Eureka!

I've got a dissertation title:

"Moscow Conceptualism: Crazy Free-for-All, 1976-1995." Enh? Ennnnh???

And some other notes for the short of attention span:

1) VDNKh: I don't have to tell you twice.



Well, maybe just a little:


Also, don't you know it, people's friendship has officially been "outlived." Whew! Guess we don't have to worry about that anymore.

2) You'll get your point across better if you're naked. Witness:

Carolee Scheeman, Interior Scroll, 1975

Linda Benglis, ad in Artforum (Nov. 1974).

Wait, what was their point again? It also helps if you actually have something to say. Not sure this lady does. (But, twice in one slide-show...good work, ъ!)

Eloise Fornieles, performance at the opening of "Natural Wonders: New Art from London" at Baibakova Art Projects at Red October Candy Factory.

...natural wonders, indeed.

3) Woody Allen thinks he can get away with the same lame-ass shit he's always pulled but now with extra-perky tits. That's right, I said it. (I'm sure many others have, too.)

4) Andrei Kuz'kin inspires me with his pessimism. But he lets me touch his art, so I don't mind.

Andrei Kuz'kin - the caption reads something like: "Please, save that baby! Save it, for god's sake! Perform a caesarean section, please!!!!"

There were other, better works of his at the ArtStrelka show, but like I said, you've got to be naked to get on in the internets, so all I could find was this naked baby.

More about the Kuz'kin show here. (In Russian.)

MasterGote for (Vice) President!

People! Can you please take a look at this map? Click on it, please, so you can see and hear the importance of what I am about to say to you. Your own MasterGote lives a mere hop, skip, and a swim away from one of the most important people in the world, a threat to the American people, and an eyesore to the Russian schoolchildren and tourists. I am talking about Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. His house is marked in Red on this here Map. I think you will agree with me that it is Better to Be Dead than Red, and your own MasterGote, living as he does at the point marked in Blue on the Map, is in a unique position to keep an eye on old Red Vlad. (And new Red Vlad, for that matter.) Please, people, do not listen to that silly Alaskan woman. She cannot see what I see from her boonies cabin all the way up there in Alahskah. She does not enter the Moscow River on a brisk October day at the point marked in Yellow for her Inaugural Swim. MasterGote does, and he is ready to serve. MasterGote for (Vice) President! Inaugural Swim!
