A few years ago we were staying in Oracle Arizona for the winter hold and visited the Rancho Linda Vista, location of Warhol’s 1968 film Lonesome Cowboys

NYE 1985, at my friend Brad Lapin's party, 41 years ago ;)

James Magee and The Hill, (1945-2024) I had the pleasure of spending an unplanned day with him in El Paso just before his death, still had the art making boner! 💗

Coming very soon to New Discretions Gallery in NYC, psyched to be in this lineup, art favorites living and dead. I've made 3 new photographic collages from Judas Cradle and autoFF images on the Egerton MS backdrop (medieval books of blood), sized for frames that John Cage scores were in! 🥀🥀

Happy New Years, resolutions stewing in me ;)

One xmas season Kembra Pfahler was driving to my old earthquake shattered silver lake house and found Falling James at a west side bus stop in this dear French maid's outfit 💙💙 I can't sleep with an LED light on in the room let alone have silver walls, so this was a very temporary Factory moment ;)

“The funny thing about Dial-a-Poem was that there was no substance. It worked, but it wasn’t an object. In those years, artists were trying to make things, things, things” -John Giorno #BOTD

Honcho, 1998, I had a monthly column for a few years which could be covering anything from a sex party to an interview to a review of the Venice biennale. RIP Udo Kier

The great Udo Kier, whom I once interviewed on stage in Toronto, both getting drunk on Chardonnay & Jagermeister, as he mercilessly teased me, has died at 81. Udo, one of the hardest working men in show biz, worked w/ everyone from Paul Morrissey to Fassbinder to Lars Von Trier

at Fahey Klein Gallery with Fakir, Delbert and Udo 🥀🥀

RIP Udo Kier 🥀🥀🥀 I interview him when Kingdom Hospital was released in cinema, and carried on with a fashion spread, curating him into Visions of Excess in Brum England, Berlin travels, and lots of Palm Springs times in the early 2000s.

Just home from Athens but missing my loves Daniel, Michele, Jeremy, Riven 🩷🩷🩷 and another 45! So hard to leave intense community 💘💘💘😢

I'm in Chile and everyone here who still has PSTD from watching people getting stuffed into trucks by the military during the Pinochet era is like, there no way in hell I'm going to the U.S. even for 5 minutes.

I'm going to make certain I hit this show in NYC while it's up, have just been writing on Unarius, Universal World Church, and the uglier chapters of Jim Jones. Big congrats to Jodi Wille for curating this, if you have seen her docs Welcome Space Brothers, and The Source Family, get involved xxx

LA: if you can handle screenings and lecture about my 1990s pre-Protease AIDS work, please join! It's feeling more and more abstract knowing people born in the time or prep and pep but this era of the pandemic demanded this work.

Winding me up and co-signing it
