So remember a few weeks ago I mentioned this Greek deity who seemed mildly interested in flirting with my mortalness? Well, he sent me a note saying that he’d love to get together for a drink or dinner and see if there is any spark, a spark that he is afraid just isn’t there, but I seem appealing enough on some level that he’s willing to forgo chemistry and explore a different fit. This is the guy who likes older guys, way older than my 41. I had made the horrible mistake of wearing my Vans skate shoes and a little boy plaid shirt for our coffee and left a boyish impression that I am going to have to work hard to dispel. I’ve let my beard grow out a little, so that the gray is more apparent, and I’ve cultivated a slightly hunched back. In the right light, I can scrunch my eyes for crows feet that are sure to knock his socks off. Maybe I should act distracted or fall asleep at dinner?
See Jim Campbell’s show at Hosfelt. He’s created grids of hanging strands of leds, turned towards the wall, that project near abstractions of home movies. The effect is mesmerizing, just light on wall that suddenly coalesces into something like memory. Really beautiful work.
I’ve also added a new section to my website, documenting my show at Meridian last year. Check it out! Click on the link to Spring.
