Yahoo has a nice photo of colored powders, ready for the Holi festival. Stephen Dean had a beautiful video from the festival at Henry Urbach in 2001.

Eileen Myles
I didn’t realize she had a web page. Fabulous! Thanks to Mr. Trinity for letting me know. I first met her through Paul Schmidt — a genius we lost before we should have.

French Toast
It’s probably American — possibly named after an Albany chef named Joseph French.

Oh yeah, I’m cool
The newspapers won’t even print the title, but Suzan-Lori Parks’ new play Fucking A, is the hottest ticket in New York.
My mother is coming to New York at the end of the month, and we already have tickets to take her. We’re also taking her to see a real musical instead of the crap that Broadway produces these days: People Are Wrong at P.S.122.

Art Art Art
Busy art weekend! If I’m not too feverish — still have my cold — I will be at the Friday and Saturday Scope Art Fair parties, and possibly head to Williamsburg on Saturday for some of their festivities. I’ll probably go to the Armory Show during the day on Saturday.

On a lighter note…
I’m going to the 7:30 show of Kiki and Herb at Knitting Factory tonight.
I note that Knitting Factory Hollywood has Ellen Degeneres while the NYC one is putting on people like Kiki and Herb. That rather sums it all up, doesn’t it?
Courtesy of Chris, here is an MP3 of Kiki and Herb’s “People Die”. It’s high quality, so it’s rather big (10.9 MB).

Yes, I know I should really be going to a performance of Lysistrata. There is one at Barracuda at 4pm…

A night in Williamsburg
Williamsburg galleries will be open until midnight this Saturday, March 8 — followed by an afterparty at northsideBank. More details may be found here.
In honor of France’s pro-peace stance, Plus Ultra Gallery will be holding a wine tasting featuring French wines from 9-midnight.

Art under attack
Go read James’s posting of Nicolás Dumit Estévez being arrested while doing a public art project on Valentines Day — giving people flowers in the subway.
Not directly related:
Has anyone else noticed that the NYC media basically never mentions the fact that there are National Guardsmen with automatic weapons in the subways? Are we supposed to just expect things like that now, without comment?

Joe Ovelman @ Daniel Silverstein
I went to Joe Ovelman‘s opening on Friday night before going to the Public. HIGHLY recommended. There is a new series called “Snow Queen”, of Joe in drag photographing himself in a snowy Central Park at night, which totally blew me away. I expect I will have to buy at least one of those.
