The Make It Happen team officially announces its next iteration: We will be holding Office Hours at the Lost Horizon Night Market on the evening of Saturday May 8, 2010. The Lost Horizon Night Market is an evening of brilliant and strange things that occurs periodically in an undisclosed location.
Please email the Make It Happen facilitators and we will inform you of the time and location.
Extremely special commemorative talismanic objects will be provided to any and all former Make It Happen clients who joins us on May 8.
Please enjoy this beautiful video, made by Joao Leonardo, of a 1965 letter written by Sol LeWitt to Eva Hesse, exhorting her to Make It Happen. The first time I saw it was at dusk, facing out of a gallery window in Chelsea. It was intense, although I experienced it without the music, which frankly I’m not so crazy about.
The text reads in part: “You seem the same as always, and being you, hate every minute of it. Don’t. Learn to say “Fuck You” to the world once in a while. You have every right to. Just stop thinking, worrying, looking over your shoulder, wondering, doubting, fearing, hurting, hoping for some easy way out, struggling, gasping, confusing, itching, scratching, mumbling, bumbling, grumbling, humbling, stumbling, rumbling, rambling, gambling, tumbling, scumbling, scrambling, hitching, hatching, bitching, moaning, groaning, honing, boning, horse-shitting, hair-splitting, nit-picking, piss-trickling, nose-sticking, ass-gouging, eyeball- poking, finger-pointing, alleyway-sneaking, long waiting, small stepping, evil-eying, back- scratching, searching, perching, besmirching, grinding, grinding, grinding away at yourself. Stop it and just DO”
