Incredible dancer, and, as I was lucky enough to talk to him once, a humble soul. This 1982 performance on Top Of The Pops to my favorite Shalamar song is the definition of A+. NASA level.
“People thought a rope was pulling me, they thought that I had, like, oil on the floor, they thought I had wheels on my shoes - people just couldn’t understand what was going on.”

I Feel Different
20 October 2009 — 24 January 2010
Opening reception: Tuesday, 20 October 2009, 8pm
with performances by resident artist Niña Yhared (1814) and James Luna
This provocative project explores both the experience of feeling different from others and the transformational power of art to make one feel differently. Most of the time, we attend museums and galleries with our social armor “up” — approaching art with sophistication, irony, and even a degree of cynicism. This exhibit gathers together artists working in the unusual registers of the sentimental and the sincere — testing the limits of what kinds of emotional expression are possible within art. In doing so, they ask us if tears register as “real” in art (and what happens when they do), what happens when we are asked to take on an artist’s outrage, depression, or pleasure as our own, or how much can an artist can really change how we feel (and if this what we want from them). The show acknowledges that contemporary art is powerfully defined by the relationship between art and the spectator, and asserts that emotion plays a major part in this story.
I Feel Different opens with an evening of moody performance — a reading by Raquel Gutierrez (the text of which is available on the exhibition’s website), and live performances by LACE resident artist Niña Yhared (1814) and James Luna. Niña Yhared will also be performing a special cabaret at Wildness on Oct 13, 2009 (2700 West 7th St., LA 90057).

Emily Mast and Evan Mast, 25 July –
“My brother Evan and i collaborated on an ephemeral piece for Exhibition in New York this past Monday. We filled the space with smoke and light in the middle of the night.”
to challenge traditional notions of artistic and curatorial authorship by setting up a “different”
type of experience for artists and viewers alike. How does it work? EXHIBITION is not set
up as a series of programmed exhibits but functions as a continuous spatial and temporal
unit over a period of 6 months. Invited artists are asked to engage directly with the concrete
situation of the space as they find it. Structurally, every artistic gesture is determined by a
set of agreed-upon parameters: for instance, interventions occur only in areas randomly
assigned by a throw of dice. It is understood by all participants that their intervention
invariably carries the potential of its own demise. And perhaps even more significant than
the material results generated is the continuous flow of immaterial conversation between
contributors and visitors.
Exhibition was initiated by Elena Bajo, Eric Anglès, Jakob Schillinger, Nathalie Anglès and
Warren Neidich.

An interview, and some background on his Boy’s Own label.
“Dub is one of them musics,” he muses. “You have flirtations with other things but you get bored and you always go back to it. It works on a really basic level. It borders on the religious to me, sometimes, when I listen to it.”
