Miwa Koizumi -- kite project
Working off of some images we made for Flutter, (those ubiquitous plastic grocery bags which float around NYC like no other city it seems) Miwa wants to build a kite, adding more and more grocery bags. Can we make the thing fly ? The Caribbeans in our neighborhood love to fly kites in the park. Can we build one with trash? --Miwa and Marco TrashDarling. Don't ask the Caribbeans in your neighborhood to participate in this project. They are a most elegant and fun-loving group, so it is a waste to ask them to abandon their bright and colorful kites in exhange for a cheap shopping bag. Instead, let me propose the following. When we think of trash in our contemporary lives, what is it that comes to mind most often? Yes, my dear, Europeans. Euro-Trash. This is what you must do: Take your lovely plastic shopping bags to the corner of Broadway and Prince Street in SoHo. Stand in front of Prada with a sign saying this: "Euro Kites for Sale." At 15 minute intervals, send one of your kites into the air and attempt to sell it to the first young man that passes by with a mullet, sunglasses and entirely too much Acqua Di Parma sprayed onto his lovely tanned body for $230. Tell him it is art, and that it will release him. Eriko Arakawa Do you know him?can you asking to this guy to perticipate my project? No darling, I don't.My dear, I only dated him briefly for about five weeks in 2003 while he was on a long lay-over on his way home to Dusseldorf. I lost his number, so you'll just have to use somebody else. Eriko Arakawa |
