Plan Ahead

I have no idea if I'll be able to make this opening, but, god, I really, really want to. Cory Marc -- who needed me to make some changes to his Website again, which is the only time he calls me -- and I were looking at the Seattle Erotic Art Festival site (which show Cory got into and I did not, so he gets to put on latex pants and hang out with the freaks and weirdos while I have to stay home in my basement). Among the truly crappy stuff on display he pointed out the work of John John Jesse. His Website -- which is pretty cool, even if it's Flash -- has a link to a non-existent page on Madeline von Foerster, but I found her new site through Google. Turns out a) her paintings look like the most awesome objects on the planet and b) her opening at Fuse Gallery is this weekend.

Also at Fuse at the same time is Melissa Murray, whose paintings look good but disturbing. Or is that good and disturbing?
