I’ve been away from the blog world – life’s been extremely busy. I’ll be positing, but sporadically… I’ve been watching this new T.V. series called The Big C, on Showtime starring Laura Linney. I’m enjoying the humor in it as well as the theme song by the Leftover Cuties. Enjoy!

Present with Marina Abromavic

I was in New York a couple of weekends ago to go to the icff and to see Marina Abramovic at the MoMa. She’s performing The Artist is Present, the longest performance piece in history, 716 hours and 30 minutes. Today is the last day for her performance. My BF and I, after two days and many hours waiting, got to sit with her! It was an amazing experience! The experience brought to life the essence of Abramovic’s work and how it’s about connection and love.

Here are some videos of her work. These videos are short and do not fully represent the beauty of her pieces, however, they give a sense and taste of what she does.

I love watching short films, so much can be said in a short amount of time and with few words.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted one of these videos – this week’s uketube video is Impulskontroll by The Bernadottes. I can’t understand a word they’re saying, but I really enjoyed the video and the music!
