Got to go on an incredible tour last night of the archive and studio of Shigeko Kubota with @skvaf . It was so special to see her work in this environment stewarded by such a generous team and very cool to see process paintings, ephemera, and gear from the collection. Thanks to @archivistsroundtable for organizing. Reach out to @skvaf if you’d like to visit! 💗 Pictured here: the Paik-Abe Video Synthesizer [edit: actually Hearn EAB Video Lab "A" and "B" modules], Video Poem, Duchampiana: Nude Descending a Staircase (1:1 educational copy), Duchamp’s Grave, Duchampiana Chess, and [a camera often used with] the portapak
I ❤️ Pat Oleszko. She is a warm embrace in this dark moment and is deeply inspiring for me. The joy at her opening was palpable. See photos of her work in my previous post and go see her show at @thesculpturecenter !
Incredible Pat Oleszko show at @thesculpturecenter ! I had a big dumb grin on my face the whole night. I was so excited to see this work in person that I almost teared up multiple times, especially upon entering the corridors of costumes on the lower level. I love it all - the insightful wit, the humor, the copious amounts of puns, the aesthetic, the skill, the ethos, and the energy. A must-see! And there is so much more than what I’ve shared here. 💗

Park Slope was lit during treat time on Friday! Busted out the cardinal costume circa late aughts for early evening. Mistaken for a rooster or angry bird by many. I made the headpiece after finding the bird body at a vintage costume shop many years ago. Dark woodland decor by @brinathurston and @nameless_kvlt 🪵👹👽
Some favorite costumes from @nynighttrain ‘s Halloween Party! I missed many great ones including an incredible Skeksi (Chamberlain) from Dark Crystal. Pics of my own costume and views from the stage forthcoming.

Plastic dress and bags made for CHERYL Plastic @cherylwillruin at @rub_ulad . Dress was based on a clear dress I got from Fashion Brand Company years ago that had deteriorated. The clear bags/sculptures are brand new. Closeups of the bags follow the full body shots.
