| Still from Tangerine (2015) |
I don’t want to blog today but I (self-inflicted) have to,
so for today I will do one sentence reviews of things I liked and disliked in
art, life, culture. Sorry, not sorry.
Tangerine (movie) – If you want your eyeballs, ears and a
bit of your heart to thump then watch this surprisingly captivating movie.
Fischli and Weiss (Guggenheim) – Laugh out loud clay
sculptures the rest is doomed in the Lloyd Wright conundrum that is the spiral
ramps.
I Pledge Allegiance (On Steller Rays) – Faux grubby/sincere
in a good way overall and Jason Benson is the literal light of the show.
John Oliver on Trump – One word: Drumpf.
Marcel Broodthaers (MoMA) – Sculptures wow – Overwrought
Brussels humor meh.
Park McArthur’s Sort of Like a Hug (essay) – Understand why
someone sent me this to read but feel I didn’t need/want to read it.
Damn Daniel (meme) – Reminds me of boys in high school that
didn’t want to date me/ vice versa.
Future’s Purple Reign (song) – Catchy as heck and probably
the best song to listen to while walking to/out of a subway.
Oscars – Doesn’t seem like something I have/will/ever care
about.
Zika Virus – “We” only care about it because of the
Olympics.
Talenti Gelato – Sort of winning it in the home gelato
industry and their reusable containers are effective re-marketing lunch boxes.
Cy Twombly’s Death – The papers seemed very prepared for his
obit which seems a bit #dark.
Spain (restaurant) – Obviously this place had health and
safety issues but man, it’s Spain!
Slate (Magazine) – I’ve meet more people associated with
Slate in the past two weeks then I have in my entire life aka suspect.
Armory Week – Eyes glaze over.
Candy Crush Jelly Ads – Makes me feel slightly nauseous and
terrified.
Casper Bed Ads – Makes me realize everything is an inside
job.
Syphilis Subway Ads – Makes me think of a flow chart showing
the increase of STDs in relationship to dating apps.
Those Ads about meals (ingredients/recipe) getting shipped
to you – Makes me imagine unhappy couples eating silently on ‘mid-century’
furniture.
Andrea Fraser (Whitney) – Thinking how I will eat rice and
beans for a few days to offset the cost to see this.
Chris Kraus – Yup, still haven’t read anything by her even
though I have her book right next to me.
Obama Interacting with Kids – Looking at these en masse online
the other day actually made me a bit weepy.
Donald Trump – We get what we deserve.
