imomusI fly to London today for the opening of a group show at Heddon Street gallery Blow de la Barra. Click Opera readers in the London area, come along! The opening is this evening from 6pm to 8.30pm. As you can see, Lawrence Weiner and Douglas Coupland are also doing spoken word pieces, though I have no idea whether they're making the trip for the opening.
My piece is called "Whispering". It's a lot quieter than the piece I did at the Whitney Biennial. No bullhorn, no tour, not even a voice. Just breath and words. Just a label telling visitors that "Whispering" by Momus is available from the gallery staff on application. When people ask, they get a phrase I've e mailed the gallery that day whispered in their ear. Between now and September 2nd there'll be a fresh phrase daily. I'll also be asking staff to send me a mail each evening detailing one significant reaction, and that'll influence what I send.
I'll be in London for a week, mostly checking out the art school degree shows. And being really rather quiet.

berlin questions
Date: 2006-06-21 04:26 am (UTC)momus,
a couple questions about travel to berlin from new york....
how much does the flight cost this season (i heard it's peak) and was quoted around $800. are there any other routes, like flying into london or paris and taking the train? does that lower the total cost? should i wait til fall when the tickets are reduced?
i don't know anyone in berlin, so was wondering if the city is tourist friendly, or stranger friendly? what kind of accomodations (hotel/sublet) etc are ideal in this situation? i'm planning a 3 week trip.
thanks herr momus.

Date: 2006-06-21 08:46 am (UTC)i'll look into Ryanair even though it sounds like something out of a Wes Anderson movie.
what do you think about hostels/hotels, etc? are they hard to come by in berlin? just looking for some place to start looking for accomodations.
thanks!
