Hey. We were pretty beat from FEAST yesterday so we took it easy. Rode our bikes in a leisurely manner and made the rounds to McGolrick Park, East River State Park, and McCarren Park. Met up with August, Willow and Jeff at the last stop. Went home and made quiche. Kelly made cake. That's about it. How was your weekend?

FEAST #3

FEAST just keeps getting better. Here's a couple photos.


Joey Zvejnieks, one of the grantees from last time, talks about his project Hot Dog Hot Dog.



Counting the votes.



Jeff with the big bag of money.



Sierra Pettengill and Benjamin Cohen went home with the big grant. Their project is The Great Trans-Gowanus Cable.



Also, I just did a search for FEAST and found these photos here.


This band was good and did a Joy Division cover.



Trinie Dalton reads her story "Frog Hole '08".

Hey. Tired from FEAST yesterday. Photos above, more later.

Matt: I'm going to go back to see the Oldenberg soon. And the Sadie Benning video...Jeff said it was the best thing there. That's weird about the gallery size, I guess it did seem smaller.

Hey. Today is FEAST. Are you as excited as I am? I'll let you know how it goes.
Yesterday I didn't do too much except make a couple drawings. Then I met up with KellyR at Central Park and we took one of those rowboats for a spin. Went to the Whitney at 6 for "pay what you wish" night. I wish to pay one dollar for two tickets, please. Saw the big Jenny Holzer and it's a real mind melter. Pretty intense with the epilepsy lights and the pile of human bones. Love those redacted paintings, or at least the idea of them. Walked around upstairs there and saw a few paintings and photos, then saw Matt C on the way out.

Sour Milk: Yes, I meant "Souseton". Re: inversion goggles, I'll see if Kelly is up for Painting Party Part 2.

SoHo 1970

Hey. Went to Soho yesterday to see some art, then made some harissa spaghetti with kale for dinner. Art was good, dinner was great.

Unica Zurn at Drawing Center - pretty, spooky automatic drawings from Hans Bellmer's partner. Do I even have to tell you that there are bondage photos? Of course there are. Anybody have a copy of Dark Spring I can borrow?
Ruben Ochoa at Peter Blum - Never heard of this guy but it was great. As I was looking at it I was thinking about Los Angeles. Turns out he's from there.
Walter De Maria Earth Room - After all that dirt I figured I should pay this a visit. The best part is the way it smells when you're walking up the steps.
David Shaw at Feature - great! Should I be ashamed to admit that I went because of a Facebook post from Jesse B?

Matt: I am on a bulk foods hunt for sure. Went to some Indian place in midtown the other day but it wasn't that great.
Carl: There is definitely a cheap food gross-out factor that I am trying to avoid. I don't think Kelly would eat anything scooped out of a 5 gallon bucket.
Sour Milk: Inversion glasses kit available here. Not as cool as the old ones of course. I'll check ebay.
