Vincent Gagliostro & Susan Shup at Slick Art Fair 08

This is a big art weekend with four major fairs all over the city including FIAC, Show Off, Slick, and Diva. My partner Vincent Gagliostro and artist Susan Shup (Susan was my Parisian of the Month in March) have collaborated on a very special video installation for the slick fair. It’s called “In a Blonde Haze/My Love for Boys” and it is based on a line from Cocteau's LE LIVRE BLANC, “as far back as I can remember and even at the age when the mind still has no power over the senses, I find traces of my love for boys”. Below is a link for a clip from this fun and hypnotic video.
