Just a note,

obviously my sentences are lacking in structure and have no grammar and trail off or never finish or pop up in the middle of things BUT this is just a working space for me, not something highly polished :)

Alicia Frankovich - A plane for Behavers

I volunteered at artspace serving drinks for this exhibition. Everyone was nice but it was awkward not knowing anybody so i didn't end up going to the workshop and dinner the next night, i couldn't be bothered with having to reject non vegan food then listen to her talk about her work while i was quietly chewing off my hand. I Don't know what to say about her work, I only saw the performance where she was carried around by people. The people participating looked really stoked and acted like it was hard work carrying her around, "did you have a go?" as if it was a game or an exercise machine, something physically challenging for them. Then later on a man came up to me and asked if i was her
no, not me
yes you are *laughs* so... *art rant*
sorry wrong person, i was just serving the drinks
*ho ho ho* no you werent. so tell me about the suspention performance?
at this point amanda just leaves the building

  1. haha, i volunteered at the blue oyster last night for an opening too. I was the drinks bitch, and I tell ya, there are some itneresting people out there. Like the good old regular who has been coming to various openings since '63, just to drink copious amounts of free wine and complain about the tip jar.
