ALL WHITE PEOPLE LOOK THE SAME TO ME: Notes on the National Pornographic

Here we go with #1:

Latrice Morhafuckin Royale

I couldn't possibly encapsulate the greatness of this queen, so two lovely gifs (found on this blog dedicated to her glory) will do:

Livin in the sunlight lovin in the moonlight havin a wonderful time

So wonderful to find these things. There's even a blog dedicated to his videos

NIX NIX NIX NIX, Friday 24.2.12 @100GRAD

A little shtick we're doing with another Berliner jew, on this weekend's "100 degree" festival. Featuring some song, dance, death, Wittgenstein and something white.

People vs. Art

I love it when art causes "Violent and disgusting outburst[s] of emotion"

Maybe she was playing too much of this game:

Also it made me think about this lovely series of painting by Israeli artist Zoya Cherkassky:

And this action carried out by Gadi Sprukt and Jack Faber, with Tel Aviv museum's hysterical response

Egyptism

Egypt was always at the center of attention and an object of fascination for cultural orientalists. I'm sure there are many historical, mythological and imaginary reasons for that special occidental love, and I would leave it to the theoreticians to explain. I'm as usual fascinated with the fascination and the way it evolved into pop culture. So here are two amusing/disturbing 20th century performative moments that materialize this perversion:

Wilson Keppel and Betty doing their popular Sand Dance routine (c. 1933): And the gorgeous Kate Bush making her properly insane and absolutely not PC contribution to the discourse (1979):

CHIKOS is finally online

Here is Chikos, a show I made with Maya in 2009. (more info about it here) After some technological struggles I finally managed to put the whole thing on Youtube without chopping it. Bonapetit.

Sometimes I like to go mainstream

So I got my visa today but apparently the Jewish god isn't really happy about it and she decided I should pay for my hitbolelut, so here I am in bed with a high fever. Luckily, family guy has a 10th season and Yoni "saba" Silver sent me this. Yes it has like 20 million views but it's still a cool addition to the blog.

A beautiful little moment

From AKA PS 2010 piece we called "FRIDAY", I just found this little moment and wanted to share it with the world. Efrat is quite dead here already after performing for four hours, and I love this kind of presence. It's exactly for this quality that I wanted to create such a long performance

Haifa Gymanstics, July 2011

I guess some nights are meant for blogging. I just found this video on YouTube, so I have to add one more post. It's us doing Samuel Beckett's piece "Quad" in Haifa Museum in Israel this July. The video, apparently uploaded by the museum, shows Amit Hadari, Osnat Kelner, Subi and myself performing 1/8 of the play, and then me desperately trying to talk to the audience, explaining the piece's structure and trying to get some volunteers to join and perform it with us. What I didn't really consider when I decided to do that, was the sound from numerous video and audio installations that were working all around the museum, as well as the museum visitors, who weren't really into listening to what I had to say... So at some point I just did what sometimes a man's gotta do: shut up and keep walking.

Leigh Bowery in d'Offay Gallery, 1988

This is one of Bowery's projects I didn't know before seeing this documentary about the gorgeous genius, made by his friend and collaborator Charles Atlas. He spent a week in the Anthony d'Offay gallery space, locked up behind a two-way mirror and dressed in some of his magnificant, iconic looks. The result is something like Marina Abramovic meets Grace Jones on the set of a Jodorowski film.
