• Here to talk about Joey
• Had his picture on my wall, my one and only
• It started at school, me pressed up against the bricks
• In the summer out back, in the sticks
• The city screamed to us from it’s canyons
• With its beats and passion and sins
• We scrawled our names on its walls
• An ancient city—
• we moaned our love down its halls
• We scratched our names in the sand
• And when we fought I scratched lines in his hand
• I saved all our memories in my scrapbook
• Empty pack of cigs, a ticket stub, all ready for one look
• That day it rained, he came round the same way
• The clouds crowning down, waiting for our play
• Oh, yeah and how we had loved minute to minute
• Never lookin up, not thinkin time would tip it

Art is a way one can express themselves without the concern of boundaries. I feel a lot of people often think of art as "being creative," even though it's much more than that. "Being creative" comes in various forms. The way you brush your teeth is creative because it's your own technique; and the outfit you choose to wear out of the house in the morning is creative since it's your own style. 

I like the idea of there being another Tali Autovino in the universe somewhere, for I have spent several hours of my life trying to determine what animal I 'll reincarnate into in my next life, even though all signs point to an aardvark. I haven't thought much about there being life on other planets, although David Bowie wrote a song about life on Mars. 

I believe that if there is life on another planet, all the people will look like the Snorks. Our personalities will be represented by the color Snork we are, so developing relationships will be a lot easier. I'm not sure what the antennae thing on our heads will be good for, but like I said, we can "be creative" with it. 

So, what do people mean when they say, "in an alternate universe…" or, "in what world…"? Your guess is almost as good as mine, even though I'm not sure what yours is. My guess is that when people say "in an alternate universe," they mean "if things weren't so bad, they'd be splendiferous," even though that's probably not true. We, as human beings, rely on a higher power whether that be God, a foreign world, or our mothers. It gives us a sense of comfort and sanctuary from a world that is entirely built on curiosity.

Open Call: On the Fence at The Dirty Dirty

OPEN CALL: ON THE FENCE

The Dirty Dirty

672 Westminster Road

Brooklyn, NY 11230

Over the years The Dirty Dirty has held events in its yard, but the 6’ high fence has kept passers-by from entering and experiencing the exhibitions. “On The Fence” aims to reverse this effect by hanging art on the exterior of the fence, whereby pedestrians will encounter the works as they stroll along Westminster Road.

Those who wish to participate in this neighborhood-friendly exhibition should bring their work, ready to hang (all work will hang off of the fence with twine---no screwing around!) to The Dirty Dirty by 5pm on April 28th. The artists should also be prepared to hang while we picnic and grill (behind the fence) throughout the length of the exhibition.

While the title describes the nature of the show’s hanging, it also alludes to the idiomatic expression of being “undecided”. It is strongly encouraged that you present work that you have never exhibited, precisely because you have been “on the fence” about it.

*The Dirty Dirty is not responsible for any missing or damaged artworks.
