today i went over to ps1 in queens for the opening day of their greater new york show

they had some corn leading the way?

the outdoor summer installation is still in progress. what’s it gonna be!!!!

musem looks pretty tame today right?

it wasn’t! popular spot on a sunday

someone took part of a rainforest in brazil and covered it in cement. it was stinky and weird!

but i kinda liked it anyway.

here’s molly in my favorite room in the show. it’s all tape!

the artist’s name is franklin evans. i’m pretty down with these blue stripes

this was some kind of giant wall guitar. i played some jams

we saw a mountain scape carved into a big pile of architectural digests

the real draw though was a performance by terrence koh. he gave a 45 minute lecture w/slides on the past 500 years of art

but it was all in gibberish! at least i assume it was gibberish. i sat 3 feet away from james franco!!!!!!  what was awesome was that james franco was in one of the slides. i bet he felt pretty weird.

i was really surprised to see my friend alec in the performance!  he said his job was to make sure the camera guy didn’t fall over and to paint terrence white. how cool is that!!!

yeah, james franco and i had a great day together.

no more neverland

i spent last sunday moving my boyfriend’s stuff out of a condemned apartment. was it awesome? nope. but on the bright side, i got my hands on some things that i’ve really been missing for the last eight months (his stuff has been locked up since september).

we saved a box of zines from the storage unit and i spent some time going through them today. just in time for (dun dun dun….) designing prints for spring 2011!!! lots to be inspired by in this old box of stuff.

this one below was made by will luckman himself!

i made this one for will before we went to the beach

and that isn’t even the half of it. more and more digging to come. anybody have any ideas for a shark fabric?????

the pictures continue to be totally awesome:

this is where forcefield must have gotten the idea:

made a quick trip to dc last weekend. i got to see my bro and my dog

these stylish men were there too

and i went to my favorite thrift store! i got some very special goodies:

exhibit a)

exhibit b)

i got some sandals that i’m pretty excited about

my best find was this vintage united colors of benetton shirt/skirt set

it reminds me of those new pegleg x opening ceremony jumpsuits (but i like mine better)

and all for less than $20!

see ya later wooby, trees, dusens, cactus, cable television

last night i went to a show at mf gallery where gwar performed with andrew wk at an event called “crack-a-thon,” a fundraiser for gwar’s addiction to crack. i forgot my camera!!! how could i!!! here they are though in pictures stolen from the internet.

i walked in as kembra phaler and oderus were finishing up their previous set, singing “take my breath away” or some other 80s jam that i cant remember. she was all dressed up in her usual garb (paint), but with clothes, which was weird.

gwar has been alright in my book since they ate mark in empire records

gwar eats mark

here they are when i met them in texas (will’s there too)

they pretty much got drunk and treated andrew wk like a piano bar. they sang songs by billy joel, the eagles, the beatles, and closed with john lennon’s “give peace a chance,” but instead “give crack a chance.” the crack rock got tethered to my chair and it hit me in the back of the head at least 3 times.

good times! hopefully i’ll find pictures from the event on the internet and then post them up on the internet all over again!
