Janet Kuypers reads "intro talk" at live show 07/17/07 #2

Janet Kuypers performs this piece, along with poems and prose during the July 17 2007 performance art show "Living in a Big World", live 07/17/07 at the Cafe (5115 North Lincoln Avenue, in Chicago, Illinois). The show contained poems and music from assorted musicins from Wisconsin, Ohio, Tennessee, New Mexico, and even Canada, as well as original sampled music, include the writings listed toward the bottom of this show explanation. But in this show, Janet Kuypers, because shw was exemplifying living in a big world (the title of the show), she drew a large chair, painted it onto a white canvas (which actually was a bunch of pieces of 8.5" x 11" paper stuck together) and attached it to a wooden base, so she could literally sit in a drawing of a large chair (it was 60" wide, actually). The visual display of the artwork projected onto a large paper screen for this show (which once again was actually a bunch of pieces of 8.5" x 11" paper stuck together)was a drawn TV, and inside the TV a bunch of Janet Kuypers photographs from around the world was shown in this "drawn" TV.

It was just pulled, but tiffanyboobskitten wrote that "She is a talented and creative dancer/singer and she realy inspires me and i wont to be just like her!=)", and although this particular video doesn't have her singing or anything (those videos already exist), iot is nice to see that someone else likes her.

Because these pieces seem strange when they are all separated like this, but it makes more sense when you see it all thought in the full show.
