i love talking about the installation! yesterday my friend, min came by to check it out and hang out. we go way back in chicago where we were roomates for a couple of years and part of a close group of friends, some from college and some from the art and music scene in chicago. i think she’s been in LA for a few years now. we grabbed lunch with phil and libby and caught up on things. a bunch of the crew was at the same vietnamese restaurant. i’m liking LA. but i REALLY love explaining the whole disembody concept and showing off all the cool things in progress. all kinds of exchanges and sights are being recorded, things i never noticed much doing projects in the past. just being aware of the camera makes me think about what it’s capturing. i always thought of making art as “living” but now that that part of it is the art, it’s hard to see it that way. it’s “bigger than life” even as mundane as it is. no, really, making art is mundane. but by doing something you feel like doing you end up challenging yourself both in technique and creativity. everybody here wants to talk ideas even while we solve specific problems. the confessional does the trick though as does this blog. basically we’re in a reality show of making art. i can’t wait to show angela. we talked on the phone tonight too and jonny turned the webcam on me. she’ll be here in 3 days. xoxo, angela.
