Miami 2005 Embedded blog
Hello In bed in the hotel room for one hour now What are you protesting against? What have you got? 'That's so cool ' 'Art Miami is crap but nada is cool crazy and happening' We met in
Venice
'Awesome!' Someone leaves behind an Art newspaper there is a picture of us in it Watched some TV read some stuff I like this
painting (Untitled (Frankfurt) red square painting 2004) Is that
a video piece Visitors continue all day We close the door at 7
Hey you're
ouuta bed! It's an exhibition not a form of self inflicted torture We are curators not masochists Didn't I see you last night at the Delano? No Hey I saw this in Art Newspaper Weren't you at the Deitch party What are
you protesting against? No Didn't we see you at the Heeb Magazine party ? What you
watching? Is this
about the war? Can I get
you some cocktails; it's two for one at the hotel bar? Have you got bed sores? Is there
nothing for sale? oh - People
take pictures of us sitting in bed. Are there
any other events happening in the bed Is this a performance? I get it John and Yoko Did you
just meet?
A women
lies on the bed and talks poor French when she discovers that Think we meet a guerrilla girl 'I never seen such an articulate man in panty hose' This is
great A few others
say John and Yoko did this Do you get on each other's nerves What are
you protesting against?
This is
Gilbert and George meets John and Yoko What are
you protesting against? it is doomed Fight against the dictatorship of the market by being free We do an interview for WPS1
Laziness
maquerading as art 'comment'! I approve
100% of your action! Have a nice bed time Yo! You
punked out! Congrats! Very interesting
but you cannot stop progress. You must deal with it. The role of curators,
biennials and art fairs are mutating. Yet it's important to address it.
Good luck. I'm all
for guerilla art, but this just becomes another ancillary "piece"
of the fair. It's more an act of collusion, than protest. Just as self-promoting
as the rest of the bullshit happening all around the "thing".
Don't let the bedbugs bite, I whole
heartedly support your gesture in defiance of disgusting Art fairs you crazi
mudderphuckers ~ your groove i do deeply dig! Very interesting,
but, if art fairs are bad with curators, imagine art fairs without curators. anything
to get a little attention, right? Good for
you! I support your bed-in!
