“To Push Away Or Clutch” — Spoken Word by Clint Catalyst
ART ALERT!
No, I don’t hit every line in the prose-poem verbatim.
Yes, I wrote it. It’s ancient history, actually…but I chose the piece as a ’sampling of my wares’–so to speak–because it’s self-contained and just under the 10 minute mark.
BACKGROUND INFO: this monologue was filmed on the day that basically determined whether or not I’d have a sample of my art hanging in the Andy Warhol museum. By “hanging,” I mean via 50 inch flat-screen monitor and en sound system with my monologue on endless repeat (entering the room on ‘Opening Night’ and hearing my far-from-soothing voice bouncing around the pristine white walls? SURREAL… and something I’m still processing.)
That Once-In-A-Lifetime pressure +
5 1/2 single-spaced pages of text?
I’m just glad I pulled it off…
And of course, exponentially more grateful to glenn kaino for including me as one of his “Uberstars” in the 8-year retrospective of his sculpture/photography in the reknown Andy Warhol museum in Pittsburgh!
I’ll be servin’ Catalottalisp from May 3 - August 31st, 2008 thanks to Mr. kaino and the curators’ hospitality.
This clip would not exist without the camera skills of Nhat Nguyen and editing prowess of Diego Garza.
Effing PROPS, all y’all!
