This week I went to the MOMA to see the new exhibitions that were put up since I have been living in Chicago for the past year. As I took in all the new exhibitions I came across the work of Sharon Hayes. I was very struck by her text pieces in the exhibition Ecstatic Alphabets/ Heaps of Language which is on view from May 6 to August 27 2012. Her pieces were scattered across this exhibition space in a way that made you have to explore the space to find. I really enjoyed this aspect of the exhibition, I thought it was very well curated. While exploring a room containing an installation by Karl Holmqvist, I discovered yet another well hidden Sharon Hayes Piece hung very close to the ground. I found these almost love poems or journal entries and their political undertones to have a big impact in this exhibition though they were quite hidden. After looking into her work I was interested to find that much of her work is performance based, she executes many mediums with great skill and master. A quote from her piece May 1st really struck me. “I have neither thy enemy or you to sleep with. I come home to my quiet bedroom and their is nothing there but an indescribable fear of the future” This statement hits home to many young people in America today. I was struck with the honesty in her work and the way she played with the uncomfortable nature of the audience viewing these private statements.

This tattoo is inspired by The Beatles’ song “Blackbird” and it says “You were only waiting for this moment to be free. Blackbird, fly.”

I got it at Bang Bang Tattoos in Sintra (Portugal, near Lisbon) with the artist Hugo Makarov, he was awesome.

this just happened.

Sue: A lot of people say the same things and same concepts.
But rarely does it influence a different perspective or approach.
Which is what you did.
Chris: well good, because you should trust yourself
you might not be right about everything but you deserve to be happy with whats going on around you
Sue: :') Chris you're my favourite boyfriend that's not mine
Chris: daw thanks sue

Yesterday, I found a sketch of one of my ex-boyfriends while I was decorating my apartment with them. (Picture above is a model from class) It inspired me to tweet:

‘Date a guy. Use him as a model. Break up. Sell artwork for solace. PROFIT #MONEY.’

I thought it was pretty funny.

12 hours later, after having a pretty decent day with Mahkus - the guy I’ve been dating - playing racquetball with him for the first time, and splitting to do our separate things and planning to meet up to have fun later in the night. And when I finally meet him at the last thing we were going to do that night, it was one of his fraterbity brother’s birthdays at the haus, he breaks up with me, in front of the fraterbity haus.

Well, farts.

I don’t have artwork of him. But I have many poor, quality pictures from my phone/camera I can’t sell or anything. SO. Here’s what I’m going to.

Some time in the future when printing costs drop, I’ll print those pictures out and BURN THEM. Ha-HAH!

Constructive Suelutions. Take my word for it, bro.

@cityandcolour has been with me for so long. This song has a place in my heart. Some day, someone really special will play it to me, hopefully without tainted, painful association. Hopefully with guitar of a better brand than Taylor. Everything I know about guitars is because of my very first boyfriend, Alan, in high school, who is incredibly gifted in playing music. It’s hard not to be reminded; both he and my most recent boyfriend also had Taylor guitars. I mean I know it’s a popular instrument. Everyone has weird associations though. Alan also got me into this artist City and Colour. Luckily, time allowed the music to surpass the past with sad associations.

Rambling. I’m still pretty bad at this blahging thing. I’m not very cohesive O_O
