Janet Kuypers reads "intro talk" at live show 07/17/07 #1

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.

Though the comments were pulled, filthyvivian wropte that "She is a bit unusual. but, that is why i like her." and of COURSE she is unusual (are performance artists boring?). And it was cool that payneshane7015 wrote "I really enjoyed watching this one!!!"

It's strange, even cool comments have been pulled from the comments section at these ccandd96 videos.

I think youtube cut off my response beofre... but if people want to see that Poetry Gae Show video info (or this show info, even) they can see it at the Janet Kuypers web site, or at Scars Publications (look them up on Google, since YouTube cuts of web links in comments) to see more info about these shows, Kiki.

belindamecute wrote that "Interesting pic.˛ˇ I've only seen her with the frost-blond wig." and thats because they have only checked out the Kuypers 2009 poetry/performance art show videos from "the 2009 Poetry Game Show," where Kuypers wore a punk platnum and black wig during the show.

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.
