LIVE AT NYPL

wendy — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 21:01:27 +0000

A conversation between Lena Herzog and Lawrence Weschler, and a rapt audience including me. Historical references, (e.g. Peter the Great) quotes (e.g. Sartre and Nabokov) , poetry (e.g.Wislawa Szymborska) were all flying, and we ate it up.

SCHOLASTIC AWARDS

wendy — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 21:50:33 +0000

Many years ago, when I was in high school, I won an award that, like many other young artists and writers, gave me a lot of “creative courage.” I was asked to display my newest book Art Without Compromise* in a show of past winners, and if you scroll down to WRITING, you will see my name on a short and impressive list.

BAM AFRICAN DANCE FESTIVAL

wendy — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 13:35:18 +0000

I only caught the last half of the last day. This picture is from the web. There is no need for me to take pictures like these when I can find better ones on the web.

This is my building, my neighborhood. My home. People all around. People who do and do not look like me. Are like me, are not like me.

INTERVIEW

wendy — Thu, 27 May 2010 13:03:18 +0000

Kathy Cartwright has a wonderful blog. When my book came out, she did an in-depth review. She later told me that it elicited one of her most lively discussions with her followers. We recently did an interview on her blog. This was great for me, because, as I told her, I am a big believer in asking questions. It’s a very generous thing to do, and I recommend it to my students and colleagues. Ask each other questions: a well-considered question is more generous and helpful than giving advice.

RECENT REVIEWS OF MY BOOK

wendy — Wed, 05 May 2010 12:34:32 +0000

I really appreciate this review in the Collagist of my new(ish) book Art Without Compromise* and my recent show Overheard with collaborator Michael Chladil. It is one of the rare reviews that makes the connection between my artwork and my writing. It’s a smart take on what I am trying to do.

dark side of Broadway

wendy — Sun, 02 May 2010 23:36:25 +0000

I woke up hearing the news on the radio. Last night in Times Square, the police defused a car bomb. It was in an SUV filled w fireworks and gasoline and electrical wires and something else that would have caused a big explosion and fire. It was at 45^th and seventh.

So of course I think, yesterday I was at 46^th and between Bway and seventh having walked up from 43^rd. So, of course I was there mere hours and steps away from a near disaster. And of course everyday I am hours and steps away from a disaster, of course. But then, I thought this:

My iconic New York is not just about culture and monuments and world class arts and all of that. It is also abut being a target. Iconic New York is as much about the absence of the Twin Towers as it was about their existence. More so? Probably. So my New York is a target. Why? Mostly because of its density. It is an “easy target.” Yes, symbolic, it is important that a target is also symbolic. But most of all — and here is the perfect phrase — This is where you get the most bang for your buck.

Broadway, Twyla Tharpe, Come Fly Away

wendy — Sat, 01 May 2010 23:23:28 +0000

Spur of the moment with Ally, in from California. A few hours free, and it was between Bill T Jones and Twyla Tharpe. Chose Twyla. She is the brilliant combination of Broadway and modern. For me, a perfect New York experience: at 10 am, I am in a cafe in Brooklyn thinking I will spend the day working; at 1pm I am on the subway , 1:30 coffee and cheesecake at Sofia, and at 2 I am watching a Broadway musical. The last number was Sinatra’s New York New York. Perfect.

Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island

wendy — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 23:31:05 +0000

First picture: me and Statue of Liberty. Second picture: stranger and my building in the distance, from Ellis Island. In other words, I can look at Liberty and Ellis Island from my windows. I do, every day.
