An artist in the neighborhood.
12Mar09
The Times wrote a story about Tehching Hsieh recently, and now I’ve decided i must find him. He lives in Clinton Hill! And he has an incredible story. Considering how few Asians live in the neighborhood, I’m hoping I’ll spot him one day.
In the meantime, I should make my way to the Guggenheim for their exhibit The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia 1860-1989 to see his time-clock piece. The MoMA is currently showing documentation from the year Hsieh spent living in a cage.
This man filmed himself jumping from a second story window onto the sidewalk and breaking both his ankles. I want to know him.
