omega

Just got my invite from Brett Brevell at Omega for two weeks as artist in residence at Omega and realized that mid month, the ides, are apparently a power time for me. I first noticed this when I moved back to New York from Los Angeles. And not only the ides, but something about March specifically beginning a power time. Although I have to say that mid February is not feeling so positive, or powerful.
When are your power times? Of week? Month? And year?
Larry and I will be heading for LA the first week of March and back on the 13th. The following month is the Exit Art prayingproject and Omega comes mid May, giving me good things to look forward to, as I sit here on a really cold day bemoaning the enclosure of the office, but not really wanting to tread outside.
I have spent the last week or so agonizing about my final proposal for the prayingproject. Rethinking my original desire to chant, having an augury midweek, midchant that art is my soul song, not song. Thinking perhaps to play my flute soul song as an opening of the ritual and a closing. Just plain being all over the map with it all. Trying desperately to just simplify. And wondering why I torture myself so.
Do all artists drive themselves mad this way? I remember being a gallery director in LA and thinking a few of the artists were way overthinking their exhibitions. Even now as a corporate writer, I see people over thinking things all the time. And I guess I do the same thing.
