Brigid Berlin's Needlepoint

Brigid Berlin is a New York heiress who in the 60's became one of Warhol's stars and Factory regulars. She often appeared shirtless in his films. Her own performance work often involved calling her slightly crazy mom in front of a large audience and riling her mother up. Now she has left that world and returned into the upper east side life she came from. Apparently the synthesis of her many worlds is tabloid needlepoint! Thank to Harper's.

They make Nick Cave dolls?

I want one. Sorry- couldn't help it. My pal Barbara and I just saw a show of the OTHER Nick Cave's work in NYC at the Jack Shainman Gallery. It is only up for 2 more days! It is so bad-ass ! ! Really- he has developed this language of the found object that is stunning. Who knew- there is a place to go with that after Joseph Cornell and Gee's Bend? Thank you Alex for the tip.

If I were a firefly I would light up my ass at night

See Isabella Rossellini's Green Porno Series. The snail episode is my favorite. If I am dreaming this please do not wake me up. Warning, do not show this to children. If you are old enough to watch Blue Velvet then this should not shock you. thanksTLDB

Kicked out for conceptual devience

Paul Laffoley is a painter whose work I have been lucky enough to see up close at Kirsten's dad's house. He's bad ass and crazy. He has a show up now at Kent Gallery. EJ found this super inspiring video.
