Today is the last day to see Barbara Hammer's work @amp_artmktptown along with other amazing artists: Katrina Del Mar, Lola Flash, Michelle Handelman, Brydie O'Conner, Alice O'Malley, Pat Place, Lynne Sachs, Gail Thacker and Suara Welitoff. The images are details of Barbara's work. Image 1 and 3 are from her sketchbook drawings from the early 70s, image 2 is a Polaroid. Barbara's combination of seriousness, expressiveness and wit always strikes me. @barbarahammer1 #barbarahammer #ampgallery #provincetown @katrinadelmar @flash9 @michellehandelman @brydieoconnor @alleyomalley11 @pataroid @patplace1 @lynnesachs1 @suara.welitoff (at Provincetown, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfHa3MFlId1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

‘Show and Tell’ Performance
For the opening of the group show 'The form is stone, the dress is rain' on September 22, 2017, at Art Market Provincetown, I was invited by curator Rafael Sánchez to perform this visual poem, which I wrote to accompany my drawings on a Magic Mirror notebook. The show featured work by Robert Appleton, Dietmar Busse, Elisabeth Kley, Hapi Phace, Gail Thacker, Rafael Sánchez, Conrad Ventur, and Kathleen White. Magic Mirror is a drawing collective based around drawing sessions in Joel Handorff's East Village apartment. You can read more about the opening by clicking HERE.

The form is stone, the dress is rain at AMP Gallery, Provincetown
Connection abounds….
Last winter, I had presented a performance titled Show and Tell at Gail’s Gene Frankel Theatre fundraiser, which led to Rafael and I engaging in a conversation about symbols—a point of convergence in our work.
For the performance, I had used one of the Magic Mirror notebooks we use for drawing at Joel’s. In this particular one, I had made a series of 33 drawings using Posca markers Bubi gave me. The drawings represent memories of my childhood and metaphysical musings. Some of them nod to Bubi’s Hologram video, in which I play a character called “Lord”.
For Show and Tell, as I flipped through those drawings, I recited the lines of a poem I wrote specifically for the performance, this after singing a few lines from Sara Montiel’s “Maniquí parisien”. Rafael, who had also participated in the Gene Frankel fundraiser by reading a poem, asked me if I would like to do the performance in a show he was organizing in Provincetown.
I told him I would be honored to do so. Rafael explained to me the idea for the show stemmed from conversations he and Hapi Phace had about rocks, and also talked about how Kathleen would use pentagram lines to write series of cryptograms. I remember the first time I had seen Kathleen’s work was at Wild Project in February 2016—I was drawn to her pieces because of her use of symbols and typewriter keys to create iconographs, all of it very dear to me….
The title of the show, “The form is stone/the dress is rain”, is a line from a poem by May Swenson, hailed poet of the 20th century who would write in an iconographic style. Artist friends, poetry, iconography—it all started coming together. Rafael mentioned I could also show a portrait I drew of Gail on New Year’s Day at Joel’s...he was also there that night and remembered it. I loved the idea of showing a drawing from our dear Magic Mirror circle.
I was so thrilled to be in such great company…the show would also include works by Kathleen White, Robert Appleton, Dietmar Busse, Elisabeth Kley, Hapi Phace, Rafael Sánchez, Gail Thacker and Conrad Ventur…all artists whom I admire tremendously. I was also elated to be in a show that would also be Hapi’s first gallery exhibition since 1986, when he exhibited at Edgar Oliver’s Pompeii Gallery in the East Village. What a thrill to get to know him better, really a full circle of dreams coming true as when I first moved to New York in 1987, my favorite thing in the world was the Whispers drag nights at the Pyramid, where I was especially fond of Hapi’s freewheeling, perfectly-cadenced and dazzlingly imaginative MCing.
A couple of weeks before the show, Scooter had sent me a photo of a pair of Dutch klomps he had painted, and I thought I would give him the ones Mom and Dad bought during a trip to Volendam, Holland, in 1978. He mentioned I should give them a coat of gesso, which my roommate Michael prepared and strained for me and I then applied lovingly to the shoes. Rafael stopped by the ranch and saw how the shoes looked—to me, they are like bisque porcelain—and mentioned we should take them to the show. Every time I saw how they now looked, I was in awe of the sense of something so familiar being transformed into an archetype. The unfinished piece was suddenly finished.
So there they were…the klomps, the drawing of Gail, the performance notebook hanging on the wall from a dowel—across from one of Kathleen’s late notebooks 2012-2013—all the objects coming together, morphing into something new.
Dietmar and I, on the suggestion of Gene Fedorko, made arrangements to stay overnight with Ms. Meade, who was most kind and welcomed us in her guest apartment. Later on, we found out while visiting that the converted garage we stayed in was used by Yves Klein as a studio! We had bought tickets to go to Boston on the Megabus to then connect with the ferry to Provincetown, but on our travel day, which was the day of the opening, September 22, hurricane José was whirling in the Atlantic near the area and so we knew beforehand we would have to take a bus provided by the Bay State Cruise Company.
We got to the Megabus terminal at 7:15 a.m., grabbed a bite at a deli and got on the bus. The bus got delayed and we got to Boston at 1:18 instead of 12:30. So, we missed our bus connection and stopped at the South Street Diner and had shrimp and chips.
An Uber took us to the ferry terminal, and we had to wait an hour for the next bus out, which was at 5 p.m. We waited at a Dunkin Donuts as the vernal equinox happened, to the tune of songs by Katy Perry and Selena Gómez being piped in. Dietmar did some drawings while I did some writing.
Back on the bus, we knew we were going to arrive close to 9…the climate was windy, gray and blustery…and the clock ticked on. We called Miss Meade and told her our whereabouts; she offered to pick us up at the ferry terminal. I was also in touch with Rafael to let him know where we were on the road, people were at the opening waiting for the performance. Something inside of me told me we would get there in the nick of time.
As we passed Shrewsbury, I started getting ready for the performance. To me, it had already started right there, on the bus. We got to the terminal and looked for Miss Meade, who dropped us off at the entrance of the AMP Gallery at 8:50—the opening would be over at 9. Dietmar and I walked in; I greeted Rafael and he almost jumped out of the sofa. We had been talking on the phone, braving an intermittent phone signal to figure out an ETA.
I said hello to Hapi, Tony Stinkmetal and Bobby Miller and checked in with gallerist Debbie Nadolney. She mentioned Louis, a benefactor who had arrived from Amherst, was going to take us out to dinner at The Muse and the reservation was about to run out.
I put my bag down and got ready. Rafael introduced me and I grabbed the notebook from the wall and did the performance; Bobby videoed.
Much excitement abounded after the suspense of the performance to arrive, I caught my breath and we all headed on to The Muse. Tony was commenting how he had found the performance inspirational; I was so grateful for this. It was a dreamlike meal.
After dinner, Dietmar went with Bobby in his car to be dropped off at Miss Meade’s. Hapi and Tony called it a night and Rafael and I walked around Commercial Street for a while, reeling with happiness. We went to listen to Scream Along with Billy at the amazing basement Grotta Bar doing an astounding concert of Brian Eno covers. We stopped in front of a store called Kmoe and took a selfie; the store was full of amazing industrial lamps and we took more photos. We stood in the parking lot and called Gail, who was in Grand Central Terminal back in New York…hearts jumping with joy.
We stood by the water near the parking lot and listened to the wind and saw the distant lights of nearby towns through the fog.
Rafael drove me back to Miss Meade’s and I lay down to sleep. The next day Bobby would take our portraits! Hooray! (Dietmar took my photo next to Klumpen and in front of Rafael’s The Story of the 1st Painting (part one, number one) at the gallery. I was wearing a Jim Teeny Shadow-Camo shirt, Wrangler jeans, and Ferragamo boat shoes.)
As Rafael put it later on Facebook, it was a magical night:
Thank you, the universe, the artists, everyone that helped make this a reality and all who supported our efforts. We set up and opened through the horizontal rain of tropical storm José. The opening settled upon a perfectly misty, New England fog. Meanwhile, ferries were suspended for two days due to the choppy waters as the provided shuttle bus lumbered up the cape with Dietmar and Jorge Clar just in time for Jorge to inaugurate the show with his stunning visual poem! It was amazing. And if that wasn't enough, an unassuming patron arrived miraculously out of the foggy night to toast us and take us all out to dinner by the sea. The following day renowned photographer Bobby Miller further inaugurated the event with beautiful studio portraits of the artists that were able to attend; Hapi, Tony, Dietmar and of course Jorge marking the proceedings with a truly regal quality. Sun came on Sunday in time for a swim in the ocean, my first and probably last for the year. I feel humbled and blessed. I've not posted anything here since leaving NYC last week. Happy Fall everyone, Cape Cod is extraordinary this time of year. Exhibition continues through October 15.
