Hello, Operator? what happens when you start to imitate the interface of your blog?

Readymade Canvas-furniture: Boulder, 2005.

Basically,
large canvases painted white or black
and assembled into a couch with a projection
of any textile (leather?) or words from pomes
projected onto the canvas-furniture durable
enough to use or at least sit on for until it breaks.
Have begun making little models of these and
want the fucken money to make em' life-size. holler.

heart,
FLIpKea

P.S.
I don't think so: http://mocoloco.com/upload/2007/11/tokyo_design_we/tide0802.jpg

Punky Brewster: spoil painting notes, 10/07.

Robert Stam's "Mobilizing Fictions"
"...a mass of spoiled children sitting before their TV sets, children who require
a periodic state of the art slaughter to cure their sociopathological meloncholy..." (108)

-"Since television as an institution fosters a phantasmatic relationship between the viewer
and the news celebrity, people who scarcely know their neighbors are convinced that they
know and love the newscasters." (109)

-Their minimal performance style orchestrates barely perceptible smiles
and the delicate lowering or raising of the eyebrows in conjunction with slight variations
in tone and stress, constructs a studied expressionlessness usually triggering an effect
of neutrality, a calculated ambiguity of expression open to the most diverse projections." (109)

-Going through a brief recollection of my position as a child watching this show,
the metaphor of the TV screen as a mirror & touching on identity; how Punky served as a role model/friend/
her fulfilling certain unimagined fantasies as a kid, while at the same time narrating a corner of my childhood
which I actively participated in through viewership & to some extent desire. She provided a space/time of 'being',
without being, but watching her become or age alongside myself, not in the sense of comparison, but
as a sign of support and admiration.

-The guitar music in the background in conjunct to the legband sticking out of the door.

-The sentimentality of the narrative working with or against the sentimentality of the sound effect
when Punky walks out of the room.

-Then working into some of Klee's paintings (geometric shapes,colors) which reminded me of Punky, the sense of time from 1926 vs. 1984 vs. the present.

video: A voice-over of a Punky Brewster interview
-slowness, duration, speed
-flipping over the usual expectations of culture/ethnic and calling attention to comparing it to oil painting.
-voice sounded detached in beginning and then personal voice went into it second half.
-written narrative vs. voice sounding--> tonal differences which can also be subtle.
-painting into the flow of dream, thought, sleep, & how it leads into that blackout.

the New Theatre

On May 6th, 2007 SuperCuts held its
annual hairstyling competition at Pechanga
Casino & Resort in So.Cal. Many gathered
for collective simulation in homage to G. Debord.
They cut & styled one another's hair, competed
and strutted down a persian rug catwalk, arm in arm
with stylist & volunteer. A sacrificial ceremony for
hair as a profitable revenue, an outpour of Paul Mitchell,
& Tiki products emanating from their eyes & scalp;
an event to celebrate their inner celebrity. A cause to
celebrate lack of celebrity or in promotion of the fame-industry
itself. Sure, the phantasmagoria of split ends, dyes & cuts; a
parody that owes itself to the platform of a New Theatre: Supercuts,
(targeted towards men) one of 6 chain salons owned by the multibilion dollar Regis franchise.

Hey: (in homage to supercuts post-pinstripe Law Suit)

Hey kid,
you.
