my new show opens this friday (6pm/9pm) at nationale...
along a video installation by david neevel, and with materials provided by marty snap, anna weber, emily baker, rikki rothenberg, jason rens, christy lutz, chelsea heffner, emma lipp, carson ellis, clara seasholtz, and eliza fernand.

white rainbow plays at 8pm.

most importantly, the show will turn around mid month and most of the material providers will then show work of their own. makes no sense? just come and see for yourself!

2010-05-22T15:04:00.001-07:00

Rex Ruins (May 2010)--
One of the ﬁrst things that came to mind about this project and the theme of forgiveness was a verse by Leonard Cohen,

"And what can I tell you my brother, my killer.
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you.
I'm glad you stood in my way."

I like to think that with the word "guess" Cohen is saying that the action is not really up to him. When one is scarred psychologically and searching for solace, isn't time the ultimate performer in the task of forgiveness? Who are we to say that we forgive when we will indeﬁnitely be surrounded by reminders of the damage done? Haunted by the ruins and the saboteurs, wouldn't it be better to forget? My problem is that I remember. Maybe too much.
Knowing that I cannot erase the past, I thought I might be able to rearrange its reminders into something fresh and different. I've decided to construct a new path, one that no longer leads back to my subject.

"To err is human, to forgive is divine.”
-- Alexander Pope

for david berman

2010-04-03T19:13:00.000-07:00

I love the sound of a jukebox playin'
So I sit here while she's staying home
Watching Dallas on TV
I love the taste of whiskey straight
The strongest thing she ever takes
Is a sip from a small glass of chablis

I've got that Friday night fever
Sometimes a man just needs a breather
She knows I love her and I need her
And I'm no cheater
I've just got that Friday night fever

She wouldn't change me if she could
I wouldn't change her, she's too good
Sometimes a man just needs a change of pace
I've heard all those come on lines
But I go home at closing time
I know no one could ever take her place

I've got that Friday night fever
Sometimes a man just needs a breather
She knows I love her and I need her
And I'm no cheater
I've just got that Friday night fever

misconceptions about you…

2010-03-28T14:00:00.000-07:00

that i do the things i do because i’m french. people like to always say that, “oh, she’s just french”, on issues that are such clichés. but then, they never really take the time to ask themselves what is truly different within these two cultures, and they often fail to recognize the things that i do do because i’m french. because of my upbringing. my not shaving my armpits has nothing to do with my being french, every woman i know in france shaves their armpits, maybe not obsessively everyday, but they still shave them. however, my not being an optimist has a lot to do with growing up in a country that lost its glory two hundred years ago and has gone through two world wars on its soil while being occupied. my grandmother at her death left a letter saying ” i was a very happy person until the age of 7, in 1914, when my father was sent to war”. this, i think, reveals so much more about me and the culture i come from than whether i have baguette, cheese and red wine for dinner every night.

My Daughter and Apple Pie

She serves me a piece of it a few minutes
out of the oven. A little steam rises
from the slits on top. Sugar and spice-
cinnamon-burned into the crust.
But she's wearing these dark glasses
in the kitchen at ten o'clock
in the morning-everything nice-
as she watches me break off
a piece, bring it to my mouth,
and blow on it. My daughter's kitchen,
in winter. I fork the pie in
and tell myself to stay out of it.
She says she loves him. No way
could it be worse.
