My Little Abstract Pony: An Exhibition
If you’re one of the poor starving artists in this city, you’re going to need to know about some cool cheap things to do around town. A great resource for this is the website, freenyc.net, which lists all types of free events. One that I plan go to tomorrow is an art exhibition in Brooklyn involving ‘My Little Ponies’.
Blank My Little Ponies were given to local artists to design and tomorrow’s event features all of the results. Mediums include sculpture, photography and dioramas. After the exhibit, all of the ponies will be auctioned on eBay. The best part of this art project is that all proceeds go to Just Food, an educational and agricultural non-profits in the city.
I once tried to do a light installation piece with a bunch of bald, naked Barbies I stumbled upon in my father’s basement that my sisters and I had abandoned decades ago. I decided against the idea since I realized it might be too much of a fire hazard and burning plastic stinks. No worries, I’ve alerted the MoMa that the project is on hold until further notice…

I wonder if your father plays with those Barbie dolls…I know I would.

I totally just read this in my reader and jumped to the actual page to leave a comment along the lines of “Wow, Brian has a bunch of bald, naked barbies in his basement too – do you think your father and he know each other?”
…only to find that Brian’s already been here to embarrass himself. Two scary thoughts: Brian’s statement, and that I was thinking the same thing.
