Nick cheered me up a bit by giving me these two Guerrilla Girls postcards he got from the Tate when he was there earlier this year. He knows me so well.

Experienced Nina Arsenault’s 40 Days, 40 Nights: Towards a Spiritual Experience performance installation tonight. She and I did The Artist is Present for quite some time. It was incredible.
The performance installation is intense, disturbing, captivating, and breathtaking. I am so inspired by her and her work, which continues to grow in emotional depth and quality.
Nina Arsenault is truly one of the most talented artists in Canada.
If you have the chance to see this performance installation, go see it! It’s on every night this week from 9 pm - 5 am at 1095 Queen St W, and it’s free.

In life, I believe in being civilized and not committing acts of social violence to others – including discrimination, exclusion, and even gossip. I believe in nurturing others unfolding, whatever form that might take. But, for me, good art, like good sex is not “nice.” Art and theatre should be the forum where we, as women, as queers, and as people, are revealed to be mythic. Our lives and our emotional landscapes are expansive, contradictory and sadomasochistic. If you want things to be casual and polite, you can stay at home and watch a sit com.Nina Arsenault, interview with sexlifecanada.ca (2012)
