Journal

somewhere, in the midst of a sum, some parts. May 4, 2012

A woman enters the room, holding a pepper and begins to eat. The act exists somewhere between consuming and being consumed. A pair of eyes invite me in. Juice comes as a drip, a dribble, a stream; consecrating chin, shirt, skirt, floor, space.

It is impossibly red.

Language comes similarly. A drip/dribble/stream/scream. Her voice, ours, mine.

Rules morph and stakes change. I feel betrayed, first by a string of lights, then by a swatch of green, before remembering that in the beginning there were seeds and a stem.

receiving rouge.. a poetic response to Rouge performed by Julie Andrée T. May 4, 2012

 

receiving rouge

 

black & white it begins 

white rolls unrolled

on a black floor

stark a star without ambience

radiant off

 

the lights are submarines

dangling in space

no wings 

white tape winged out

little runways 

not straight

 

silver wires hung from heaven

kinkless shoots

a horizontal clothesline

a contrail cuts through

 

she julie arrives ado-less

silver & white almost stark not quite

Rouge: challenging and compelling May 4, 2012

    As it proceeds, Rouge develops a very strange stuck-in-your-ear quality, like a catchy song. A certain spoken phrase, for sure, will echo in the viewer's head, and possibly cause one to jolt and grin when hearing it spoken out there in the post-show world.

Curator's Note - Julie Andrée T. May 3, 2012

When Julie Andrée T. was 19 years-old and going through her “punk phase” she traveled to Vancouver BC for what is apparently a rite of passage for young Canadians. Eventually, she made her way south to Seattle for her first visit to our city. When there wasn’t room for her to sleep at the shelter, the person working the desk let her sleep in his car, which turned out to be way better than sleeping in the shelter the next night.
