13/5-NY3 soho not moma

Stepping into sat, visited SOHO, for Gallery Freeman's Mel Bochner's new works for this few years, a revisit to the dictionary, pick of Village voice or some newspapers.
Then move on south to Ronald Feldman, for its Artists Against the State: Perestrokia Revisited of all the soviet era Moscow Conceptualism underground art. They (like Kabakov) are definitely models for mMK. (Remember how Johnson said about HK art as underground art?).
then enter for the first time this Location One and discover this funny, or boring Azorro Group, which showed three videos and a interactive cd: first one is their visits to galleries, with all four of them kept saying the video title: {We} like it a lot. Second one Is an artist allowed to do anything, with them committing different sorts of minor offense like jaywalking, etc. in the city. In the third Azzorro Standard, they through and through measured the gallery, testing out the lighting etc. The cd is titled SMART, which in full is really Stop Making ART, which is like a therapy secession persuading artists to be true to themselves and give up making art. Equally silly is Lukasz Skapski shorts, one room in the back however feature his work Fuel (2006) which is a looping of explosion scenes all coming from Hollywood movies, much like what Lawman propose to the Fotan artists on carpark.
Visited Chelsea Eyebeam for an afternoon panel discussion on the not so interesting Aphrodite Project, a high tech, high heel shoes for sex workers, why, cause they invited Krzystof Wodiczko to talk too. Wow!
Then finally in the evening, rain starts to fall (signs of the coming storm next week), after a troublesome trip up to 34th to come back to the below the 4th (for the closing of the metro stop at 14th street where I stay) for heading back to SOHO for a dance performance at Joyce SOHO. I pick this, partly, for to avoid going with Hung Keung to Moma, and see the Polish film with him and a bunch of ACC grantees, including artists like Sung Dong!
