i was going to post that anyway when i remembered that one of the guys who tried to buy us drinks the other night was a rather embarrassed magician. naturally, aliza requested some tricks. i have exactly zero interest in games, so when he tried to have me tell him what card i had pulled out of the pile or pack or whatever i had to ask aliza, which is getting to be part of a larger life pattern that includes my regularly deferring to her description of my academic project and all stories related to my incarceration and breakup when we are talking to other people. intimacy is letting other people tell my stories for me—asking other people to tell my stories for me—even when i am standing there, like IRL reblog. anyway, now i know which card “clubs” is, which i always sort of vaguely wondered, but not enough to find out. the brief literality of our life conjuring was so encouraging.
hannah wilke, laundry lint, (c.o.’s), 1971-73
this is the one i’ve been thinking about the most over the last many months. i love the title’s parenthetical and that the title’s parenthetical is a parenthetical and the number of years spent on this particular performance.
in my ongoing series of irrelevant one-woman protests, i have long (long, long) refused to even glance at a claes oldenburg, because whatever privacy concerns, fuck that guy. i’ll look at his beautiful sculpted laundry lint, though.
my other two favorite wilkes are here and here. her conflation of feminist and romantic despair always tugs deeply at my heartstrings.
