Grandi mostre. Nella prestigiosa galleria Nicodim di Los Angeles va in scena (fino al 22 luglio) la collettiva “Immaculate Heart of Margaritaville”, l’ultimo piano dell’ala romantica dell’incubo capitalista, un sogno di febbre che si manifesta durante un sonnellino di mezzogiorno su un letto di unghie con punta di ashwagandha con un gruppo internazionale di artisti estatici, onesti e sinceri, molti dei quali non hanno mai esposto prima negli Stati Uniti.

Dalla preghiera, speranza, comunicato stampa:
A prayer for my four-to-six nuclear families, for my ever-expanding universe of friends and lovers, for consciousnesses that may or may not exist beyond our postmodern El Dorados and Shangri-Las where dead dreams go to die twice:
May this sea moss gel cool the fire within in me that burns with unfiltered desire for epiphany in a pornographic desert;
May we all find a Six Flags for our unmet oral and spiritual needs;
May we all discover a Cartier diamond bracelet in the Bloomin’ Onion we snuck into the hot yoga session at the Cheesecake Factory;
May we all find comfort within our own place in Margaritaville—that sacred temple, that archetype for a freedom that exists somewhere between legitimacy and artifice that urges us to leave behind the very sacred temple that is selling us the dream to leave it all behind;
May we all attend the vernissage for Immaculate Heart of Margaritaville and bask in the ordinary magic, this orgy of authenticity buried in the most profane of structures.
