The Art of Spying and Panties
Don’t tell me you’ve never spied on your boyfriend before. We’ve all done it: hiding out in his trash can with a tiny camera, swigging MD 20/20 while watching to see if he arrives home alone (confirming he really was working late) or with some tart he picked up in a fern bar. And then, jumping out, yelling and screaming, spewing pepper spray in all directions after you discover the trash can is full of ugly, biting ants.
Artist Laurie Long takes a somewhat different approach to the idea of dating surveillance. Girl Power!, her new exhibition at the San Jose Museum of Art focuses on various aspects of female identity and society.
Her “Dating Surveillance Project,” for example, is “based on her belief that the process of dating is similar to a spy mission.” The “Artist Panty Vending Machine” focuses on “the nature of celebrity and the perception that clothing retains an aura from its wearer.” (Scientific proof that guys who buy celebrity underwear off eBay are not kooks.) And, of course, she also created the “Live Action Painting Bra” installation, which sounds self-explanatory.
