Tony Oursler: screening + conversation
February 08, 2012. Electronic Arts Intermix 535 West 22nd Street, 5th floor
New York, NY
A slatter of flesh with eyes and a mouth saying, "I love you," in an unsettling tone; a pretzel complaining in like a nagging girlfriend; a room full of columns projected onto to like like burning cigarettes; what I'm trying to say is that you're lucky that Tony Oursler is within your grasp.

Huehuetlatolli will emerge from the delightfully-detailed Canyon Candy installation after a thoughtful introduction by the esteemed John Morrow.

Just Working On My Novel: Just Working On My Breakup w/ Jean Grae
February 10, 2012. WORD 126 Franklin St, Brooklyn, NY
How does this make any sense? Jean Grae, who is completely wild, is hosting a dorky, short story open mic reading "about breakups" in Greenpoint on a Friday early-evening. And also, who was smart enough to think of this?
