Hi Thing:

If you are free this tuesday and are in New York we recommend stopping by Rodney's first solo exhibition with Gasser & Grunert Gallery in Chelsea. Love at it's Best a multi-media installation, is a culmination of many years work and research. Those of you may know his work through his performance installation The Queen Bee Snake Bar and his more recent Queen Bee War Remnants Museum that premiered as a featured special project at Art|Basel Miami Beach. His work is very strong and engages in an honest and informed social dialogue about War that you dont get to see everyday, especially in Chelsea.

This exhibition is sure to inspire others to become more socio-politically concerned and to make more art with meaning in these days of an overly commercialized artworld and big brothers clones knocking at our doors. Show is up through February 9th.

Love at It's Best is an analysis of warfare, sexual exploitation and genocide, which aims to shed light on the plight of the civilians whose lives have been tainted by these brutal realities.

The first bad sign is at the intake center on 30th Street in Manhattan. It's in the old Psychiatric wing of Bellevue Hospital. Shades of Edie Sedgwick haunt the place! Time for my screen test Mr. Warhol?

Here are a couple photos from Saturday nights Artists Meeting performance installation at the Art Under the Bridge Festival in Dumbo.

I thought I would forward this along from an email discussion that Max Herman of Genius 2000 posted to Rhizome today about Networkism in advance of The Genius 2000 Conference 2007: Gerard Groote and Devotio Moderna. http://www.geocities.com/genius-2000/

I don't necessarily agree with him but do very much like the idea of the discussion.

If we were to have no choice but to define this current art historical era in a single term, what would it be?
