          Hi. I like your necklace. - It's actually a rape whistle, but the whistle part fell off.

                John Duncan's installation The Gauntlet

                You enter the main exhibition hall of the gallery, really big space, all dark. The only source of light you have is a little flashlight with a black plastic film over, so it won't do anything good. Except giving you a false feeling of security.

                As you walk longer into the total dark room, seven anti-theft alarms starting to sound in like... 130 db, triggered in activated by sensors.

                I really liked it, the things you start to "see" in the dark. And as some other of Duncans work, you can either panic along with the group or go inside yourself to find peace.

                  thank you for jogging my memory on john duncan
                  aka, you'd love this guy.

                  he is a notorious figure in the la art scene
                  at the request of paul mccarthy
                  he came to speak to our class
                  he was dressed in total leather daddy outfit
                  he is an intense corpsefucker, someone from a different era

                  i dont remember much of what he said
                  only the audio maxwell tape he played which i can still hear

                  quite rustling in the background
                  like leaves brushing against the pavement
                  for an agonizingly long time
                  it went on
                  until

                  "blind date"
                  he fucked a cadaver
                  that he bought in mexico

                  and then later got a vasectomy
                  so that his last good seed would go to a corpse

                  he got run out of LA for this
                  a huge backlash
                  people thought he made it up
                  but it was real

                  his website presents a sanitized account
                  but that experience is at the top of the list
                  of shit i would have rather not seen/heard
                  One wonders where it will end, when everything has become gay.

                    he's sure done some sick shit, ringing on his friends door in the middle of the night dressed like a robber, only to fire a blank right at his friends head when he opened the door, then run away.

                        speaking of duncan, here's an absolute classic piece in the canon of sound art from an artist who has worked with him. didn't know this has been reissued 3 times. i still have the original (released on selektion) from way way back. phenomenal work. the most recent reissue has the piece remastered accordingly, it would seem. :)
                        a great deal to see as well... if you close your eyes.

                          The fluid dress video is here: http://vimeo.com/16871362 ------- This is a small prototype for a fluid dress that I showed at the 2009 Maker Faire in San Mateo. More…


                          Never seen anything like that before and was thoroughly entertained.
