what impresses me most, is how you gently eased this guy into your mindset. he's obviously intelligent or it would have never gotten past the first email exchange, but you didn't just let him stay on his side, the safe side, no you cajoled him into experimenting with the idea (a first step, in my view). And thru your own wit and intelligence and gentle nature, persuaded him that what he was repulsed by was inside himself. many of my socalled enlightened friends couldn't do that. It's a special gift. and I applaud you for it.

i think that's a part of the performance...so it is a part of my job as an artist. what most people think of as THE PERFORMANCE is in reality a middle part of the actual performance. yes, chuck offers a rare opportunity to directly explore the dynamics, the issues, etc. hopefully he will write back and continue the dialog. most people don't. after the dec. l.a. performance, the people who run the gallery wrote that the piece was "liberating" [a positive] but "polarizing" [which obviously wasn't what they wanted!]. but when i asked "which poles?"...trying to get a deeper picture of what they were talking about [for both them and me]....they didn't write back! chuck has a certain innocence.
