i did this at the frieze fair once and got a mean look from the woman who was minding the stand. i told her that if she wanted to display a fgt she had to learn how to be generous.

For some reason I was reading the first gaythread I'd posted in — man I sound dumb.

hey tanuki, what new felix gonzales-torres piece is up at the AIC? i was there last week and didn't see anything besides his date piece which is up permanently.
the first time i saw someone use the abbreviation FGT i was sort of shocked because it was in reference to a piece i made (as in like, "x + fgt = this piece") and it took me a second to realize it didn't mean faggot
― 1staethyr, Tuesday, 7 February 2012 19:37 (twelve years ago) link
I can't find anything about it on the AIC website — it's a large panel divided in two with text painted on each one and ends with something like "close-up of an ejaculating dick".

I saw it a little over a year ago, again, and it brought back the feeling of the plague years quite vividly. Maybe only in people old enough, of course.
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Friday, 10 February 2012 19:56 (twelve years ago) link
aw, i like it. i think i liked the faux-doc part the best but i'd have to rewatch it to make sure

I'm just not getting the wooden acting and awful sets and ridic narrative motion
― tropical mall lady (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 10 February 2012 20:30 (twelve years ago) link
it's meta?
I guess someone's not getting a boner from the prison stuff... See if you spot a future star acting under a psedonym.
― Literal Facepalms (Dr Morbius), Friday, 10 February 2012 20:33 (twelve years ago) link
re: the sets, iirc he wasn't exactly rolling with a huge budget
― Prince Rebus (donna rouge), Friday, 10 February 2012 20:40 (twelve years ago) link
Oh the prison thing I am totally into fwiw. But wouldn't it have been cheaper to just, like, go find somewhere outside with lots of rocks and dirt? It's kinda Querellian
― tropical mall lady (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 10 February 2012 20:52 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, he was coming off a banned Barbie-doll film xp

OH OH Also I got season 3 of Mary Tyler Moore out of the library on a whim (I'd never really seen it before and always passed it over on Nick at Nite as a kid) and I am SO FUCKING IN LOVE W/ THIS SHOW, FUCK
― tropical mall lady (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 10 February 2012 20:57 (twelve years ago) link
Poison was his first feature iirc? The banned barbie film was his MFA thesis.

T/judith - was the FGT curtain up at sfmoma when you visited?
― sarahell, Friday, 10 February 2012 21:02 (twelve years ago) link
Me? No. This was in Chicago and San Francisco.
Although I may be in New York at the end of April.
― jaymc, Friday, 10 February 2012 21:07 (twelve years ago) link
but which stack and which pile?
― 1staethyr, Friday, 10 February 2012 21:12 (twelve years ago) link
I'm all right, jack / keep your hands offa my FGT stack
― tanuki, Friday, 10 February 2012 22:02 (twelve years ago) link
The pile was the Untitled (Portrait of Ross in L.A.) piece. I don't entirely remember what the stack-of-paper piece was. I gather he's done a few different ones. This was at SFMOMA in early 2004.
― jaymc, Friday, 10 February 2012 22:17 (twelve years ago) link
The pile was at the Art Institute of Chicago, probably around the same time.
― jaymc, Friday, 10 February 2012 22:18 (twelve years ago) link
i think the Sfmoma one in early 2004 was the same one that may or may not have been there when judith visited in 2010.
― sarahell, Friday, 10 February 2012 23:06 (twelve years ago) link
i have a mental catalogue of every fgt i have seen irl. sfmoma doesnt figure. poison is great. that sirk thing is the only haynes im eh abt. poison is hilarious and sad and thaemlitz samples it and hot in some of the prison bits.
