“This piece was primarily a trust exercise, in which she told viewers she would not move for six hours no matter what they did to her. She placed 72 objects one could use in pleasing or destructive ways, ranging from flowers and a feather boa to a knife and a loaded pistol, on a table near her and invited the viewers to use them on her however they wanted.
Initially, Abramović said, viewers were peaceful and timid, but it escalated to violence quickly. “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.”
This piece revealed something terrible about humanity, similar to what Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment or Stanley Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, both of which also proved how readily people will harm one another under unusual circumstances.”
This performance showed just how easy it is to dehumanize a person who doesn’t fight back, and is particularly powerful because it defies what we think we know about ourselves. I’m certain the no one reading this believes the people around him/her capable of doing such things to another human being, but this performance proves otherwise.”
this is why performance art is important
this makes my stomach churn

A couple of weeks ago, I was waiting for a crosswalk in my neighborhood when a guy walked out of a nearby bodega and greeted me with, “Hello, gorgeous.”
I kind of shifted my weight and pretended not to hear him, hoping that was the end of his schtick, but a couple seconds later he kept going….

I noticed quite a pattern of so many young girls dressing up as beautiful Disney Princesses, no matter where I looked 95% of the “ideas” were the “How to’s” of how to dress your little girl like a Disney Princess…We chose 5 women (five amazing and strong women), as it was her 5th birthday but there are thousands of unbelievable women (and girls) who have beat the odds and fought (and still fight) for their equal rights all over the world”

3 days agoMix tape swap is back on! @Ovom ; mallisatugboat / Mallory Ryan gosling and myself at least.
Aka tiu should get involved let’s make it much better than ever!
YES! This feels like youth again (except the year we did this was actually the worst year of my life but that was in no way due to our swap)
3 days agoI think an interesting thing about my ‘newfound freedom’ is that it tends to enliven the first ‘domestic’ signs in me, or the realization that I could use the help from them. I tend to pick partners who fill the space of all my shortcomings: good cooks, cleaners - people who spend their free time figuring out how to make their lives easier/better. Freedom not only highlights my realization (for the first two days I lived off ramen and frozen sweet potatoes), but makes me aware of the fact that it’s pretty much a disaster. I can’t tell you the last time I did laundry that wasn’t me throwing a few items your way to clean, and yeah maybe it wouldn’t hurt if I scrubbed some things from time to time, too.
Two-fold is this new blow to my finances, or what I assume may be a blow, but maybe just means “thinking” about my money instead of just living how I damn well please. That one makes me think about staying home and learning those recipes from the cookbooks I neglected after the excitement that lasted for all of .5 seconds. I know in the end this may be good, it may be a break from stress of sorts, and it may mean to move on, but the two years away from education for the first time in your life are actually the two years of largest learning. I’m not the girl I was at 22 (I wish I was, but I had to grow to accommodate the care of me).
I can’t decide if my ideas and morals changed due to just how good I was at taking care of myself financially, or if they were always there, waiting to present themselves. I simultaneously felt myself working into the ground, but had all those off-moments where I made those purchases that felt good: the ability to drop $1,000 to save my dog spur of the moment, that new bike (please someone ride it with me!), that camera I STILL keep forgetting to use for fear of resembling a tourist and every other thing under the sun that is crowding this room that I’ve neglected to pick up.
I think Matt is coming in a few days, and that will be good. While I often question his background (how he gets by with the ability to partake in literally everything he pleases), I realize that his company is very healthy for me. I do a lot of things I shouldn’t, but I am reminded that turning into an adult “blows.” Or rather, I’m reminded to have fun. He’ll drag me to all these things I wouldn’t normally attend, and while I might get myself in some trouble, that kid can pry me out as quickly as I entered.
So here’s to earning domesticity (can you earn that alone?), saving money and filling my freedom with all those things I meant to learn, say and do.

“ You know what Francis said to me when he proposed? I remember his exact words. He said, “Claire, if all you want is happiness, say no. I’m not going to give you a couple of kids and count the days to retirement. I promise you freedom from that. I promise you’ll never be bored.” You know, he was the only man—and there were a lot of others who proposed—but he was the only one who understood me. He didn’t put me on some pedestal. He knew that I didn’t want to be adored or coddled, so he took my hand and put a ring on it because he knew I’d say yes. He’s a man who knows how to take what he wants.
