a show!
Hi!
If any of you are in New York this Thursday (probably you will not be) you should go to this (where my fly calendar is currently located)--I won't be able to be there but if you go I would love to hear about what it is like. Maybe someone could go dressed like a locust?
The opening is from 6-8 on Thursday but the show will be up until March 29. The address 111 Front St. #228 in Brooklyn. The telephone number of the gallery is 212.255.6651 & the website is www.airgallery.org.

The quotidian is that which binds the enormous to the infinitesimal,
The central dilemma of Translation and Conversion: A Meditation of the Everyday in Three Parts, exists within the enactment of a series of performances that speak of our desire to celebrate the liminal, repetitious, and hypnotic actions of the quotidian as they unfold within the home. At the same time we're inviting viewers and participants to question why this historically idealized icon the home, a witness to generations of collective dreams and desires, has become the site of an increasingly stealthy and pervasive anxiety.
How does the notion of home—as the necessary architecture of human existence—reflect the social and political policies that shape it? Is it possible to empower this space by recognizing its unique qualities and therefore its potential? As the media funnels fear into every aspect of contemporary life, is there a space that we can consider private? Is home an action or intention? What we're discovering through this work is that the everyday, as seen through the lens of the quotidian, is not some notion of idyllic bliss but rather a powerful indicator of the health of a species—a barometer of its external skin.
