Retrospective My Ass by Frank Fu
Louvre Museum
回屁展 - 付尧作品 - 卢浮宫
What a wild 20 years it has been on this performance art journey. To look back and forward at the same time, I intuitively titled my almost quarter-of-a-century body of work, 'Retrospective My Ass’!
Officially part of the program for Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin
@ripbm , I arrived in Paris with a butt plug in my mouth and a projector coming out of my ass, screening 20 years of my performance art, to give the curators more than they bargained for…
With a French baguette fresh from the Parisian farmers market, hanging in between my crotch, I rang my eagle winged bell... Perhaps the butt plug and the French baguette could hold up the whole Louvre.
Big THANKS to my brilliant FU Entourage for making this happen:
@yves_gore , Darius Dali,
@laurent.dubois ,
@pegasus_skyline ,
@lechipr ,
@vvasalia ,
@banhmi.media , Paul Alhäuser, Fritzi Düren, Virginie Nguyen and everyone up there who is looking after us. Thank you all!
Without each and everyone of you, this project wouldn’t have happen with so much fun and love every step of the way. Special thanks to my lover, Yves Gore, who engineered my costume weeks in advance, and put the world-class team together. Making art is a tough journey both mentally, physically and logistically. Those sleepless restless soul-separating problem-solving nights, not to mention hours and hours of painstaking endurance and creative actions… and WE DID IT! It's fucking AMAZING! I LOVE YOU ALL!
