410 Boyd – The Curse of Cocola
Living in a city too long can keep you tethered to memories and make the world make less sense than if you had forgotten whole years. The blur of time can be your friend. Sometimes when you have the flu or some other painful condition that puts you in bed but keeps you conscious, just …
Preparing for Karen Finley Performance
Lots of prep, never done a serious theater-like presentation in a gallery… She will be projecting images and then making an image which will be broadcast onto the television while she makes it. The gallery wall is lined with her art…It should be a fun night.
MOCA Fires Curator Paul Schimmel

DESSERT BLOG
My New Year's Dessert blogging has already skipped a bit, but it is not because I have been skipping dessert, oh hell no. The main reason I have not been blogging is that most of my desserts this year have been ice cream at home after dinner. Even when we have dined out I have …
