Theresa Hak Kyung Cha at the #whitneybiennial Tha Theresa Hak Kyung Cha at the #whitneybiennial  Thank you @ericdeanwilson for lending me Dictee some years ago, I think I somewhat selfishly kept the book for some time before I returned it. I like the way the line breaks parted like interlaced fingers, so that even before reading there was both meaning and pleasure in the simple act of opening the text.  So exciting to see more of her work. #TheresaHakKyungCha @whitneymuseum #concretepoetry #newyork #performanceart #translation #dictee #immigrantartist #poet #feminist

So much the matter and so much matter, thrilling t So much the matter and so much matter, thrilling to see the Chelsea shows this week, that do not quite exist in the digital, so much material and such brilliant artists wrestling with this moment, ‘in the studio, but looking out (at the world)’ to quote my amazing friend @aaronswilliams9

Thinking of my Mom, my past and present Mom. Her Thinking of my Mom, my past and present Mom.  Her dementia has changed so much about her, missing her soft confidence. Memory holds so much, her mind holds my life intact in so many ways. Doing my best now to hold something of her life intact, something of her kindness and her force.
