A MOST EXTRAORDINARY ARRIVAL IS IMMINENT

Let the bells ring. Let the heavens part. Let the city prepare itself.

Visionary outsider folk artist, international influencer, and provocateur of uncertain jurisdiction, CA$H COW, announces the forthcoming public action PENNIES FROM HEAVEN, a spectacular New York City intervention of uncertain consequence and potentially historic significance.

On Saturday, November 7, this most unconventional dignitary of the contemporary world shall make an appearance on the streets of Manhattan. The occasion calls for volunteer videographers and photographers to document the proceedings for posterity, or at the very least, for the internet.

THE GRAND ITINERARY

12 PM to 1 PM | 23rd Street
Beginning at First Avenue and proceeding west to Tenth Avenue.

1 PM to 2 PM | 14th Street
Beginning at Eleventh Avenue and proceeding east to Avenue A.

Members of the press, documentarians, image-makers, loyal subjects, curious bystanders, and all persons of sound or questionable judgment are cordially invited to attend.

Those wishing to secure a place in this momentous affair may DM here, send correspondence to artinoddplaces@gmail.com, or simply present themselves on the day, when history, spectacle, and the possibility of loose change shall converge upon the streets of New York.

No velvet rope. No papal bull. No guarantee of miracles.

CA$H COW IS COMING.
Govern yourselves accordingly.

I’m deeply honored to be recognized as a Queer Elder in this interview with Hyperallergic’s Editor-in-Chief, Hakim Bishara. I’m especially grateful for his extraordinarily kind and generous introduction.

Our interview reminded me that none of us arrive here alone. I’m indebted to the mentors and inspirations who expanded my imagination and challenged me to think, make, teach, and live more courageously.

With gratitude to the members of TABOO: Larry Jens Anderson, Michael Venezia, King Thackston, and David Fraley. To Linda Mary Montano, Bonnie Stein, William Pope L., Radhika Subramaniam, LuLu LoLo, Eddie Owens Martin (St. EOM), and Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovalles Morel Atrib for their generosity, wisdom, and example.

And to the artists and visionaries whose work continues to inspire me: Cleve Jones and the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt, Audre Lorde, Stephen Varble, Agosto Machado, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, David Wojnarowicz, Larry Levan, Lady Bunny, Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt, Edmund White, and so many more.

Thank you to everyone who has walked alongside me over the years, especially the artists, students, collaborators, friends, and communities who continue to remind me that art is ultimately about care, resistance, imagination, and one another.

I’m grateful to still be part of the conversation.

Traveling with friends Andrea and Vic today to one of my favorite secret respites from the electricity of New York City. Riding the East River ferry to Ferry Point Park in the Bronx, looking back at Manhattan, I found calm, healing, and my breath. If you live here = You gotta do it.

The dystopian and utopian city leaves its imprint on our internal psychogeography, shaping how we move through the world and understand ourselves. And oh shit, sometimes I need a little distance (like today) to see it clearly, to remember its beauty without being consumed by its energy.

My soul needed some shining light right now — a quiet holistic breath of clarity in a time of shaky uncertainty of these times. I am SO grateful for good friends, open water, and the simple pleasure of looking back to find my way forward.❣️ by @ed.woodham

An inspiring evening of conversation, reflection, and shared possibilities at Practicing Socially Engaged Public Art, presented by Korea Art Forum and SPCUNY and moderated by Gregory Sholette.

Created by one of my favorite heroic curators and public art producers, Heng Gil Han, the panel explored how socially engaged art creates space for dialogue, community, and imagining the world differently.

Thank you to panelists Nels Erickson, Martin Lucas, Sohhee Oh, Lucia Warck-Meister, Mashiyat Zaman, and Ricardo Miranda Zúñiga for sharing their experiences and insights into the possibilities and challenges of making art with and alongside communities.

Honored to be invited along with the squad. The evening continued with a wonderful gathering, dinner, and drinks at The Kunjip. Good conversation, good company, and people committed to making room for art and new possibilities.

It rained. It was windy. We showed up anyway. 🌧️🌆

Thank you to the artists who filled 14th Street with imagination and generosity, the volunteers who gave their day to this, the photographers who caught it all, and everyone who came out and brought the utopia with them.

Nothing stopped us. We were there. Together. That matters. 🖤

After weathering a weekend outside on 14th Street in the Nor’easter, it was time for my visiting dear nephew & his lovely boyfriend and I to spend a long day of well deserved recovery lounging at the Frick Collection. Very ying. Very yang.

We topped it off with lunch at their lavish cafe, Westmoreland. Yazzzz❣️
