The fact that my favorite thing about this show is how the corpses are displayed must say a lot about me.

MARC QUINN— Self 2006
made using 4.5 litres of his own blood, which was slowly extracted from his body over a period of five months and frozen in a cast of his face. Quinn has been making these roughly every five years since 1991

FREDERIC FONTENOY— Alkama (blood & milk) 2003 | 2 images
in Fontenoy’s words: “Alkama is an experiment, related to alchemy… The vital fluids, red and white, male and female, female or male, mingle—the experiment is whether they will interpenetrate or reject.” these photographs capture the moments when the two body substances first come together

JORDAN EAGLES— BAR 1-9 2009 + LIFE FORCE 2008
layers of Blood preserved on plexiglass, UV resin, the process of layering blood and resin in this manner (at times up to 3 inches thick) allows for the creation of depth, luminosity and texture.

ANDRES SERRANO— blood and semen V 1990 + bloodstream
The most famous and notorious of Serrano’s work plays on the relationship between beautiful imagery and vulgar often bodily materials and substances, his subject matter often draws from the potentially controversial and is intentionally provocative.

I had a grand total of 30 minutes to get ready for the opening/reception at the museum, so no hair picture today. But! The opening was incredible. So many people went and had nothing but positive things to say. I was working a “Make and Take” station helping kids make paper dolls during the opening, so that was pretty fun. Afterwards, my boss invited the other interns and me to her AMAZING house (built in 1880) for a post-reception thing with some of the artists from the show. I had so much fun and got to meet some really interesting people all while drinking some drinking some chardonnay and eating some tabbouleh. I also got to know a few of the interns a little better, which was nice. My feet are killing me and I only just now had a chance to breathe all day, but I’m really very happy (and possibly still a little buzzed).

5/23. I’m very surprised this held itself together so well throughout the day. Other than some flecos in the front and the top two buns in the back, it pretty much looks exactly as it did this morning.
