International Art Fair

I went to the International Art Fair at the Polish Falcons Nest Hall This Weekend, and it was really exciting overall, I like that bar, and I'd hang out there more if there wern't so many watering holes right in my neighbroood. The highlights were the Green Gallery thing where you stood on this pedastal and put your head up through a hole and it's like you'r head is in a little art gallery, complete with a disticktuve smell. It's like if they made one of those car air fresheners that was called "gallery smell."

Then there was John Gavin's Enterprise, from New York I suppose, I guess named after the Actor John Gavin who was in competitin to play KIRK on Star Trek but lost out to Shatner, and then went on to be in the suckass TV shot Convoy. It's fun to imagine a world with John Gavin as Kirk! Well, this gallery consisted of three hipster guys sitting around looking bored eating buritos while one of them made noodly wanky noises with guitar effcets boxes and an amp.

Okay, there was way to much stuff to talk aboutit all, I should include pictures, but this blogger picture thing isn't working today. What do you want for free? At least the spellcheck is working! (Someone suggested, not very kindly, that I use spellcheck). Was there raw meat hanging from a hook, or was I jsut imaging that? I mean, my memory of the whole thing is kind of confused now. A lot of it was good, but then there was the art that looked like it took someone about four mintues to pull off. With cheap materials, no less.

It kind of reminmded me of the stuff I did in college, at Madison, when I lived in Sellery Hall. I would get pizzas from Pizza Extreme pretty regularly and then I'd cut off the box lid and just hang them on the wall, in whatever wilted, stained, fucked up condition they were in. I called it art, and it was cool becuase it even made some people, the dumb ones, mad. Most people just kind of ignored me, though. I wish they were all at this art fair, so I could point out some ratty old poster with chewing gum stuck on it, and then explain that this stuff sells in New York for like 65 thoussand dollars! I don't knowm, they probably still wouldn't give me no respect.
