• Imaginary Friends – Television programs can fend off loneliness
  “New psychological research suggests that loneliness can be alleviated by simply turning on your favorite TV show.

Hello

So, there are two things in NY this week, in case you’re around, that
I would like to invite you to:

The first one is that I was asked to “perform at and put work in a
show that I curated” at Terence Koh’s wonderful gallery, Asia Song
Society. Kind of a funny thing, right, the put yourself in a show
thing? But they asked and I love Terence and Elizabeth Lovero who
directs the gallery and the gallery itself, so, you know, let’s do
this, right? The other two artists are two of my favorite favorite
artists that there are and neither of them have shown in NY really
before, so I am super super excited to be roping them into this, as
well. Bobbi Woods and Adam Marnie…. boom!! I will perform as a a
version of a new thing, as well and there is an afterparty at some
sort of “illegal Chinese karaoki” place, but I’ll let you know about
that once we get there.

And the second thing is a “traditional BARR show” with Silk Flowers
(RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and Love Tan at Sculpture Center.

HYPED!!!!!!
