Good morning folks - for some reason this thing is writing from the center outward...hmmmn...

...anyway just one more thing before we head back to Glasgow. The nice fellers at Helper Projects asked me to re-visit the Asparagus Piss Raindrop piece we did at their space in 2012 called Breakfast Bombs the Inevitable. So on Friday at 6 - 8pm we will do something that approaches a facsimile protrusion with extra dimensions as part of their residency in the dungeon of Glasser & Grunert Gallery.

The original version had a simultaneous performance running in Glasgow at the CCA - this time we will teleport at least one member to tap dance in George Square.

On Friday the group includes Paige Martin, Nathan Gwynne, Reuben Lorch-Miller, Zerek Kempf, Nickolaus Typaldos, Sam Stewart and me.

oh and by the way, i did an interview with Marissa Perel a coupla years ago that we added to and reworked a bit together - check it here:

BEST OF BEST OF BEST OF
Video. Group. Screening. Show.
October 6, 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM @ helper

BEST OF BEST OF BEST OF was founded in Berlin in 2011 by the Artists Patrick Alt and Marco Schmitt.
BEST OF BEST OF BEST OF is a video compilation that is expanding from show to show, from city to city wherever it is screened.
There is no focus on a specific issue. There are no limits.
Each screening presents videos from different contexts and creates a composition. All videos become a unity.
There are good and bad videos, but we are showing the BEST OF BEST OF BEST OF.
BEST OF BEST OF BEST OF wants to connect artists and viewers all over the world.
Best videos for best compostion for best presentation for best audience.

After Berlin, Stuttgart, Rome and Mexico-City: now in Brooklyn, New York.
