So, I’m performing in this REALLY AWESOME performance art/dance piece this weekend at Dance Theatre Workshop in Chelsea. Although the rehearsal process was somewhat nightmarish , I have to admit, the final product is a stunning collaboration of visual and movement elements, that is really quite haunting. I’m only in the corps de ballet, if you will, although its really NOT a ballet at all, so when I say its awesome, ITS NOT JUST BECAUSE IM IN IT!
Heres the info:

OH how I wish I wish I could see this exhibit! If you are in LA right now, do it! Yoshitomo Nara is probably my favorite contemporary artist right now- his drawings and paintings are so simple, but so honest, and the Blum & Poe Gallery looks cool too.
I’m back from Hiatus, and look what I found:
Thanks to Avery and Ilana who found this on Kanye West’s new blog. And thanks to England for Cadbury chocolate and staying hilarious.
Without further ado, here is my first tip for the weary and wanderlusting:
The Murakami Exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum.
I couldn’t afford to go to Japan this spring, but I could afford the Brooklyn Museum’s student price of 8 dolla to see the 2 floor exhibit. Despite the obnoxious comments by Brooklyn’s bitchiest art snobs -one woman, while looking at statues of anime women with huge boobs, wings, and guns, responded to my friend’s “that’s awesome” with “Some people say the stupidest SHIT!”- it still managed to be a stint in a magical world. Murakami is one of the most influential Asian artists today, and it’s easy to see why. With a Louis Vuitton store in a hallway bridging two of the main exhibit rooms, Murakami fuses art, fashion, commercialism, and the Japanese psyche, all the while making you giggle with pleasure at each of his “superflat” characters. I’m dying to get to Japan, but until the dollar gets stronger that’s not really likely to happen any time soon. Meanwhile, I was happy to escape to Murakami’s Tokyooklyn for the day, and complete the experience by crawling into bed with “Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World” a book by my favorite author of the same name, Haruki Murakami, for some whimsical mind bending reading to compliment my day.
Speaking of European radio stations, (see Mad About Soccer) my new favorite is Germany’s FM4 where I discovered this catchy song by Danish duo Trolle Siebenhaar. She’s adorable and got a voice like honey, and he’s a (little bit) less awkward version of Moby, cool! Plus, this video makes me smile every time I watch!
