HEAD OVER HEELS: SHARKY'S FIRST LOVE
January 22, 2011, 8-11pm

Sharky fell in love. Sharky fell in love first. Sharky collected. We arranged his collection because it was prettier. Was it prettier because it was first?

We’re not too shy to wait for the party, or for our date to arrive. And if you waited with us—how would you? And for whom? We hope to circumnavigate our favorite certainties about contemporary ritual (i.e. prom), obsession (i.e. celebrities), exhibition (i.e. prom), performance (i.e. prom), persona (i.e. celebrities), and celebrities (i.e. prom). Head Over Heels: Sharky’s First Love is an unfixed meditation on tenderness and the gaze of desire, as well as an invitation to alter that gaze through duration.

Amelia Colette Jones and Maggie Ginestra, co-facilitators of Sloup, St. Louis's soup dinner for the arts, are in love with how Sharky loves. You might even say they are head over heels. Amelia used to work with Sharky. Maggie rode a train with him to Chicago once.
