Here's part 2 of the
haircutting saga: I just had to go to another salon today and have the "A line" angle cut more extreme. A lot of hair had to go, but now it looks a bit snazzier, I hope. Taking pictures of it myself is very difficult though. I've spent so much money this week: on charity, clothes, hair etc.! I'd rather not check how much. I bought a pair of jeans as well. The first in about fifty million years! I took the first bloody Levis that sort of fit. Now I'm also caught in the eternal cycle of having to go to the hairdressers every month, something I managed to avoid for about 14 years! Today I bought fucking flattening irons, too! I never saw the point of them and I hate those sleek, shiny hairdos -- but this morning I found out that my hair just curls the wrong way and flattening is the easiest and fastest way of getting it into shape. OK, enough boring, get-a-life "beauty" talk. Here are the latest pictures: |
In New York I went to see
Jenny Holzer's latest exhibitions at the Cheim & Reid and Yvon Lambert
galleries. I even got a poster! LOL I liked the "Archive" show best which includes series of oil on linen paintings and a large-scale LED display. The works feature declassified and other sensitive United States government documents. Here's the blurb: In her newest work,
Holzer negotiates the political landscape after 9/11 and traces the debate
over covert operations, ghost detainees, prisoner abuse, and war tragedies
in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo Bay through the directives, emails,
and testimonies of policy makers, soldiers, and prisoners. |
