there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I’m not going
to let anybody see
you.
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he’s
in there.
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody’s asleep.
I say, I know that you’re there,
so don’t be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he’s singing a little
in there, I haven’t quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it’s nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don’t
weep, do
you?

Must see
Francesca Woodman’s untimely suicide at age 22 underscores her extensive body of work currently showing at the Guggenheim; the ghostly effects, the shabby interiors, the black and white nudity, both, raw and innocent, and most of all, an intimacy that manages to remain ambiguous. Great. Go see..

Self Portraits, Not
If Cindy Sherman was eligible for an Academy Award she could be included in every single nomination (except for ‘best sound’ maybe). Not for nothing did the MOMA clear a big wing on the 6th floor to showcase her work – in what is perhaps a more overwhelming retrospect than Cattelan’s recent spectacle at the Guggenheim. Not unlike many other contemporary artists, she uses the concept of appropriation to explore roles and typecasts in media and culture – but Sherman does it most successfully; recreating herself in a fluent manner achievable only by someone who is in control of every aspect of their work. After all, she does everything herself, from the make-up to the modeling, to all other technicalities - here is a photographer who has mastered the art of non-self portrait. Click here for more info on the exhibition.
