Sep 10, 2007 STUDY FOR A NARRATIVE, 2010, GALLERY PIECE (ABSTRACT PAINTING) flash movie I once showed works that consisted of framed canvasses cast in Plaster of Paris. These paintings were very beautiful, immaculately white, and very fragile. They sold well, but buyers kept complaining that the works were so very hard to keep clean. My assistent then had them sprayed with a protective layer to keep them from soiling. The covering was absolutely invisible, but when the artist discovered that the works were so changed, she withdrew the whole series and went into partnership with another gallery. Ironically, the next series she made was cast not in Plaster of Paris, but in titanium. 1921. Sep 11, 2007 STUDY FOR A NARRATIVE, 2010, GALLERY PIECE (HAIR) flash movie I find that my appearance reflects the mode of art I show. When I do pictorial work, I have my hair loose, or even set curls. When doing abstracts, I wear my hair restrained, pulled back tightly, like the suffering Joan of Arc. 1922. Sep 12, 2007 STUDY FOR A NARRATIVE, 2011, GALLERY PIECE (AXIS) flash movie There is one show I remember very vividly, although the show was just the one day, I never showed the artist again, and the whole show consisted of one single work. The artist demanded that the gallery space be dimmed to a very specific level of illumination, to which end extremely expensive equipment had to be brought in. When the work was set up, one ruby-red line of laser light stretched from one end of the room to the other, at crotch height. To be sure, there was actually nothing much to see. But if you and I were to both intercept the light, we would be mysteriously and irresistably drawn together. I think of this show every day.
