the more i do both visual art and dance culture jobs, and my own art, the more i find others who do the same.
so much beauty. so many beautiful people.
Last night, my evening spanned uptown/downtown. and by uptown, I dont mean Martha Graham or NYC ballet. I mean Thelma Golden, Glenn Ligon, Malik Gaines, downtown I mean Roselee Goldberg, Yvonne Rainer, Danspace Board members, and my usual suspect art star friends, Judy Hussie Taylor, George Emilio Sanchez, Patricia Hoffbauer...
these nights, use time right...
