I'm in the midst of some small rearranging in my room. I've been doing enough small art projects that I want a place to do that to see if I do more if I have place that's better set up for it. And I rearranged some storage so that I now have an open corner where I think I'm going to put some cushions for a sort of bohemian lounge area. I'm excited! I haven't substantially reimagined my room since we moved in here on halloween in 2012 ... or, I've had lots of ideas, but this is the first time I'm actually making some changes.

[personal profile] mekHad a small desk taking up space that I'm trying out to see a) if I like it and b) if not, what I learn from it to help me decide what to replace it with. Having installed it, I see I also need a seating object. Oops. But still, I'm excited!

I remain disengaged with work, but I'm liking the little places in other parts of my life that I'm getting more traction. More of that, delightful self!

image me!

So, I have an office(y sort of space) at my new job, and I want to fill it with beautiful pictures. I have some ideas, but I want your help, too, because that way the pictures will be both beautiful AND will make me me think of you!

What's an image you love that you'd like to think of me looking at day to day at work?

I have two poetry videos I want to share today. They both made the hair on the back of my neck stand up:

First, Katie Makkai presenting Pretty:


Second, Joy Harjo's Poem to Get Rid of Fear:

So, hey, there's this awesome event coming up: Figment. And in order to be the most awesome it can be, it needs YOU.

Figment is a free, participatory arts event that started in NYC in 2007 and is coming to Boston for the first time this year on Saturday, June 5. I'm volunteering to help make it happen, and I'm super excited about it. AND I want you to help, too!

I'm the activities/workshops/games curator, so I'm handing some fun, interactive projects, and I know lots of you have stuff that I think would be a great fit. You don't have to have a super polished formal kind of thing to put on an event or workshop; just have an idea for something interactive and fun or interesting (and legal) and you're all set. Have you always wanted to set up a finger-painting station in the middle of Memorial Drive? Want to help kids make magic wands? Enjoy teaching people to stilt or juggle or turn cartwheels? What about setting up a human-sized checkers game? Or capture the flag? Whatever! We want your fun ideas to come out and play. You can have something that lasts a little while or several hours.

To submit a project, go here. If you have questions about submitting a project, check out the FAQ.

Do it! Do it!

Go to this artist's website, click on "Performative Videos" at the bottom, then click on "The Square" at the bottom of the next page. Then giggle a lot.

I want to see this exhibition. Who wants to join me in Mexico City in January?
