Memoirs of Björk-Geisha

Straight-up brilliant! I got to see Tina as Björk-Geisha at a different venue; wish I could have been there at the opening to also see Jennifer Parker as Matthew-Whaler. Suffice it to say it’s the only way I’d have gone anywhere near that temple of white-boy self-indulgence.

Make sure you go to Youtube to comment and rate the video, though, to boost their hits.

Drawing Complaint: Memoirs of Björk-Geisha

A Guerilla Performance by
Tina Takemoto and Jennifer Parker

At the Opening of the
Matthew Barney: Drawing Restraint Exhibition

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
June 21, 2006

Tina Takemoto (aka Björk-Geisha) and Jennifer Parker (aka Matthew-
Whaler) presented unsolicited performances of fan dancing, lip
synching, samurai whaling, and chopstick hara-kiri during the opening
of Matthew Barney's "Drawing Restraint" exhibition at the San Francisco
Museum of Modern Art in response to Drawing Restraint 9, a recent
film featuring Barney and Björk as "occidental visitors" on a
whaling ship in Japan.
