffee, and our walk quickly became the "walk of the shiny things." We entered Green-Wood cemetery from the side, and decided to find Basquiat's grave in the back corner. We'll come back to that later.
We walked and brainstormed, coming up with ideas for exhibitions, textiles, and parties. We talked about books and friends and love. Her company is among the easiest I know, and I hope she won't mind, but I must mention the Baroness Elsa-meets-Schiaparelli inspired headwear she fashioned for herself from a discarded bouquet. She is elegant, no?
Once back in the studio, she had a stream of incredible things to say, assuaging my fears about the project and imagining incredible scenarios for my work. Here are some snippets of things Georgia said over the course of five minutes:
-I want a time-lapse video of the piece in this room all day and night but the sun coming up and going down and it's just still here, even when we are not. -I want to see it up high on a plexi platform so that it's like a ceiling and you look up and see the objects from below -Your work is very feminine, and that's not a bad thing -I wish you could get 12 glass balls and cram all the different colors - each one - into its own glass ball -What you're having trouble with is not a conceptual problem, it's a problem of presentation, a question of display.
The fair was so pretty. It kind of smelled disgusting though. So here's 42 seconds of what it was like.
