During these production performances I constructed TARP-WARE Domestic Linens, which consist of a set of 6 FEMA tarp/fabric place mattes and coordinating napkins. These NEW ORLEANS PROUD TO BE HOME items were then randomly left at FEMA trailers in Gentilly.<br /><br />I have continued setting up shop for two weeks; the locations consisted of a Po-Boy shop, a restaurant, a gas station, a Billiard house and a boy’s home, where Louis Armstrong learned how to play the trumpet.<br /><br />Friday June 8, I had my first customer! She needed to have two pieces of fabric sewn together to use as a throw to recover her couch and chair. When she stopped three other people stopped and each had a different story of seeing “the sewing lady” around the neighborhood, and each also had something for me to do. Looks like I’m going to be busy until Wednesday when I head back up to Chicago. I feel like I’m running out of time, and the project is just getting off the ground. Which means I will have to come back to New Orleans.<br /><br />The polaroid image was taken by one of the visitors.Pathogeographieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12067848089107555828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389412387366227157.post-82733355401149274362007-06-05T06:52:00.000-07:002007-06-05T06:54:02.150-07:00ElWear in Chicago<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGPTWnTP-Uw60LPUW582FP8Z-Opnbo2tbLgRFheN9NSIXPXCBZtbE3Uj59YUCeELmbldY2M55BI1nCRY0D9LLxZ_T7uZcfw12lxhS4Q7ZNPlMIcne_-XEUqRSsduX0L-OtPIG5DHXgVxk/s1600-h/elwear.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGPTWnTP-Uw60LPUW582FP8Z-Opnbo2tbLgRFheN9NSIXPXCBZtbE3Uj59YUCeELmbldY2M55BI1nCRY0D9LLxZ_T7uZcfw12lxhS4Q7ZNPlMIcne_-XEUqRSsduX0L-OtPIG5DHXgVxk/s200/elwear.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5072577905143633714" /></a><br /><br />You too can try on Gretchen Vitamvas's "ElWear" and wear it on the El.

It's hard to get people talking. My first tactic of going FEMA trailer to FEMA trailer, didn't work too well. People thought the idea sounded good and were grateful for the offer, but were not interested in taking me up on a sewing project. So starting this week, i have staked out a site, in front of an abandoned strip mall, made a sign that says free sewing service and am going about constructing tablecloths and napkins, which i randomly leave at a FEMA trailer.

I recall the day when my psychiatrist gave me some free samples of some SSRIs (Serotonin Selective Re-uptake Inhibitors) such as Paxil and Lamictal. Aside from side effects such as fatigue, weight loss, and minor electric zaps, they have been really great. (I hope that you can sense my sarcasm!) However, now that I'm hooked and don't have insurance, they are quite expensive. Would you like a free sample? (The samples I'll be handing out are only sugar pills, commonly known as "Smarties.")Pathogeographieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12067848089107555828noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389412387366227157.post-91441830724204751382007-05-16T12:05:00.000-07:002007-05-16T21:15:00.861-07:00Don’t be a bystander!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV6KTHNd_G5mgrp9z_vN5AUykmPmDhkdgiKVNP7yFr-rFSe8dvKQ0u-zEIzv98rHXLKSRhPK4K79nYbCG2sdn4zkGCvb8l9K8ZCDUOz-dHdmS91QMI90pUd7dLfHBz5q51N-EmCzetq4k/s1600-h/T.A.M.M.S..jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV6KTHNd_G5mgrp9z_vN5AUykmPmDhkdgiKVNP7yFr-rFSe8dvKQ0u-zEIzv98rHXLKSRhPK4K79nYbCG2sdn4zkGCvb8l9K8ZCDUOz-dHdmS91QMI90pUd7dLfHBz5q51N-EmCzetq4k/s200/T.A.M.M.S..jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5065236989914497378" border="0" /></a>The Tamms Poetry Committee will be holding a letter-writing event for the 286 prisoners housed in the Tamms Supermax prison in Tamms, IL. These men are in solitary confinement 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They have no human contact. They have no library, no classes, no enrichment programs, no religious congregation, no group activities, no communal space. Food is served in the cell. They are not allowed phone calls. Visitation, which is done from behind glass, is rare or non-existent. Tamms is 250 miles from Chicago, with no access via public transportation, and it is generally prohibitive for families to make the journey. The inmates suffer from extreme sensory deprivation, loneliness, depression. These conditions constitute torture, a fact recognized by both the U.N. and by Amnesty International. In spite of their situation, the men are trying to hold up. It means a lot to them to know that people are concerned about their situation. Come, read some of their letters, meet members of their families, and be part of a group mailing experience.Pathogeographieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12067848089107555828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389412387366227157.post-1061857080175543312007-05-15T22:20:00.000-07:002007-05-16T12:34:05.709-07:00pretty, pretty... pretty over there too<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKrI2Dre8OARLU4jsu-DMk1kszr8hT2f-jHpb5kRbJw8iIjBoXL70-oT1lhd3Gq8rb0iR3d2E6F3tpRaEV0KXb0KYEPUCrA9wJdyGDU9r86o_H65l_7K__G1G0AmrJGBcFhbDjBMLkKTY/s1600-h/!!4.27.07.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKrI2Dre8OARLU4jsu-DMk1kszr8hT2f-jHpb5kRbJw8iIjBoXL70-oT1lhd3Gq8rb0iR3d2E6F3tpRaEV0KXb0KYEPUCrA9wJdyGDU9r86o_H65l_7K__G1G0AmrJGBcFhbDjBMLkKTY/s200/!!4.27.07.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5065024230119555410" border="0" /></a>Joan Dickinson<br /><br />I was assigned a tiny office in a building on Michigan Avenue in the south loop two years ago. Although the office itself is small, there is a large, wall-sized window which opens the wall in an easterly direction, affording me a view of such magnificence as I have ever known in Chicago.<br /><br />During the first year in my tiny office I stared: at Grant Park, its seasons, its usages, its statuary; at Lake Shore Drive, its poignancy, motion, the push and pull of it, the stops and starts; at our lake, our great lake, Lake Michigan, its weathers, flows, mists, the birds that blow atop it like paper, the sky above it, the paper in the sky above it.<br /><br />During the second year I began to take pictures. Almost everyday. Almost everyday at the same time. I send them to my friends, colleagues, and students. Some send me messages in return in the form of e-mail and in the form of pictures. One friend sent me a picture of her child, a daughter.Pathogeographieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12067848089107555828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389412387366227157.post-74402800741368048372007-04-22T14:35:00.000-07:002007-04-25T06:20:39.068-07:00Festival of Political Emotion<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlua2Ws3iZu9ICTyjze6Ae81a5Kye_2Bzp1S4AJ7MLKMTdK3sMQHbSF-8yggv3gTEcwJHXGsmAQBkYh3xo56OKINs07RaDEBCsdmgjUXBrGr8J14pgEDbQ9bEvyna0dV7zkP18-iKQbeg/s1600-h/Picture+26.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlua2Ws3iZu9ICTyjze6Ae81a5Kye_2Bzp1S4AJ7MLKMTdK3sMQHbSF-8yggv3gTEcwJHXGsmAQBkYh3xo56OKINs07RaDEBCsdmgjUXBrGr8J14pgEDbQ9bEvyna0dV7zkP18-iKQbeg/s200/Picture+26.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5056370706334866274" border="0" /></a>Feel Tank and others<br /><br />On June 16, the first Saturday of the Pathogeographies exhibition, Feel Tank will host a Festival of Political Emotion at Gallery 400 including a chance to participate in George Bush's daily thoughts about Iraq. The festival embraces a variety of projects with artists on hand to elicit your participation and measure the emotional temperature of the body politic. How do you carry your pile of political feelings? How do you cope with Other People's Baggage? What is to be felt, and what is to be done?Pathogeographieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12067848089107555828noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5389412387366227157.post-70143130331637077692007-04-22T07:08:00.000-07:002007-04-25T06:21:00.416-07:00Feel Kit<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW4YLchTwUMrrf3sWG1c7Gic82zEZ5T2hSJ_FMjHpXjnch0cCMW1K7IMc9_QeGcsfXrHDHj0jfSiyq8bSAuRzpkNTlsGi74jwq7IRsTDOpdnCItlR6SNjYe3gphGVkazDFwYwEcUlcPR4/s1600-h/feelkit.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW4YLchTwUMrrf3sWG1c7Gic82zEZ5T2hSJ_FMjHpXjnch0cCMW1K7IMc9_QeGcsfXrHDHj0jfSiyq8bSAuRzpkNTlsGi74jwq7IRsTDOpdnCItlR6SNjYe3gphGVkazDFwYwEcUlcPR4/s200/feelkit.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5056255223254211394" border="0" /></a>Feel Tank and others<br /><br />Feel Tank Chicago presents the <a href="http://utopianfutures.uchicago.edu/tiki-index.php?page=FeelKit">Feel Kit</a><a href="http://utopianfutures.uchicago.edu/tiki-index.php?page=FeelKit">,</a> a wiki of keywords on political emotion.<br /><br />All are welcome to participate in writing the Feel Kit.
