The Fishbowl Carnival: Glenn Kaino & Ryan Majestic @ the Slipper Room

November 20, 2009 – 1:30 pm

Glenn Kaino and Ryan Majestic’s HONOR ANOMG THIEVES, 2009, photograph by Meghan McInnis, courtesy Creative Time. In my opinion, the true test of a good magic trick is that after it’s performed, you don’t want to know how it’s done. Questions about magic tricks are like money—it’s a good feeling to have them jingling contentedly in your pocket. When I went to watch the Glenn Kaino/Ryan Majestic magic show at the Slipper Room the other night, I really didn’t have a clue what I was in for.

Alexandre Singh’s “The Alkahest,” Omer Fast’s “Talk Show,” Shana Moulton’s “Erratic Anthropologies,” and Tan Lin’s “Chalk Playground”/”LitTwitChalk” On Monday, November 9th, I attended the first of four performances by Alexandre Singh at White Columns gallery in the West Village. When I arrived chairs were arranged in a circle in the gallery, facing an overhead projector. As the performance began the lights went off and the audience could hear a voice starting to tell a story.
