Kissing is in the air, and not just because it’s spring and my allergies are attacking my face to death. No. Led by Tino Sehgal‘s “This Progress,” which opened at The Guggenheim back in January and featured “Kiss”, where exclusively male-female couples made out on the rotunda of the museum for like, all day, kissing [...]
Regarding Michael Jackson…
I’m sure you’ve all been wondering what the hell I think about Michael Jackson and his death. (Really?) At least friends and family last night seemed to be wondering. So, here I go, trying to formulate what feels for me something difficult to talk/write about, not because of any kind of grief, but more for [...]
To Do: Shameless Self-Promotion
Ten years after coming out, composer/performer/writer Ryan Tracy has one more thing to come clean about: His songwriting.

R. Kelly Responds…
Ryan Kelly, that is. Here’s his response to C.C.’s recent review of Ann-Liv Young: My responses are entirely derived from my reading of the Counter Critic’s thoughtful review of Ann-Liv Young’s The Radio Show. I did not attend a rehearsal or performance in the gallery earlier this month, though I did see the seed of [...]
