Maxi Kim interviews Chris Kraus/Chris Kraus interviews Maxi Kim in 3:AM Magazine: “I’d like people to treat North Korea as many did with New York after 9/11 … all those imaginary blueprints and plans for rebuilding the World Trade Center. And you saw the same thing after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans: all those plans about how to rebuild schools in very modern and interesting ways. And hopefully non-Koreans will contribute in creating plans –” (MK).

From Another Righteous Transfer (documenting LA’s performance art scene):  “There is also a sense that we are living in an age when we are surrounded by a vast surplus of text, and the job of the writer now is not to produce more text, but rather to mediate the vast quantity that already exists in order to uncover fresh perspectives and/or hidden meanings.”

In “Stranger Friends” on DAILY SERVING Catherine Wagley writes about Divya Victor’s Hellocast and Feral Cat Attack performance at LACE:  “Victor’s voice read Holocaust by Reznikoff as seven performers transcribed what she said into Hello Kitty outlines on the wall, often on top of the big, already present kitty. These performers occasionally pulled audience members up and gave them their own Hello Kitty to write in, which resulted in a crowded and quickly filling wall. Victor kept reminding everyone present that the words she read were not Reznikoff’s when they became hers, and that they were not hers when they became the transcriber’s, and that they were not the transcriber’s when they became the audience’s. In other words, the Holocaust/Hellocasts belonged to none of us and all of us.”

Report from Kick-Off Event: Function: Party Crasher: “Approaching the LACE (Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions) gallery, I noticed that a man dressed as Superman was hanging outside on the sidewalk, talking to people. There was also a man in a two-piece suit running on a treadmill, painting oil portraits. I didn’t blink twice. I mean, this is Hollywood, weirder things have happened. And this kind of welcome definitely boded well for an interesting evening.”
