weirdo

in doing research for this thing i'm putting on in july for this organization i work for i found this. Julia Randall's art is weird and freaky. It's sexually explicit but have certain social underpinnings. par example lets take above image: makeup case with a tongue -> looking at yourself to make sure you look good for whatever normative person with preconceived notions for standards of beauty you're trying to impress -> tongue staring back at you -> if you don't look good for said person with preconceived notions of what beautiful is then you won't get any tongue action at all. oh and i think she teaches at wesleyan. cause what person i stumble upon doesn't haven't an association with wesleyan. oh, me. that's right. and i'm really fucking successful at this point so people from wesleyan should be crying about not going to macalester. CRYING.

south africa and new york are like the same place

I watched this art21 episode about William Kentridge and dude is Theman Jones. "Best known for animated films based on charcoal drawings, he also works in prints, books, collage, sculpture, and the performing arts." he goes in on the effects of apartheid and colonialism in the neatest way i've certainly encountered! yay for art! yippie! he has an exhibit at the MOMA until may 17 and I'm hyped.com to go. anyone wanna take me on a date? sometimes i'm pretty. i can definitely look pretty if you want me to. i'll look pretty for William Kentridge. and for you.
