The only one I know is this person I follow on TikTok

Unpacking and organizing my books and rediscovered one I love but dislike the cover art of (and it's an older, ex-library copy so it's got contact paper on the paperback cover that's sort of coming off in places). I'd really like to figure out how to rebind it, but... I do not have this skill or the tools. 😅

Anyone out there do this as a hobby or know of somewhere I can look for getting it done?

3 Random Thots on the Subway

1. “Seven Wonders”

“Seven Wonders” from the Musical Catch Me if You Can is such an amazing song. The melody is well written, it’s corny and cheesy, and paints such a beautiful picture. Especially towards the end of the song it turns into a duet, but maybe I will rewrite the words and turn it into a solo. 

2. Cute Guy

There was a very VERY attractive man on the Subway. He got on the train at the same stop I did, but unfortunately got off at  my old stop for work. Had we gotten off at the same stop, I would have said something to him. I have this new found confidence, and I am embracing it. No more “what ifs?”

3. Owl Hat

There was the cutest little girl that sat next to me on the Subway. She was wearing an owl hat, so I told her I liked it. She talked on and on about anything and everything. I found out that the adorable owl hat was her sisters, and her sisters red binder doesn’t open when it’s closed.

NO TODO ES FRAGILIDAD - Video-performances de artistas mujeres

@ MOVEDIÇA _ Mostra de Performance Arte, Galpao Mungunzá, São Paulo, Brasil | Curator : Silvio De Gracia

Francesca Fini (Italy) Elen Gruber (Brasil) Janaina Carrer (Brasil) Erika Mayoral (Mexico) Maria Jose Arjona (Colombia) Chun Hua Catherine Dong (Canada/China) Gilivanka Kedzior & Barbara Friedman - RED BIND (France)

About the program |

No todo es fragilidad [Not everything is fragile], introduces a serie of video-performances where women artists try to explore poetic dimension of the body and the female nature. Through the experimentation in different approaches to performance art, these videos reveal the psychological and physical energy of women, not excluding the beauty, breaking the old conventional image of female as a fragile being. Most of the videos show a female body incarnated in intense and obsessive actions, including hard efforts, allegories of resistance against the absurd or confrontations with the physical and social limitations.

About VIDEOPLAY |

Videoplay is an Argentine-based international platform specialized in the collection and diffusion of video-performance. Founded in 2004 by the visual artist and curator Silvio De Gracia, Videoplay has been gradually established as one of the most active and interesting platform dedicated exclusively to video-performance, developing an intensive activity of collaborations and exchanges with several international galleries, museums, festivals, private foundations and public institutions around the world.

Commissariat | William GOURDIN & Karine MATHIEU

En refusant toutes formes de catégorisation des genres qu’ils soient artistiques ou identitaires, l’exposition « I am what I am » envisage la notion de Queer comme un espace de formes à voir, à lire, à écouter et à expérimenter. Les commissaires d’expositions Karine Mathieu et William Gourdin, proscrivent ici toute tournure de catégorisation, d’identification pour tendre vers des intervalles, des territoires et des marges qui font des œuvres présentées le sillon du plaisir de l’exploration de nos mondes.

Mercredi 18 Janvier de 17h à 21h | TABLE RONDE avec les commissaires et des artistes de l’exposition sur la question du genre suivie d’un atelier de Cabinet de curiosité féminine, animé par Capucine Moreau.

PEACE ON PAPER 2nd Iran Contemporary Art Biennale,

Isfahan Contemporary Art Museum, Isfahan, Iran

| Curator : Majid Abbasi Farahani

| Co-Curator : Shadi Noyan

Perhaps there can be few people who haven’t wished to maintain the peace and stability in their life. If it’s correct so what’s the exact source of tension, conflict and devastation among the different human communities ? In order to answer this question, we must go to the different aspects of human life in different societies. Certainly strife and wars in human history have been happening for basic needs. But there is a question ! Is war the only way to answer our basic needs or there are other ways to solve our problems in contact with natural resources, the wealth or opinions that provide the context of conflict. To answer this question, we must search between different societies and different entities to understand what create a culture of human society. "Peace on a paper" is outlining the history of a civilization metaphor of human effort, in order to further convergence peace and security on all those conventions, treaties and agreements. "Biennial of Contemporary Art" come together 200 works by 150 artists, in collaboration with domestic, foreign galleries and cultural institutions, the 3 December in the Contemporary Art Museum Isfahan will be opened. @icaBiennale | www.icabiennale.org Supported by : Tehran contemporary art museum I Abadan contemporary art museum | Contemporary arts Museum Isfahan | Assar Art Gallery | Atbin Art Gallery | Apadana Art Gallery | 1x1 Gallery | Dastan Basment Art Gallery | Jam Art Gallery | Jorjani Art Gallery | Kornfeld Gallery | Mark Hachem Gallery | Maah Art Gallery | Seyhoun Art Gallery | Sayeh Art Gallery | Saless Gallery | Vista Art Gallery | Ezdar Project | Video Artist I Azad art gallery I Studio HeH I Pelle Mag.

[ THE SAD WALK ] Wandering performance | 2014

English "This cast-off skin is totally different from that other skin that our body has lost. They are divided in two. One skin is that of the body approved by society. The other skin is that which has lost its identity." | 暗黒舞踏, - Hijikata Tatsumi In this context that keeps us at a distance from one another, which persists in desuniting us and drastically cuts off our clear-sightedness, we still have the gesture, and maybe the number. Without your voice and light to accompany our steps and light the way, we shall go nowhere. On Friday April 11th, blinded and shackled, we’ll silently move forward all together, at any cost.

Français « Cette peau laissée pour compte est totalement différente de cette autre peau que notre corps a perdue. Elles sont divisées en deux : l’une est celle du corps approuvé par la société, l’autre est celle qui a perdu son identité. » | Tatsumi Hijikata Dans ce contexte qui nous maintient à distance les uns des autres, qui s’acharne à nous désunir et ampute notre clairvoyance, il nous reste le geste, et peut-être le nombre. Sans votre voix et votre lumière pour accompagner nos pas et éclairer la route, nous n’irons nulle part.  Le Vendredi 11 Avril, aveuglées et entravées, nous avancerons ensemble en silence, coûte que coûte.  15th Festival Cinémarges | April 11th, 2014 |  from Cinéma Utopia to Espace 29, Bordeaux, France  http://www.cinemarges.net/

(...) M. sensed an opportunity and, because he knows me better sometimes even than I know myself, he didn’t let it get away. He niggled and persuaded, “Come on, this was custom-made for you… you need to do it,” until I gave in and stepped out from the audience, positioning myself to dance with one of the faceless women. I could not help but notice the similarity of his persistence in eroding my resistance – tension against tension in our coupling of opposing forces, because I felt that I did not need to dive in personally in order to understand what I saw, and he insisted that at least one of us should – was not unlike the taut red cord that choked both dancers in a tug of war of equals by the neck.

Despite the festive atmosphere, the woman I clasped hands with was stiff and unalive. I had not expected that. She did not speak at all, and though we were in an intimate pose, I did not feel I could speak to her. We swayed not like dancers but like zombies, like cadavers. She was performing, making a point. It was not a dance foremost, but a symbol. I found the train of her skirt entwining my legs as we turned slowly in one direction, the red sash that connected her to her “sister” twin across the dancefloor also wound around my neck and that of the other new partner.

But were we partners? Or their victims. Or their beards. Or even their pupils. If I had not danced with her myself, I would not have grasped half as much of the symbolism. This was participatory art. To observe it was not enough. You had to engage personally to understand it best.

Two faceless women bound by a cord summoned strangers out of the audience to dance through a song, but never broke their connection to each other, nor revealed their true identities to their partners, not even to each other.

I barely got to experience this, as I was the last one to dance with one of them before the music stopped and they took a final bow. I would not trade that memory for the comfortable security of never having stepped out.

I am very glad that M. knows me so well. (…)
