BOOK FROM BROOKLYN'S MOMA PS10 GALLERY.

WHEN I WAS IN NY I WENT TO MOMA'S PS10 GALLERY IN BROOKLYN.

LARA FAVERETTO HAD A SHOW GOING ON, AND AS YOU WALK INTO PS10, THE WALL BY THE CLOAKROOM HAS BEEN CONVERTED INTO A FLOOR-TO-CEILING BOOKCASE. THERE ARE 2,200 BOOKS DONATED FROM NON-PROFITS IN NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, AND PENNSYLVANIA, BECAUSE THEY WERE NO LONGER USEFUL TO THE INSTITUTIONS AND IN A WAY, ON THE LAST LEG OF THEIR LIVES. BUT THEY COME INTO THEIR OWN AS A PART OF FAVERETTO'S WORK. THE BOOKS WERE REALLY DIFFERENT IN TITLE, SUBJECT, AND PUBLICATION DATE- THERE WAS EVERYTHING FROM COOKERY MANUALS TO ASTROLOGY. EVERYONE WAS INVITED TO TAKE A TITLE OF THEIR CHOOSING, AND FAVARETTO INCLUDED ONE IMAGE FROM HER ARCHIVE IN EACH BOOK. IT WAS LIKE THE BOOKS WERE SMALL SHRINES OR TOMBS CONTAINING FAVARETTO'S IMAGES.

THIS IS THE BOOK I SNAPPED UP- CORNELIA VANDERBILT WHITNEY'S DOLLHOUSE BY MARYLOU WHITNEY.

ITS FULL OF PHOTOS OF THIS WOMAN'S AMAZING DOLLHOUSE- IT LOOKS SO REAL IT'S EERIE.

The book was given as a present for Christmas by the author- i find that quite thrilling (i am such a loser)

THIS WAS THE IMAGE FROM FAVERETTO'S ARCHIVE THAT WAS SLIPPED IN BETWEEN THE PAGES OF THE BOOK....

GREAT BLOG/WEBSITE: 6/6.

THIS IS GREAT. I NOW SPEND MOST OF MY TIME TRYING TO IMAGINE HOW MOST OF THE STUFF IN MY EYELINE MIGHT END UP AFTER BEING MICROWAVED.

'TIME-SPACE' BY SBTD.

THIS IS A BOOK FULL OF DESIGN FOR PERFORMANCE BETWEEN 1995-1999. I FOUND THIS IN A BOOK EXCHANGE WHEN I WAS THINKING ABOUT STUDYING SET DESIGN  AT SCHOOL. I WENT TO DO SOME SET WORK FOR ES DEVLIN AND I STILL THINK BEING ABLE TO CHANGE AN ENVIRONMENT INTO ONE THAT TELLS A STORY IS AMAZING.

THIS IS SOME OF ES DEVLIN'S WORK- LOOK HER UP IT'S WORTH IT, PROMISE.

10 THINGS ABOUT ME.

1. I CAN PASS MY WHOLE BODY THROUGH MY ARMS USING A BROOM HANDLE. ITS MUCH HARDER THEN IT LOOKS, TRUST.

2. I USED TO HAVE A MULLET.

WHAT WAS I THINKING.

3. I GOT MY EYEBROWS DYED THIS SUMMER AND I CAME OUT LOOKING LIKE GROUCHO MARX.

4. MY DADS IN A CASH MY GOLD ADVERT WITH DALE WINTON. FO' REAL.

MY DAD'S THE FIRST EVALUATOR IN THE GREEN SUIT WITH THE RED TIE. WHAT A DORKUS MALLORCUS.

5. I HATE PRAWNCRACKERS MORE THAN ANYTHING. JUST POSTING THIS PHOTO MAKES ME SICK.

THE STORY GOES THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY FOOD WE HAD WHEN I WENT TREKKING IN NEPAL.  NEVER SHALL ONE TOUCH MY LIPS AGAIN.

6. I TOLD A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT I WAS FROM NORWAY BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT GAVE ME AN EDGE. NOW I CANT TAKE IT BACK AND HAVE TO SLIP IN AND OUT OF AN ACCENT WITH CERTAIN PEOPLE.

7. I PICK OUT ALL THE ORANGE AND BLUE SWEETS- I HATE THEM TOO.

EURRGH.

EURRGH SOME MORE.

8. I HAVE A COOKING PROGRAMME OBSESSION.  ID RATHER WATCH ONE OF THESE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

MM...

MMM...

MMMM...

MMMMM...

MMMMMM. FOOD PORN.

9. I USED TO HATE PEOPLE WHO SAY "YOLO" (IT STANDS FOR "YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE" FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LIVE UNDER A ROCK) BUT I STARTED SAYING IT IRONICALLY AND NOW I CANT STOP.

10. I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN MECHANICS AND MACHINERY. SO MUCH SO THAT I WENT TO WORK FOR ARTICHOKE PRODUCTIONS, A COMPANY THAT WORKS ALONGSIDE LA MACHINE MAKING AMAZING MECHANICAL INSTALLATIONS. UNBELIEVABLE- I 'M GOING BACK TO FRANCE TO WORK WITH THEM AGAIN.

THE LADBROKE TERRACE COLLECTIVE.

THERE'S THIS HOUSE ON LADBROKE TERRACE THAT IS BEING SOLD AND GUTTED, SO THE OLD OWNERS DECIDED TO GET A GROUP OF PEOPLE TOGETHER TO CREATE AN ART SHOW IN THE HOUSE. ITS GREAT BECAUSE THEY ALL TAKE TURNS TO COOK FOR EACH OTHER AND THEN THEY HAVE TALKS AT THE END OF THE DAY IN THE GARDEN.

I WENT TODAY TO HAVE MY PHOTO TAKEN FOR A PIECE THAT MY FRIENDS ADWOA AND CHINGIS ARE DOING. THEYRE TAKING PHOTOS AND THEN PRINTING THEM ON ORIGAMI PAPER IN DIAMOND SHAPES AND THEN CREATING THIS HUGE DIAMOND SHAPE WOODEN STRUCTURE TO HANG THEM FROM. THERE WAS A LOT OF MEASURING AND PRINTING GOING ON.

 IM GOING TO GO IN TO TRY AND GET SOMETHING TOGETHER THIS WEEK TO SHOW AT THE COLLECTIVE BUT UNFORTUNATELY THIS BLOG WILL BE DUE IN SO I WILL BE UNABLE TO SHOW YOU- THAT SUCKS.

TRYING TO MEASURE THE DOOR FRAME WITHOUT A RULER...

CHINGIS IS A LAPTOP/PRINTER WHIZZ KID

POSSIBLE POSE FOR NEXT PHOTO IN THE SERIES....
