The Stuff of Stuff: in hopes of perpetuating only those things which engender thought, wonder, and awareness.

So much has already been said about this and there will surely be more, so I’ll say only this: however you feel about performance art, this is so much more than that.

The Other Day at Portrait... 
This is absolutely the coolest exhibition / performance ever. There is a female performance artist in Mexico who sets up a folding table and chair on busy streets – on the table is an old manual typewriter. She types letters for passersby – love letters, hello to family letters, rejection letters, anything they request. Thank you so much for this – how I wish I was in New York to sit in that chair across from Marina.
