Yesterday 1st Franklin-Furnace related meeting, looking at the “Thinking Pictures” – Studio on 16. Street in Chelsea. God it was chaotic. They were just launching a cybercasting of the Band “STARR” within their www.Rock.com (?) Program, so ff-applicants were totally mixed in with Girlie-fans; it was too loud to talk + they didn’t even yet set up a schedule. But it was good to see how tiny and/or increasingly foggy the cybercast image is. The image I saw was this big:
(Little drawing)
Only parts of the movement, single frames, could be seen. As an image it started to get visually interesting at head size. So of course that changes the whole concept completely. Because if the cybercasting is a way of reaching audiences – the performance should be cut out for it.
It was funny, when the founder Martha Wilson walked up, I asked her whether she was Betsey Gallagher (a much “smaller” organizer) + then realized no way: too big an aura. Embarrassing, but kinda funny. Anyway the whole thing was much less professionally organized than I thought it would be + now I am much less nervous about my own thing.

“Drink til I Drop” – Drink Beer, Camera on face, Drink fast, See what happens, Get Sick.
Probably been there a million times (the idea – not me).
God – at the moment I really don’t see what I would even want to convey in a performance. What I would like to see in a performance. Why performance. Lordy. The leg-shaving thing was nicely sensual, but first of all I’ve already done it, time has moved on, and second I really don’t want to work on gender-related issues too much anymore because they have flooded contemporary art anyway.
1 woman yesterday – another perf. artist, I assume – wore these huge claws or feet as earrings + giant bone bracelets. It looked a little ridiculous, esp. since the voodoo-aura did not correspond with her bitter face with its downward pointing mouth. She was very tall + had bad posture. Too dramatic to be interesting, I believe.
