Sally McKay's Top Ten things that made me excited about doing art projects in 2007
1. Andrea Fraser's performance Official Welcome, seen at Power Plant as part of Auto Emotion: Autobiography, emotion and self-fashioning (link is to youtube...Fraser's performance is all there)
2. Amos Latteier's performance as Master of Ceremonies at this year's Subtle Technologies conference. Over the two days, he delivered a whole lecture about "Figures" in tiny 2-5 minute chunks between presentations.
3. Kara Hearn's video, One Thing After Another
4. Halil Altindere's video installation, Dengbęjs at Documenta
5. Michael Belmore's installation at Tree Museum (sorry, no pics)
6. L.M.'s gifs
7. Richard Hill's lecture/presentation on his exhibition World Upside Down
8. Tangerines in a Red Net Bag
9. The activity room at the Bay Area Maker Fair
10. Hanging out with GVB
bonus: Mr. Wilson's December 25th drawing at the Arboretum is a sad and lovely bleak midwinter moment
I'm also in agreement with others here that Persona Volare's Tree Museum show, Fastwürms' Donkey Witch, Yedessa Hendeles' Dead Dead Dead and Kent Monkman's The Triumph of Mischief were all stellar highlights.
I like this image of Michael Belmore's piece, but it gives no indication of the slightly treacherous rock scrambling you have to do to see it. Kate Wilson showed me the way, but stopped short of the last slippery rock pile and said: "It's over there, you go on ahead"
there was a tiny grey snake up there, with a yellow/white-ish band around its neck.
Hey, there was a snake when we were there too. Made this weird rattling noise.
K.W. said to just step over it.
Years ago I had a dog. His favourite toy? A brick. On one occasion he played with an Eastern Massasauga rattlesnake. And lived.
