I haven't gotten up to MOMA to see the Marina Abramovic show yet, but I have been getting a laugh out of the "6 o'clock news" portrayal of whats going on up there. Watch the video below for their take on it. "There's naked chicks at MOMA dude!" . Anyhow, I'm a little bummed that the original piece that Abramovic performed with her partner Ulay has been re-enacted with two female performers. I always thought one of the most interesting things about that piece was that visitors had the choice of figuring out if they would rather face a naked man or a naked woman while squeezing through the door frame.
Update: I went and saw the show and there actually was a guy and a girl performer in the door ... so maybe it was just that one day that it was a girl and girl thing. Anyhow, its pretty impossible to get through the doorway without touching penis. But of course a good time was had by all. Check out the show!
Unconscious and Irrational is named for the media's common presentation of girls and women as being either "out of control" or simply "passed out". In movies there aren't many female roles that won't show the girl either passing out, being knocked unconscious, or going totally crazy (usually with a car, credit car, or depressed dude).
On this blog I want to show the zillions of other things we do - whether it be music, art, comedy, or politics. I aim to provide you with a variety of gals to look up to- from Romy and Michele to Shirley Chisholm and Bella Abzug.
