A Bold Use Of Talc
We have of late been neglecting the arts, and that simply won’t do. By way of correction, here’s another chance to behold the feats of the Austrian choreographer and performance artist Ms Doris Uhlich, filmed earlier this year at Vienna’s Rabenhof Theatre. The video of Ms Uhlich’s performance – which, we’re assured, is a “vigorous and critical” work, a “bodily and textual discussion of flesh and opulence” – is presented below the fold. For reasons that may well become apparent.
Vivaldi was unavailable for comment.
where’s the audience? The first performance was critiqued and discussed in all the best places. This was the (highly anticipated) second performance.
The 2x speed was great. What is on her head?
Do you suppose the performance artist was aware that her hair is a parody of the Bride of Frankenstein? Consciously making those kinds of allusions is usually the artist’s job.
This stuff wasn’t even transgressive back in the ’80s, when I was in school. All of this is so dull, so non-creative, so out early without the layers and layers of meaning that the art-crit people want to pretend are there.
And how could this idiot have not used Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto? it’s a much better and clearer choice for musical accompaniment for this kind of miscreant behavior.

I can’t help but suspect that the weighty/well past their prime females in these alleged “arts” are manifestations of the same spectrum that also gives us the grossest of dudes who flock to gay “pride” and nudist events, and that they are all exhibiting a sort of inversion of aggressive mimicry behavior, in the same way that it is theorized that codependency is but a form of inverted narcissism.
I’d hate to be sitting front row center at the 3:15 mark.
What type of bush was she hiding behind?
How he manages to keep his sanity (or to project the image of such to us here) shall forever be a mystery.
Cthulhu just called. He says you’re freaking him out.
In the immortal words of teh intarwebz: “Not my proudest fap.”

A Bold Use Of Talc
Something else somewhere else—but being artistic—reminded me to go looking for A Bold Use Of Det.
I was reminded of and trying to find the artist(s) who would take a flat steel plate and sculpt with det cord, but I did find someone working with walls . . .
I remember the Bride of Frankenstein as being somewhat slimmer.
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
I suppose requesting that she clean up after herself would constitute emotional labor?
My mother came into the room as I was watching that, and now I have some awkward questions to answer. Also, thanks for ruining Vivaldi for me.

I’ll write you a note.

Heh. Credit note only, presumably.
