"If in fact you'd really like to know the truth about how to succeed in Graduate School... I 'd like to then begin by imploring all of you to drop out of school right now! ...but being as smart and gifted as I'm sure you all are, you'll probably want to wait until I've finished giving this talk and you've finished with dessert!"
	from a talk at a recent grad student colloqium: "Honest Advice On How To Succeed In Graduate School"

<<Montreal, Canada. May 28, 2002

"les gens affluent dans les rue/ the people poured into the street" a collaborative performance/intervention in the streets of Montreal, during the last two weeks of May 2002.

"...we decided to draw our own sense of place--a "caricature" of another world.To explain briefly: we decided to make drawings using the streets and sidewalks as our literal "ground." Inspired by the Belgian born, Mexico City artist Francis Alys, we wanted to use a can of dripping paint to mark our path. To make the largest drawings possible, stretching from one end of Montreal to another, and inspired by the ubiquity of bicycles in the city, we outfitted ours with a paint dripping system, transforming them into drawing contraptions..."

Recently the project was written about in a Montreal arts journal.

<<Documenta 11, Kassel Germany. July 2002

This a polaroid (one of the only two pictures that I have from my trip to Europe) taken in Kassel near the Cocooning Lofts, a temporary hostel set up near the exhibition sites. We wandered past a parking lot with a low metal gate which we promptly attempted to limbo under, past a disco with Turkish and African youth. We walked by a auto lot with PT cruisers and took this picture with one of those old folding polaroid cameras.
