wdrefugeesSome excerpts from our offshoot ConcepTwitter, operating under the pseudonym/”art world character” Paúl de Soto:
The Soul at Work
- “I’m with my body, not in it,” (2010) 21-day hypergraphic documentation (text and photo) of what I ingest, exercise routines, emotions, etc.
- “Desire,” (In Progress) tearing through a number of neo-Expressionist canvas works–the word “desire” superimposed on each–with a machete.
- “Running out of energy,” (2010) 14-day performance, scrawling, “there is something but it is not the same anymore,” repeatedly on furniture.
- “After On Kawara,” (Ongoing) daily postcard correspondence between LA and Miami, “I fell asleep at __:__ last night.”
- “Any Number of Things at Once, all Contradictory,” (2010) labanotated dance performed in the background of an 18-person dinner party onstage
- “I Forgot to Tell You,” (2010 – ) Conceptual project: move to Topeka, Kansas, marry a grocery clerk, have a baby, be an admin. assistant.
- “What to eat, How to get it,” (2010) video installation of a small blond girl sitting on her couch, cross-legged, thinking about what to eat
- “Cosmeticize my Mind,” (2010) archival film of ECT patients from 1960s-now projected on four walls, physically altered to visually degrade.
We are in the process of putting together a catalog, or manual, of 22 of these projects. Stay tuned!
