Casey Curran's work is brilliant and amazing and pretty much the only thing I was interested in. Much as I love the work being done at the Frye, I think I need to be enlightened as to why these self indulgent SM acts are at the Frye. Exactly what are these people resisting by sitting in the cold and handling leeches?

It seemed like a garbled statement. The costumes and sculptures alone were quite eloquent though.

PEOPLE, PLEASE SEE THE SLOG ARCHIVE OF JEN'S FOR THE "I'M SORRY" (BY JEN) POST. FAR TOO HARD TO NOTICE FOR IT'S IMPORTANCE. HMMMMM

Your description of the performers here referencing the turgid and sweaty atmosphere in dressage makes them seem pretty observant. I remember spending the money for the famous Lipizzaner of the Spanish Riding School of Vienna. The show resulted into a kind of a shock to me. I had expected a kind of poetic beauty. I'm not very attracted to the motivations of the SPCA but their sentiment plays on something that moves most of us. The thing I noted in the Lipizzaner horses was the look in their eyes and their strange body jerks. The crowd saw it all as an amazing show but I detected these horses were full of anxiety, neurosis and fear, probably brought on by the way they are trained because of how difficult it is to get them to do what they do. The audience of the apparent spellbinding nature of the horses are so thrilled they missed the clear evidence of the roots of implied violence. I had the impression the horses needed quite a bit of Xanax but then they might fail at their task. Your artist performers here also probably do best off Xanax.
