Canadian superstar Rodney Graham joins us. Duncan, Meg and Richard talk to the man that turned driving around on your bicycle on acid in to an art form. I was genius at 18 and I had no idea!!! Jeepers.
Next, Mike Benedetto reviews a touching and timely story of our nation in conflict. I cried through the whole 30 seconds (plus bonus seconds)
THEN, We talk to members of the Polvo team, Elvia Rodriguez-Ochoa and Miguel Cortez (who didn’t really say anything but was there none-the-less). They give us the scoop on Polvo, Pilsen and why their space is so damn cool.
Watch this space: Bad at Sports will soon be declaring complete and utter war on a local institution. Not to be missed.

Rodney Graham people! Canadian Superstar!!! Duncan nearly wet himself with excitement.
Also, war is brewing…
Fuck Yeah.
any thoughts, predictions or possible explanations as to what institution will feel the wrath of BAS as mentioned on the blurb for show 76??
There are so many that deserve the wrath of bad at sports.
Critics?
Galleries??
An Artist???
they don’t seem to go after individuals generally and are seemingly not a mean spirited bunch (I mean c’mon one of them is from Canada), so I am intrested to see who they are declaring war on.
So did Duncan go and get a haircut? We want pictures.
yeah me too. who’s gonna get it fellas?
Personally, I want you to get Dubya to mount and attack on Switzerland. If he knows where it is. And search for Chocolates of Mass Destruction.
Is BAS mounting a war on the dude that is sueing them?
Mark-I doubt Dubya knows where Switzerland is. I’m not sure where it is. Good old American educational system.
Mike- Why no comment on the super graphic puppet on puppet sex action? Even more graphic on DVD. Mmmmm, puppet action. I’m thinking about Kermit and Ms. Piggy…
If Rodney Graham is famous for riding his bike on LSD, Richard can become more famous-er by driving his truck on LSD while doing the intro/outro.
Who says I wasn’t!
Holy Sh*t has the discussion here gotten boring. Rodney Graham, who saw this show???
I think his stuff is funny, but I have a really hard time thinking it is important, it seems like watered down, fluffy fluxus work.
Bowl Shack
BalZie — I met Graham persoanlly here a couple of times, saw all his work practically up till then . He is a nice guy. High cost productions. But I agree totally with your summation. Seems like cotton-candy versions of Fluxus. Exactly what the Video art curators want.
(Oh my gosh, I’m not only being civil, but I agree completely with you. Oops.)
Creepy.
I will give Graham credit though, he seems to be having a swell time and my BS detector might be trumped by my loathing of all things angst. So who am I to pee in his cornflakes, good for him!
dudes— take away the “/” forward slash from the links and then they will load properly.

And what RG DOES do, he does technically excellently — which I find praiseworthy, especially when currently there is so much shoddy chic.
