Interesting.
It is cold, wet, slushy and generally nasty outside in Montreal today. As such, I have been cold, wet, slushy and mostly catching up on housework. Aw, I bet you thought I was gonna say nasty! SUCKAS!
I debated venturing out tonight and offering to shovel snow from driveways at $10 a pop, but I figured I would wind up being paid in laughter, wet socks and slammed doors. SUBURBAN F*CKAS!
IN OTHER JOBS:
I STILL NEED SUGGESTIONS FOR A RESTAURANT JOB AT MESA 14! Please suggest jobs to @mrmesa14 on Twitter. My Macaroni and Cheese Fund thanks you.
IN JOBS FROM AROUND THE WEB:
I want to go to Marina Abramović's performance exhibition "The Artist is Present" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York city.
Abramović will sit across a table and share gazes with anyone who wants to join her in her live marathon performance, which is taking place within an exhibition her past works. The MoMA has an impressive Flickr stream of the many people who have joined her, including some celebrities. The photography resulting from the brief exchanges is vivid and unnerving, possibly a kind of high definition time lapse photography.
Nooooe, not more snooooe!!!
MMMmmmmmm... $100?
I think I'll have better luck shoveling snow,
Aimee
I went to the Abramović show a few weeks ago. The staring contest is actually more interesting to view via photo montage than it is to watch in person (I didn't participate). Of course a lot of buzz is being generated by the nude performers, but really the most interesting exhibits are the videos of her original displays of endurance and (imho) masochism. Would you carve a star on your stomach with a razor blade for $100?
ReplyDeleteNot making you an actual job offer,

I answered you already, but the only thing I'll do for $100 is paint a star on my belly... and sit in front of Abramović.
ReplyDeleteI'm a web artist, not a performance artist, silly!
Though it could be argued that my project is a kind of performance art.... if performance means attention whore and art means money.
HUZZAH!
