gagosian always comes through





Two chelsea gallery-hopping adventures ago I stumbled upon Yayoi Kusama’s “Aftermath of Obliteration of Eternity” at Gagosian. I’d seen pictures and been amazed but never thought I’d get to experience it. You enter that small structure, and the entire walls and ceiling are mirrored, and there’s a mirrored platform you stand on and you’re surrounded by an inch or so of water on the floor. These lights/candles are flickering, dimming on and off, and it’s all reflected everywhere just going out into infinity. It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

So summer's goin pretty damn well.
Splittin my time between the island and the city.
Internship is g-o-o-d, they're giving me real GD things to do.
Just been watching movies and having fun otherwise.

I just watched "GIA". So good.

I also really want to see this 1985 movie called "The Stuff" after seeing these screenshots. I have to hunt down a copy, preferably VHS...

So I've just been chillin since I've been home. Adjusting to Long Island life, seein friends, havin fun. Went to orientation for my internship yesterday, looks like it's gonna be a fun lil' job. I watched The Fly yesterday for the first time with Jackie and Riley. SO FUCKING GREAT. Too much Jeff Goldblum nudity and not enough Geena Davis side-boob.


Just finished reading Calvin Tomkin's "Lives of the Artists." It's just a compilation of pieces he wrote over the last decade about some contemporary artists. Most of my favorites actually (Hirst, Koons, Sherman, Barney, Currin, Cattelan, Johns, Turrel, etc.) They're all amazing short bios paired with one-on-one interviews, mostly at the artists' home and studio. He really gets to know them and, I feel, accurately portrays them. Pick this shit up, art kids.


And I leave you with some amazing texts from Texts From Last Night:

(631): Everytime she opens her mouth it's like a fucking terrorist attack on my life.


(239): I left my keys in the garlic bread freezer in Publix.


(832): New invention idea: vibrating tampons


(216): Where the fuck is Rob at, he hasnt answered his phone in like 2 weeks.

(440): Dude Rob died 2 weeks ago wtf?

(216): Holy shit r u serious? How?

(440): Just kidding, but im pretty sure he boned your gf and doesnt want to talk to you.


(434): ok i'm going to motor boat your sister now. ttyl


(916): ps i may or may not be wearing a sequined bra


(602): Duck Duck Cougar?


(440): It looked like if robin williams had a vagina

film love

24  film stills





















what's the frequency, terrence? [part II]

OK so on a total whim I e-mailed fucking TERRENCE KOH and just was a little fanboy sayin I loved his work and that I'll be around in the city this summer and basically asked if I could come by the studio and hang out and he fucking emailed me back in his adorable broken english:

okie dokie
why don;t you hit us when yo r backs incity again pleased
xT

I pretty much died. If I actually wind up going, I will definitely keep the world updated.
I hope he takes a picture of me and writes a daily poem. He posts pages like this daily. I'm so
glad I found a Madonna one, haha.

This is him, bee-tee-dubz:

And I posted some of his artwork here a while back.
