documentation of endurance piece

My endurance piece turned out to not be as hard as I had thought it would be. I also did not end up covering up as much of my body as I had hoped to, only managing to reach my knee on one leg.

I realized while talking to people who came by the Moka Joka that the pattern I had decided on was inspired by a piece I had seen earlier this

year at the MoMA by Gabriel Orozco. The piece was a skull on which he had meticulously drawn a checkerboard pattern in graphite. I had had a long discussion with some one at the museum about it. We talked about whether or not Orozco could really escape being a niche artist when he did a piece like this, the skull being very iconographic of Mexican art. In the end I wish I had though more about this before doing the piece because I may have been able to think more deeply about the reasons for it. Maybe I was drawing on theses diamonds to recreate in miniature the six month long effort of Orozco, or maybe I was revisiting my childhood when I would cover my legs and arms in marker patterns.

For my endurance piece I will sit in Moka Joka from 12:30 until 6:30 on Tuesday drawing a half-inch diamond pattern over as much of my exposed flesh as I have time. I will be wearing shorts and a tank top. I will work up, beginning with the tops of my feet, excluding the bottoms of my feet and palms of my hands. I will have to endure the feeling of pen on my skin and being cold for 6 hours.

A Personal Record of Time

I documented time through a piece of gum i began to chew after foundations.

Garrett gives me a piece of gum after i finish eating lunch, it has a lot of flavor, kind of minty and fruity i go to harder to work on my color wheel

while painting my third yellow section my jaw hurts and my gum has lost its flavor

my jaw is feeling heavy while i mix the second tint for orange

really want to throw out gum now, jaw tired, tastes bad, painting yellow-orange

took gum out to eat nutterbutter, chewing gum made me hungry

left gum on piece of wrapper for safe keeping

forgot about gum

sam almost puts elbow on forgotten gum, finishing up yellow shades

put everything away in locker, find gum, throw out, go to dinner
