One Second Cameo in New Music Video by The National
March 14th, 2011I have a one second cameo in The National’s new music video for the song “Conversation 16″ directed by Scott Jacobson, who is also a writer for the new show Bob’s Burgers!
This has prompted me to add a music video cameo section to this website.
Four Windows by Ry Russo-Young for DKNY Intimates
February 27th, 2011So, I’m in a web-commercial for DKNY Intimates. Ry Russo-Young shot me and three other young women in their apartments. Here I am climbing the water tower on my roof. It was scary, in very high heels. In the fourth video still I am playing guitar in my living room but “they”,”dressed” it with their own blankets and put all my parents’ cook books which were neatly shelved in stacks on the ground so it might as well be someone else’s apartment. Oh well. I am wearing all jewelry I made, and my song “Untitled” is the soundtrack.
Watch the video at Refinery29.
Me in Harper’s Bazaar, Japan – October 2010
September 9th, 2010I don’t know what this says yet (or what I’m quoted as saying!) but will find out soon…I am wearing a Proenza Schouler dress and my own IMK Jewelry Suspension Necklace. And below is a crazy sexy photo of my friend Lily Kwong who suggested me for this.
Music Video Cameos
December 19th, 2008I recently had two little cameos in friends’ music videos.
Stayin’ Alive Remix – Directed by Matthew Frost
Good Review at The Guggenheim…
November 3rd, 2008Last week I took part in a collaborative art installation/performance by the artist Dominique Gonzalez Foerster and the composer Ari Benjamin Meyer at The Solomon R. Guggenheim. Nicolas Ghesquière of Balenciaga custom-made our dresses and I had to take mine off on-stage. Being part of the rehearsals and watching the final pieces of this work come together I had no idea how it would come off to the audience.
Among other things: I and three other young women simultaneously played different children’s computer games as an improvisational music ensemble. I derobed and took a shower with a man. The Staten Island Richmond County Orchestra played part of Beethoven’s 6th. Someone cooked mushrooms. Old people sang old songs like Row Row Row Your Boat.
Most of my family and friends hated the work, offering feedback such as “Awful, just awful” and “…audience victimization.”
I still don’t know what I would think if I had walked in off the street to watch this but I do feel good about Roberta Smith’s New York Times review.
I am the “young woman” Roberta Smith refers to here, in the opening of her review:
A few minutes into “NY. 2022,” a performance piece at the Guggenheim Museum last Friday night, a young man and woman stripped naked, stepped into a frosted-glass shower stall and started pouring water on each other. As if on cue, two audience members got up and left the museum’s theater, huffily.
