Visual Art Art Tonight

Posted by Jen Graves on Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 1:16 PM

20b1/1247170394-art_news.jpg The TM Sisters—two biological sisters (Monica and Tasha López De Victoria; that's Monica on the cover of Artnews in September 2007), ages 28 and 26, who live in Miami and have taken the art world by storm—are performing live tonight from 7-10 pm at the Lee Center (Seattle U) with Extreme Animals and Hooliganship. It's the kickoff party for their three-month long exhibition of interactive video installations (including dance pads, I've heard?) at the center's gallery.

I am not going to pretend to know or understand the TM Sisters; what they do melds video, performance, video games, and I'm sure plenty else. (Their web site is here.) I've never seen their work before. So I am all eyes, ears, and feet. See you there.

Go here to watch a 2007 piece they did at New York's Performa festival. Although what they're doing is very different, it makes me believe they're the kind of artists who could not exist without Wynne Greenwood. Maybe the Genius will be in the house.

i do not like hooliganship. lots of pretty colors but zero meaning or content. basically, ad agency dudes trying to make art but having no ideas, nothing to say, nothing to contribute to the discourse because they live in a fake world, helping corporations fuck up the planet.

i never would've thought anyone could connect hooliganship to destroying the planet but there it is. hahaha

"...it makes me believe they're the kind of artists who could not exist without Wynne Greenwood." Really? "Maybe the Genius will be in the house." Gratuitous.
