The Biennial Project has the coolest fans in the world! As globe-trotting International Art Rock Stars, we travel the planet meeting the Glitterati. Starting today we will share our best fan photo every month. We thought long and hard (ahem!) about who should be the first Fan Of The Month – and decided to lead with nudity. Rick Dorff – amazing artist, deep thinker, and Biennial Project Fan – here’s to you!
Just back from our wildly successful appearance at the 2010 Whitney Biennial! We had so much fun-
giving lovely Biennial Project Gift Baskets to our friends the curators – Francesco Bonami and Gary Carrion-Muyayari ,
having photos taken with curator Gary Carrion-Muyayari ,
meeting with various dignitaries,
getting our important word out,
and reviewing the show for the BPP (Biennial Project Press).
Unfortunately, there was some kind of mix-up with the invite list to the exclusive VIP premier party -
and we were denied entry!
Asked to leave! Asked more firmly to leave! Escorted out! Removed from our hiding place in the women's bathroom! Watch the outrage of the art-loving public!
Ah well, tomorrow is another day.....
(check back soon for more fun Whitney footage!)
Given the recent presence of The Biennial Project just about everywhere you turn in the Art World, one might be tempted to think that it really is ALL about us.
But in addition to showcasing our own ground-breaking work to the world, we have been busy working for the betterment of mankind.
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve the lot of the non-famous many, we recently took our campaign against swine flu and other evil-doing microbes to the masses in San Marcos Square (Venice, Italy).
Now, you may have wondered if there were activities that were prohibited in San Marcos Square, and we can tell you at this point with certainty that there are at least two.
The first such activity is handing out promotional materials, even those clearly dedicated to the improvement of the human condition.
The second activity that is “forbidden! forbidden!” (to quote Venice’s finest) in San Marcos Square is feeding the birds.
This is the case even when such bird feeding efforts arise from the sincerest desire to improve the lot of Our Friend the Pigeon,
and not any crash attempt at publicity or sympathy from the animal lovers of the world.
But no, the pigeons will not be fed. On this point the Police were clear.
So, rather than risking further discoveries on other activities prohibited in San Marcos Square, off we went to spread our message of good will and hygiene to the denizens of some of Venice’s less highly regulated public squares.
As always, out efforts were well received, especially by Venice’s cognoscenti and glitterati, who know a good world-betterment campaign when they see one.
Afterward, we rested.
