cute huh? I think this post is going to be mainly pictures.
Anyway my "curatorial premise" is an exhibition and salon of curious things which loosely respond to the title; erotica, botanica, a bit of both , one or the other, grotesqueries, love, sex, death, ephemera. It may also include surrealist ornament, object d'art, paintings, ceramics, macrame, old weird things lying round the house, artifacts, postcards. In their entirety they will make up a intriguing bouquet. It's almost an anti curating experience but curiously also very controlled and orchestrated. I've been thinking about this a bit too much perhaps....
I've been thinking about macrame too and how i am both genuinely terrified and compelled by it . I think it might make a bit of a comeback, and not just to hold big orangey gourds. This anonymous photo probably most neatly describes my intention....I would love to meet its curator/ artist. It actually reminds me a little of an ex boyfriends family kitchen whose mother was a great gardener and artisan of sorts.
keeping the orangegy theme going... obvious sex motifs and flower /vagina metaphors

Oh look some faded old photos and postcards when everything was dappled in glamorous lighting...jeez it's so harsh the lighting these days. Beautiful Charlotte flower descending the staircase......
hello rug.. I like you too
we should include backgammon sets as well ....especially ones that look as surreal and ugly and fantastic as this one. Its funny how when you pick a "theme" or strange trajectory it has so many interpretations and segues. Is everything everything? is nothing nothing? just thought I'd incorporate some hippie philosophy I learnt in my youf.
Rude! Corpse flowers....Lets have a little snack break....but up the road a bit at my favourite
Nam Loong..who were shut down a few times for having cockroaches in the kitchen and stuff. I've remained loyal..they have the best duck and the best pork buns and Chinese sausage.....mmmmmm.
up here a little..... trot trot
"arty" Chinese restaurant shot....orange theme still continuing
Ahhhh all the beautiful rude flowers in our days and ones that have passed....

"Deep Throat TV" Aurel Schmidt, 2010
I think Aurel Schmidt understands my curatorial premise. Beautiful decay, fecundity, flowers and penises, abjection, decoration, fluids, juices, substances, ripe smells, burnt eyeballs, love, dissolution, donuts and streamers, joy, ecstasy, repulsion, swarming, heaving life...?!#@! Fuck yeah
Also by Aurel Schmidt but can't find date/title...if you know let me know
