The Excess of Speed Turns Into Repose

These are some books that I’m not sure how I’m working with yet (reading, yes, but maybe also using for making little sculptures).

The Work Office project went really well! There are pictures of it here. The days spent pinning it and reading the posts made me really self-conscious. I kept looking at people on trains wondering if they were having a Missed Connection or if I would go through the posts and find one for (gasp!) me. That didn’t happen. That’s okay.

People seemed to really like it at the Payday Party and I had a lot of fun. If you’re in New York, the piece will be up until this Thursday and then they have their next (and last! oh no!) Payday Party. You should look at it, and talk to Naomi and Katarina, because they make projects like this happen in addition to their separate art practices and full-time jobs.

(It’s funny, I was just reading an article about the dangers in multi-tasking but all the people I admire are such amazing multi-taskers. That was about driving with cell phones, though. Which is different [by which I mean "really dumb"].)

On Sunday my friend Carey and I are hosting a get together to see what happens when people try to put together the gigantic puzzle we made. I expect it will be awesome. 7pm, BMA steps. Pizza and beer and puzzles! Everyone loves those!

What else? David Harvey, polders, too many bagels (there is such a thing).
