yesterday,
or the day before I went to an opening of an art-show by Sheila Pepe called "Hot Lesbian Formalism". The show had two works of art. One installation, a video called "Blue dress" (20 minutes free play) and another "Girders, Fence". The video was...allright though static and ultraminimalistic, and did not put forward the " vision of sex in the city as not yet seen on TV" as it said on the flyer.
The other work, a gigantic web made of industrial rubberband and shoelaces (crocheted, in danish: hæklet) was well crafted, the symbolism a bit too tacky, also lost strength in the confined room.
What I noticed most however was this quote from the flyer saying: She`s here, she`s queer and she`s crocheting.
