Art show 'Exegesis' - Cancelled

Origianlly this show was to happen in May. Actually the planning started earlier in december when i  signed up for a residency. The outfit was in Brooklyn. It took the form of Zoom calls, sometimes very late at night. In fact early morning most often.

But the residency fell apart. I pulled the plug when the convenor said, "In any case you have to eat chist." You're going to eat shit anyway.

It was the last straw. I told the organisers I wanted to brainstorm the May show during the residency, I got about five usable pieces of information.

Apart from the exhortation to "eat shit".

I wondered if they would like it if they were told to eat shit. I still wonder. It's strange. Like what kind of art consirtium uses this sort of language. Uncool.

Maybe that was the point. Ok so I missed the point. I didn't find out about this point until the residency was almost over, there were like two or three weeks left to run. I did get a partial refund but basically lost thousands of dollars. The fees calculated in US dollars.

Above one of the items to go in the show.

Maybe the problem that in the image I look like I am not very happy. Yeh sure and yes I wasn't happy it was after mum died and I was still mourning. But why ask this guy to eat shit, it's beyond me. Then again this is the sort of stuff guys cop all the time. You just have to put up with the annoyance, the irritation, the discomfort. 

Part of the package.

No shit eating grin in the image. Just a resting dad face. I worked out the other day why fathers tell dad jokes. It's like when you ping a server. But it works the other way round. Dad just sends out a signal from time to time randomly, "Yes I'm still alive and I'm fine not angry." So the rest of the family can enjoy themselves. This is basically a father's job.

Maybe taht's eating shit. Tell me I don't know.
