Mayhem ain't doin a lot right now except trying to cure my ice like addiction to facebook...
ohhhh what a slippery slide into chronic aphasia that is....
apart from my guest lecture at NAS tomorrow - i'll be going to the MOP show on thrushday coz the show is called multiple personality and it SOUNDS LIKE MY LIFE
also mop is an easy stroll form the sandstone castle I call home.
Multiple Personality
Mat de Moiser, Adrienne Doig, Matthew Hopkins, Robin Hungerford, Sari Kivinen, Ms & Mr, Luke Roberts, Pope Alice
Curated by Daniel Mudie Cunningham
MOP is on abercrombie street not very far from Broadway
Hell - I'm in the best pozzie to promote the show! I LIVE SCHIZO ANALYSIS! between schappylle, Nanna Madge, Protodoctor and the virgin mary - I ain't had the time to form a coherent sense of self.... Irigary would approve and so would Deleuze....
constructing a 'self' composed of networks of friends and amis on the platforms of facebook and my space has been an interesting exercise.... and I wonder if I'm much more than the threads of memory, and recounted stories, and connections made between my acquaintainces as well as those with me.....
also feel weird about asking for help... but err... time to bite the bullet.
and even though artists donate too much work and work for free anyway and that really sucks and I shouldn't be asking more from poor people.....
I REALLY WANT TO KEEP THE GREENS IN THE SENATE
and I don't know how else to raise campaign money, awareness, community goodness fast apart from hocking my hole(s) - and that might not fit in with my facebook profile, and as much as I respect my genitalia - I think art might give more pleasure to more people.....
so dear readers of this blog
If you are a art collector.... DONATE A PIECE OFF YOUR WALL OR STOREROOM and then go and buy some more art.
If you make saleable objects then DONATE ONE
If I have even bought one of your pieces then PLEASE DONATE ONE.
If you make non object based work: and do performance, video, happenings etc... then PLEASE participate in the looking for democracy show..... think what scragg would love and go for it.
I need expression of interest confirmed by this Saturday 22nd September (email: mayhemrox@gmail.com)
and work needs to be at mori gallery by 5pm on Saturday 29th September.
auction is on 4th October.
Just think how much more worthwhile this is than going in some Art competition or Prize.
You don't have to pay an entry fee
Your work will be on display in a well known international contemporary art space
You work will be hung in a reasonably unugly manner
you will get a catalogue and documentation of your participation
you will get an online published review of your work by mayhem
you will get a witty humorous review of your work by scragg
Your work will support a worthy cause
how many open entry group shows can top that?

I will donate an Artswipe mug, Ms Mayhem. Shall I mail it to you care of Mori Gallery? If you prefer I send direct, let me know where to send.
