Sorry, it's not really levitation. If you look closely, you'll see there's a string holding the person up.

Love the photo. Thx EVG + DB Photog. Total levitation.
ReplyDeletewho-eee! that is an amazing trailer for the Peter Hujar show. Incredible photos. I didn't know his work but now I must see that exhibit!
ReplyDeleteTY, EVG!
How does a not for profit with 500k in revenues by a 9 mil condo? Particularly in a lux housing building constructed by the same RE types running amok in our community. Why not buy a building in the hood and preserve it from being demolished instead of engaging in the largest commercial condo transaction downtown.
ReplyDeleteSo let me get this straight, a not for profit 500k in revenues gets you the most expensive commercial condo in town, in a lux housing development no less? You gotta love the irony here.

ReplyDeleteI can think of three artists that are rolling over. Kathy Acker. Jack Smith. and Allen Ginsberg.
ReplyDeleteIt's a funny thing how you are for fashion. Not us though. Our fashion businesses are in jeopardy of losing their stores because of landlords.
ReplyDeleteIt funny how we all want chains and how brokers lease chains. It's funny how rent stabilized shut-ins are being bought out and how they may never see that kind of money again in their lifetime unless they win lotto. It's funny how brokers lease spaces to bad landlords and developers as pop-ups for luxury buildings. It's funny how art can change things. It's funny how Manson might be holding people hostage in a building and how narcissists would overlook it if there were a music or art opening in the commercial space. It's funny how idiots support hateful people and mock the idea that our gardens are being infiltrated. It's funny how people say down with the patriarch yet they are into s&m. It's funny how anarchists have fallen into awards traps. It's funny how people are submissive to power. It's funny how art as power goes against all kinds of survivors.............It's funny..........

I think that Allen Ginsberg would be siding with tenants who are being harassed and fighting for affordable housing, not on the side of landlords and developers. The fact that his name and legacy have been hooked to these people, and continues to be, is perverted. I think Howl Arts should change their name to something more aligned with the times, like-rubber room realty.
ReplyDeleteYou know, it's one thing to say I'm not anti-gentrification, but it's another thing to actively thwart people's progress and dismiss the atrocities that are taking place. The SLA community board meetings are open to all, and persons can voice their opinions, but to not attend and show face, and go straight to the SLA to overturn what residents have worked hard to achieve is immoral.
