I just read this sentence in Artforum: "Most powerful, however, are the works that take the lessons of Ringholt's private world into the public one, beyond the gallery confines, whose insistent themes of social malajustment bring to mind an odd mixture of Lygia Clark, Bruce Nauman, and Jean Dubuffet--in other words, a relational therapeutic ( Read more... )

OK I just came across these vidoes of a Chris Corsano performance at the Palimpsest Fest this year and they blew me away so deeply that I just NEEDED to share them.

It's consistently rad right from his dramatic entrance, but Part 2 is the real winner for me. If you're going to watch just one, pick that!
Holy fuck.

I'm not allowed to leave my apartment and after browsing myspace aimlessly for a bit I've decided to update my livejournal ( Read more... )
