The Abracadada Egg-Beater Museum

Another archival gem from the vaults! In the mid '80's I had the pleasure of illustrating rubber stamp designs for the Abracadada Rubber Stamp Company (Stamp Francisco). The company was owned and run by William Gaglione and his lovely wife Darlene, both who also happened to be the founders of the Bay Area Dadaists and major performance artists with a rich history of Dada / Performance art in San Francisco (I would later join the Bay Area Dadaists and wreak some DADA havoc, but that's another video series).
Darlene is also a collector and archiver of everything Egg-Beaters (one of only 9 known collectors in the US), and her kitchen walls attest to that. From the first production egg-beater to a solid collection of child's play beaters, they are all represented here in all their one and two bladed glory! Join Darlene as she takes a break from the rubber stamp business to give us the full 3-egg tour of the 'beater collection....

This was shot for a video class around 1986 and was part of a series I did called 'OBSESSIONS OF HABIT'. This segment followed her husband William Gaglione in his unique Rubber Stamp Museum (also posted here on YouTube).

Also part of this archived series is a collector of Barbie Dolls and a guy who was building a ship in his backyard - all to be uploaded soon. Enjoy.
