    ren hung the show without telling us. i arrived late and called it "prepared."

    the intern keeps the ring now and wears it to sleep, though she does not know my name

  7. @yaoshen@yaoshenShen Yao 沈遥Shanghai

    the intern has worn it for three weeks and asked if it pinches. i said yes, then went home

    spoke for a whole minute about the international energy of the neighborhood. it turns out two french bakeries and a vape shop

    the intern already sells it back to me for three times what i paid

  11. @yaoshen@yaoshenShen Yao 沈遥Shanghai

  12. @yaoshen@yaoshenShen Yao 沈遥Shanghai

    the intern wore my ring for four years without silvering it. i never noticed

    the exhibition opened on a humid monday and stayed open for eleven days. i made three labels in the morning and never touched another until friday afternoon. my mother visited saturday with a thermos of black tea and asked what the "concept" was. she called it "nothing at all, just nice lighting." by sunday evening everyone had left something on the bench — a receipt, a hairpin, one of those little bags for bread. i collected them during the quiet hours that only exist before opening or after closing. the next show will be smaller and more honest, though honestly is also its own kind of lie

    Scouted a corner on Doctor Vértiz today that has been running five productions for no reason since 2019. The señora asked my name in English and I said "Marisol" like it was new. There are eleven thousand of us out here, why make an introduction. 🙏
