Moving To Philadelphia

This week shout-outs and mad props are given to Deborah Hay, Jonathan Richman, Jerome Bel, Pina Bausch, Lou Reed, and Annie Wilson, all in relation to Meg Foley’s project Action is Primary, currently on view at the Icebox Project Space in North Philadelphia. Cynthia and Jeff attempt to describe what is so fascinating and inspiring about Foley’s work, and why by contrast “dancer face” is not so interesting. Also our first-ever hate mail is read aloud, and Cynthia in turn allows herself a brief tirade against cultural criticism in general. To balance out the negativity with humor, we present not one but two jokes of the week. Jeff’s visit to the West Philadelphia tool library is described, and Cynthia bravely attempts to apply Foley’s techniques to an improvised song, vaguely in honor of the audience.
