Property!
...We are being filmed by Elaine Summers, at the Whitney Museum of American Art, while performing Trisha Brown’s piece. We are professional dancers, walking on walls, for a purpose that was not of our own intent. Who’s property are we? Who’s art are we? Why am I doing this...
Turbulence!
...I almost fell off the wall and onto my shadow. I’m held in place like the speckled field of purple flowers and green grass that have held that wagon mound in place for centuries...
Tongue!
...My tongue is tangles to the roof of my mouth. Dry and dusted, it feels like the powder white wall thats grounded beneath my feet. In the Park, where my parents still live, they get down on Friday afternoon, hiking into Iran, and go out on relations....
Tangent!
...I glared at Sophie Tauber-Arp’s head for a total of two minutes the other day. I know that my actions were not logical, but what if logic is illogical? I’m walking on the wall...I’m walking on the wall, my hair is dangling to my side, and it feels nice. I hate when my brown, unavailing hair, as it scratches like a spoiled, unfed cat at my neck. Having it hang like a dead fish to my side almost makes up for this unbelievably painful harness...
Translucent!
...I’m passing by the artist and choreographer, Trisha Brown. She passes by Douglas Dunn, who is explaining to Carmen Beuchat that he has a, “feeling that their blankets, and whiskey were found Friday at the campsite”. I can't stand to listen to people's stories... Our shadows co-mingle, creating shades of grey i’ve never noticed before. They are as translucent as the General in the capital...
Tangled!
...What if I started to run eight months ago? Maybe I would run with Iran’s General in the regions capital and get tangles like a spider. Do spiders get tangles with each other? Could I tangle this dance if I started to run? I don't have the balls to try...
Melissa, Thank you for this very charming, committed DADA writing. I have made some revisions bellow. Please compare your draft with my revisions and let me know what you think.
ReplyDeleteAlso, as a homework assignment, please go to the UCI library and take out a book on the artist Jenny Holzer. You might like Jenny Holzer. Pick a text with good images and bring the book to class on August 25th. We will use this research for a writing assignment.
Thanks!
