Bailing on Final Friday and Pinging Windows
Well, I'm not sure what to blog about this week because I was planning on going to Final Friday but am bailing on that, assuming it is still on. The little icy pellets pinging off my windows advise me that this is a good decision. About art. . . I've been reading quite a bit about feminism in art lately for a research project in art history. I fell asleep last night reading the Guerilla Girls Bedside Compainion to the History of Western Art and had a crazy dream. In the dream I was a black and white stick figure rotating on an imaginary axis and being sucked into a swirling vortex that eminated from the center of a Robert Delaunay painting. I thought I was going to be swallowed alive (you'd get this better if you read pages 60-61 of the book). Instead of being terrified, I felt a detached sense of humor about the whole thing and asked the painting where was its mustache. El whacko, I know but now I've started wondering about the Guerilla Girls' identities. I'm faily sure Ida Applebroog, Louise Bourgeois, Jenny Holzer, and Barbara Kruger are involved. Maybe Ann Hamilton and Yoko Ono too. Does anyone else have an opinion about who they are? Also, thanks for the moive tip, Daniel. I want to check it out. Hope everyone has a warm and safe weekend. ann
