i think the symbolism of my show was lost on everyone...
"danish" was alluding to the political cartoons in the danish newspaper a few weeks ago that other papers then also printed, which "insulted" the prophet mohammed, according to many people of islamic faith, which resulted in the burning the danish flag almost every day now since then: tens of thousands rioting about it in the streets (mayhem times infinity), a civil war broke out in iraq...it's been nuts over there, to say the least. many have died.
when we were pissed about the french not joining us in the fight against iraq, and we had our little sulky fest (minus car bombs , thankfully which hardly makes us more "civil") some people decided to call "french fries" ... "freedom fries" (although french fries have nothing to do with the french..but hey "stick it to the "man").
some in the islamic countries have decided to call danishes (the pastry) "roses of the prophet mohammed".
which is equally as stupid.
and the world has gone nuts, and so my american unholy fake titted misinformed bloated self decided to be "sprockets" about it (the sat nite live skit from way back, making fun of german art tv) called my performance tonight "danish"
which was all the more funny (or unfunny depending on who you are) that i was drinking he'brew , the beer of the chosen, at the same time. so i was really poking fun at almost all the major world religions, islam, christianity, judaism. and i was trying to say things were not black and white (the zebra, the black orb within the white orb)
but ya, not too many people got this
joke or symbolism.
it was very specific. but funny as hell to me) if you were up on it all.
but yes, done in a surreal way, and then again with "my fake pear"...which
ws making fun of americana and consumerism.
which is one of the reasons i never
found doonesbery funny, because i just wasn't "hip"
to the news.
and now here i am, the boobalishious "sprockets" version of doonsebury. how more obtuse can i be? :)
then the fact that a naked woman was saying all this furtherly empathized how religions frown on nudity.
but ya...i think it such a specific
thing that i'm sure most of this was lost on most people.
i was also trying to point out how unfeeling we are , as a world.
the danes not feeling what the islamists feel.
religion not feeling what a lot of women feel. (women as slaves...or we all
are slaves to this)
and then just the unfeeling consumerism of it all.
masks, and bits of dolls...
me looking like marie antionette "let them eat cake" (or danishes)
i didn't expect anyone to get all of that.
BUT i really did think people would get the danish part of it, because of
the cartoons and the riots.
of course, it was just meant to be
surreal and look pretty, too.
and i did not see the sybolism of my work until it was over with,
i just "go with the flow" and then it is revealed to me.
BUT, i did mean for the danish to be about the rioting over the danish cartoons.

i got the most AMAZING lamp by from
a person named rolf who sent it to my p.o. box.
i don't even have time to describe it now and tell you how delighted i am.
and tell you the story of the 36 foot sculpture today that is made entirely
out of luminescent mexican onyx.
i have so much to say about that and i was truly and completely floored by
it's beauty and power. awestruck.
it's called "the vision of peace" and it's in the courthouse.
probably why i have never seen it because i have never been to the courthouse
until today. and the only reason i went there is because i was looking for
that sculpture because it was in the new lili taylor movie that i just saw
at the walker.
but even on film, you can capture the absolutely awe inspiring feeling to
see it and the art deco hallway with mirrored ceilings it is in. it's just...indescribable.
but i don't know if it is so much a "vision of peace" as a "vision
of sacrifice".
and i haven't even had time to open the rest of my mail.
and my show will be on in about an hour so i have to get ready for that now.
i will try to write this all out later tonight.
but i have so much to tell you and describe to you!
and i have SO much to take pictures of this spring.
there are wonderous TREASURES in my city that i have never even seen!
who knew this MASSIVE 36 foot tall onyx sculpture was in my city?
just wtf?
and it's more than that....so much more...
so much to explore...so much to say but i must go now and get ready.
and i am definitely using my new fabulous lamp in my show tonight!
bubblewrap and foam peanuts are everywhere
all over my floor.
i am a total greasy sweaty mess.
i must transform myself into a goddess pronto.
4:12pm
dear person who bought the
444 box from me,
please email me again with your address, if you see this :)

Horoscope for Aries (March 1 2006)
With the moon moving into your sign early this morning you can expect to enjoy a day of activity and achievement, particularly since the aspect between the moon and your ruling planet is so positive. Making changes to your immediate environment will appeal right now!
and
Weak, transient effect: This morning your rational and logical mind is going to be strongly influenced by your moods, which could be either positive or negative, depending on other factors. For this reason it is not the best time to make a decision. But it is a good time to gather information that you can later base a decision on, especially information on how you really feel about some matter. This is a good time to talk about your feelings. At other times you may find it difficult to express your emotions, but under this influence it should be relatively easy. Communications with women are usually very good now. Moods in general change very rapidly at this time, but it is not possible to specify the kinds of changes. This influence has no particular "good" or "bad" effect upon the emotions.
and
The Moon rams into Aries today at 4:18 am EST, encouraging us to take risks by responding impulsively to the changing circumstances of the day. Additionally, the Sun in sensitive Pisces conjuncts electric Uranus, the planet of sudden change. This powerful combination brings flashes of inspiration and awareness. Hidden feelings are exposed; sleeping tensions are awakened. Although the Moon forms a harmonious trine with restrictive Saturn midday, this isn't enough to subdue the dramatic expression of rebellion and freedom released by Uranus.
and
It's the first of March on the Roman calendar version. Moon into Aries the first of the signs but the lunar hand on the clock. The Sun conjuncts Uranus early in the morning also giving the day and the next few a tinge of the impossible slipping into the conceivable. Rather then looking at the knotted areas of our life and seeing how tangled and convoluted they are see the comic book level shift that could loose them. Of course 'it all burns to the ground' is always a last option but really there must be some mix of magical and practical that could infuse any area of conflict and shift it powerfully and instantly.
The newMoon loves Aries, giving a sense of vigorousness and physical freedom that we haven't had for a bit, the aches and pains of the last few days don't influence us as much. Now is the time to be slow and sure though, conception of the great journey or transformation has to have some basic simple steps to begin.
