The famous Splat:

What can I say……. The most interesting thing is the humour and comedy…it makes some of the actions that would be difficult to watch more accessible although I must say I still found thinks difficult like being on the floor covered in Ketchup… reminded me of some of MacCarthy’s videos where he plays with Ketchup and sausage…

My favourites seens where: The flying through the air like a bad arial dancer… The story about little bitch and my super favourite was the using the knife like a dick to slash the bags full of ketchup. A woman that now has the Power of the Phallus.

I like how the event is like a parody of a Pop singers show but draws on soo much stuff, like Beckett, folk tales, porn imagery.

 

The Famous, How to Become a Cupcake/The Famous’ Adaptation of Frankenstein:

For me the most interesting bits are the really messy ones, fillthy and gross… what it is normally considered failure by being gross, tabu, bad taste becomes a succes  by being failure on this stage. Even the kind of intervals in between busy stages  become interesting become they are mundane  and boring.

My favourite part of this movie is the melting ice lolly that looks so much like a dick when is melting!

GetinthebackoftheVan- Big Hits:

This has been a diffigult piece for me to watch. I have found it boring to the point of falling to sleep. I found some bits funny, like the guys jokes and somethings annoying like Lucy’s shagging moves and booby wobbles.  I thought it was far to long.

But I found the concept of the bunny  rabbit beeing there and to give security and comfort  and then getting to a point that it can bee killed because it is no longer necessary very interesting.

On the whole though I was pleased when the piece was finished… that was the highlight  for me being able to stop watching because it was boring me.

Ryan Trecartin’s “A Family Finds Entertainment”:

Initially it made me think about multiple personality disorder… then I felt it was more like a stream of the subconscious emerging. I like the dreamlike quality created by the sound and visual effects. I like the Hypertheatricality and the messiness. I like the fact that most caracters in the piece are performing therir gender, subject in a non normative way, more like in an abject/ wrong kind of way.

I like the irreverence specially when refering to the guy that has just been ran over and draws attention to existential issues and the value of life and human relations. I think that the paradox/ contradiction between the silliness, ridiculousness , excessive make up  in contrast to the very real like the very clear image of the cat, the scrottum of one of the guys and the girl that is filming and sentences like a guy has just been hit by a car and is lying on the floor… make a coment on the contradictions or real life and real humans.

Richard Maxwell “End of Reality”and “Drummer Wanted”

Uhmmm…. There is a contradiction here between what is being said and the actions and there is also hyperthatricality… But what i find most interesting is the contradiction… Like when the guy in End of Reality that has just been in a fight gets asked what happened to you? and he says I just hurt myself…. when he has just been beaten up… or when he is still on the floor and he has to ask the security man to help him …. because he is not doing his job… it brings a pang of pain…  and harsh reality to ones head….

Ann Liv Young “The Bagwell within me”

My favorite bit here is the mess with  the red bath tub. The exageration of what is deemed ugly… like pubic hair, saggy bellies and bad dance moves. This women seemed to be enpowered by making use of all that ussually deems them powerless.

Vaginal Davis. 2003. ‘Ron Athey and Vaginal Davis Present: Visions of Excess’.

Marines and big packets…  The military  forces and the phallus … both symbols of power … The phalluses here and made bigger than they really are and this is obvious… we all know by looking at them that they aren’t real… The making fun of this is like saying no to power structures and normativity.

 Karen Finley – ‘We Keep Our Victims Ready’ and ‘Im an ass, man’.

In both films Karen Finley performs her gender in a way the is considered wrong for the normative stereotype. She makes her self look ugly, disgussting and rude and these are negative attributes for a woman. I think the main strength of how she is doing is because it comes across as very ‘real’… not theatrical, not pretending but like performing herself and seems to be saying : Real women can also be filthy, rude, disgusting…. etc.

 

Ron Athey -Self Obliteration:

Things that I think are bery important in this performance:

1- The Blond Wig: Points to the queer body.

2- The blood and The Glass Panes: These, together with the known fact that Ron Athey is HIV +… makes refference to the medical condition and to the weight, pain and fear that that brings with. The glass panes make refference to microscopy slides used to look at blood smears… it is like Ron Athey is making a smear himself.

4- The raised stage and lighting- Gives it a kind of sacred aura.

Andy Warhol- Blowjob, Empire, Kiss and Mario Banana: 

I think in all 4 films there is an element of voyeurism. There is also an element of Boredom. In all 4 films I am straight away excited by the image but as the films are so long after a while i become tired of looking at them and start figiting and want them to hurry up and finish… so I think I actually become a little irritated by them.
