Marina Abramovic

Seriously... dinner at a cute little joint enjoying a beer and some good company when bam! I look up and spot Marina Abramovic! I recognized her stoic gaze and long braided hair instantly, I thought wow I saw you in New York. I smiled at the thought of her sitting in a large arena like museum space preforming and said hello/ goodbye on my way out. It was a good day.

and now it all makes sense, naivety makes for interesting revelations.

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out to another is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self
To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in return,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk to failure.
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.
Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.

if you say something long enough you'll actually start to believe it. Thinking and thinking and thinking... getting back to the idea of self talk...mental conditioning. Ten minute toughness. What does it mean when you have to convince yourself to feel or to not feel.

emotional?...ramble

What does it mean to be called an emotional person? Does it mean that you express yourself in a negative way? Why does being called emotional feel like a bad thing? Isn't the term "emotional" just relative to a social and cultural construct of acceptable behavior... and why does it have to be. What I've thinking about lately is emotional intensity in both women and men and how that energy can be a sort of positive release (whether melodramatic or not). I'll be looking for works, images, articles etc... feel free to drop a link if anything comes to mind. Here's a little Ryan Trecartin emotional hysteria for you....

Torrance Faces

Just a few faces from the Torrance project I put aside for sound...

"Lost, yesterday, somewhere between Sunrise and Sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever."
