It was beautiful to see how everyone that attended to protest their rights showed up wearing beach clothing with big umbrellas, playing volleyball and, something very traditional of people in Dominican Republic when going to the beach, food for the whole family (spagetthis, bread, rice, yuca, plantains).

Not quiteHello. Last I wrote, I was headed to bed. I just woke up today, kinda. Vertigo, people! I had vertigo caused by small crystals in the labyrinth of my inner ear moving out of place. So weird!!<br /><br />But, it means that the last six days of my performance, I was bed ridden. A friend came up to visit and he walked me around the block like an old dog one afternoon. That's when I left this postcard (forever dedicated, I know. i think i was still in denial at this point) at the corner on our way to the park. We went and sat by the river and I almost scratched my ear with my right pinky toe, but decided against it.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr28wxYcsGX1ZJSq2Z-vrMGraKJPOvGLO20hHZsuaIBJJT7afEB0sPPe1aY6Dbwj0Njae_uzRKm_oz1jA1bywsInnrobSkQiVz2woW7N7ZqqWlLIsGqdz26hSZ3dzdGIG-55zZxNBonPlm/s1600/posycard1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr28wxYcsGX1ZJSq2Z-vrMGraKJPOvGLO20hHZsuaIBJJT7afEB0sPPe1aY6Dbwj0Njae_uzRKm_oz1jA1bywsInnrobSkQiVz2woW7N7ZqqWlLIsGqdz26hSZ3dzdGIG-55zZxNBonPlm/s320/posycard1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657799097021002818" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixSHrkiqrzuFsr0gKvP1X9qRj09tmLThLJ9g83DSQJjY5e9Lcg-uFN0Jm0T20SPnm_9hrGt7WGt18xQ7oD9JpS7JQVD3ksbBpX8DhBlQisQvOMWj1vE1GxgyrHpT5d3RjM6n01iYfVCFHb/s1600/posycard2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixSHrkiqrzuFsr0gKvP1X9qRj09tmLThLJ9g83DSQJjY5e9Lcg-uFN0Jm0T20SPnm_9hrGt7WGt18xQ7oD9JpS7JQVD3ksbBpX8DhBlQisQvOMWj1vE1GxgyrHpT5d3RjM6n01iYfVCFHb/s320/posycard2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657799103274581282" border="0" /> </a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">My friend thought the second placement was actually artistic, as opposed to simply located.</span><br /></div><br />And then, in those six days lost and gone to time, I received all these wonderful works of art from the artists...and only now, do I get to post them.

It's cause I have an ear infection and I'm walking like I didn't drink my V8. I think my photos' kinda crooked, too. There's a solid kinda geometry going on. Billy was cool; I told him it was Day 27.<br /><br />I've decided that my postcard planting plot is somewhat...how shall I say...failing? It's like adding a brushstroke of pink acrylic to a canvas that's mostly collage - maybe it will work, but maybe it really won't. This does not mean I have given up, however. I have re-stocked my trusty orange book bag and will carry on. How do I make up for the fallibility/failure? Do I incorporate it into the day by leaving several postcards in one day? Or do I simply extend the project's ending by leaving postcards after the 22nd? Or, do I simply keep the postcards and make something with them?<br /><br />I think I'll put up a poll and ask folks about what they think I should do. Failure is not an easy thing to reconcile, though in and of itself it is not the dead end we all think it is, either.<br /></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796553257734342943.post-44890804448712111132011-09-12T17:15:00.001-07:002011-09-12T17:15:44.478-07:00Mictlanxotchil<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/28944252?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400" height="265" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/28944252">if walls could speak.</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user8350987">angela mictlanxochitl</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796553257734342943.post-75465097250757767932011-09-12T16:45:00.000-07:002011-09-12T17:14:36.694-07:00Steven Sonny Stevie G.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRmeobJnnUf3QEYINcGHOnkXCshswDLC9C5YBLytVWti1OoixMsX5IsiM3R4oei31LWq2nearql5bP2N5RreweE7NVV13mCe5js7nV3xWanU3QlCy7b7Tf_-l_M6J13jdbq7mWKS3AOEwS/s1600/IMG_0036.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRmeobJnnUf3QEYINcGHOnkXCshswDLC9C5YBLytVWti1OoixMsX5IsiM3R4oei31LWq2nearql5bP2N5RreweE7NVV13mCe5js7nV3xWanU3QlCy7b7Tf_-l_M6J13jdbq7mWKS3AOEwS/s320/IMG_0036.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651630087877887538" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Because (for Ana)<br />Steven G.

I can't believe I didn't send these images earlier-- but I got your wonderful package in the mail and made some art (with a little help from Myala). I'm sending along the electronic stuff, but we made some physical stuff, too.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796553257734342943.post-60736801251770280022011-09-06T19:23:00.001-07:002011-09-07T15:49:50.847-07:00Day 20: Germaine<div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTSnkrP1K-apKyosRnONsLcOolLxsZvbjKZrvFcDBVaZ7q6-vtHEyC1U7r4eUCswEDmyb7TxQ3YCUlOCdOP5T6pjlDOwBocLPr6-xDhwDKivjjMkv-ckpsNOXVfftBZdVQWSYERnam2oIg/" /><br /></div><br />Germaine looks soooo happy.

No me sorprendio. Claramente necesitaba meditar en las multiples maneras en que cuantificamos nuestra vida cotidiana, nuestra fe en la ciencia, la manera en que entendemos el tiempo, la relacion entre el pasado, presente, futuro.<br /><br />Gracias por darme la oportunidad de producir algo fuera del medio academico, sin las herramientas a las que estoy acostumbrada.
