Hallo I'm an italian curator of contemporary art and I'm writing a text about the Tino Sehgal's performance. I imagine that you know that he don't make photos, videos or text about his work, the idea is: you can see the event at the moment..that's all!! My text is about the Sehgal's auto censure, he censure every possibility to have a trace or a "document" that can remember his work after the performance. I think this is a very interesting and very contemporary work. So, when I searched in google images Tino Sehgal to "control" the true possibility to censure the images and the videos of Sehgal's work I found some your drowning. I think that your work is especially very interesting in relationship with the Sehgal's performances. I don't know what you think about but I should like to propose at Tino Sehgal the possibility to publish your images in my article about his work. I forgot to say you that I'm the director of the on line magazine roots&routes (www.roots-routes.org). Thank you and best regards Viviana gravano
I am trying to draw every person in New York. I will be drawing people everyday and posting as frequently as I can. It is possible that I will draw you without you knowing it. I draw in Subway stations and museums and restaurants and on street corners. I try not to be in the way when I am drawing or be too noticeable. Whenever I have a new batch of drawings I will post them on this blog. If you would like to increase the chances of a portrait of YOU appearing on this blog please email me (art@jasonpolan.com) a street corner or other public place that you will be standing at for a duration of two minutes (I will be on the corner of 14th street and 8th avenue on the North-east corner of the street from 2:42-2:44pm this Thursday wearing a bright yellow jacket and navy rubber boots, for example). Please give me more than a 24 hour warning and please make it a scenario that is not too difficult for you to accomplish (the corner outside of the store you work at during lunch time, or in front of a museum you were going to go to on a Saturday) because I may unfortunately miss you and do not want you to have to invest more than 2 minutes of your time in case I cannot make it. You may or may not see me drawing you during this time. If I do draw you, you will see yourself (or rather, a drawing that hopefully somewhat resembles you) on this blog that evening.
When the project is completed we will all have a get together.
