amis CV
hey guys, i’m putting together my CV for some grant stuff, but i never kept a consistent numbering system and my archives are a famous mess. anyway, maybe this is the height and breadth of laziness, but i was wondering if you readers might want to chime in on some of your favorite fujichia artworks, including the trivial, the accidental, the ephemeral, and the capital ‘a’ Art. music, performance, visual art, things at the store, things curated, everything. include dates if you can think of them, and anecdotal information if available. i don’t want to miss anything!
put comments in the comments section of this postttttt.
Interview With A Frankenstein magazine 2001
a bag of plastic horses and one crocodile, labeled “NICE HORSIE” 2008
my daughter said “that’s not a horse or nice!”
Fujichia “Mermaid” T-shirt
Dickens Hotcakes “no questions” T-shirt
Dickens Hotcakes “We Fight And Die” CD/LP(?)
Magic Comb
Glow-in-the-dark Microquilt
standouts:
“Live Zine Project” performance at AS220. summer 2002, probably june or july. possibly my first ever encounter with jacob berendes, as he scribbled desperately on an overhead projector. at that show, he was selling copies of the first fujichia cd: “$5, $6 for art school students”. I bought one ($6).
“Fujichia Follies” performance/orchestration at the WAG, July(?) 2003. dancing! beautiful girls! singing! rhymes! antics! did one man organize this entire variety show?
also as featured at that same event, performance as Dracula in the Terribles’ live-soundtrack movie.
BSR live-block appearance, 2003? comedy, phone calls, rare archive recordings of “Artforum Preteen” etc.
poster comic (or maybe this was a one-off sharpie marker drawing, not sure…) of different panels of the tale of a monster, possibly frankenstein, that could be read side-to-side or up-and-down, in any direction. many different stories were told, all of which made ‘sense’. pre-2004 (at least, I saw it in 2004, and you said it was old then). what happened to this? did you make any copies? can I get one?
music performance at Okie St, spring 2005 (with terribles, cool breeze, etc): many beautiful and emotional songs.
“Sparkle Nuts” breakfast-cereal-themed photocopied flyer for a show at forbes, 2006.
music performance at Stairwell Gallery, July 2008, featuring passion & errors in equal measure, with shirtsleeve ripped open and tied to upper arm. audience enthralled.
performance as dracula was in my own movie “incident at borgo pass”, which also starred mike leslie as van helsing, and this was at the movies with live soundtracks event, independant of fujichia follies. but this is great, thanks everyone and keep going!
Puzzled Panter live at as220 with crowd surfing 9 year-old and cardboard car that we all threw paper rocks at.
Ah, that should read “Puzzled Panther”…
oh yeah, those were two separate movies… I merged them in my brain. 1) e.t. head comes out of pizza box, 2) jacob is dracula. didn’t they both involve manic chase scenes through woods, though?
the terribles movie “the terribles present” featured lots of hydrotechnics.
i never did anything with that frankenstein comic, i’ll try and find it and scan it in for you jean, or re-do it.
What about the Fireball show at the Space where you recorded your voice in advance and then just ran around outside getting high 5s from people who were confused why your mouth wasn’t moving? That was what, 1999?
Plus the ‘zine that was a reprint of blog selections from this very blog. That must’ve been 2001 or 2002, it was at a time where a year later it would’ve not been OK.
I’ll second the BSR live-block appearance, Crypt of Everything, and anything you’ve done with Puzzled Panther.
Oh, and the Jam Soniques\4 track game.
