my alter ego, mero cocinero karimi, went to the minnesota state fair this past august. i don’t know if you Mero or the State Fair, but Mero was created at the Galeria de La Raza in 1997 when I built my first installation piece for a Regeneration project. He is a progressive idealist chef who wants to start the “revolution one kitchen at a time”. He goes around the country trying to raise consciousness: food, cultural, and political. Anyways, he (I) went to the Minnesota State Fair, home of everything on a stick. In response to this stick mentality, he walked around with every presidential candidate on a stick, and asked people which candidate they want on a stick. It was a riot. People would give him (me) their food to try, and it was hard staying in character for 4 hours. Chihuahua!

Love to get folks feedback.
The show itself is different than the other live street performance. I can write about that, too…later.
I am doing the show in houston in December and in the Bay May 08, if you want to eat free food.

My work is inspired by the psychological impact that mass media- and mass production have on our society. I am especially interested to re-make those mass produced objects that seem no longer relevant to our society and transform them into new realities, changing our memories and our perceptions of them.
Because my work is interactive it gives the viewer an active role on the decision whether to be removed or not from a reality to which they have become accustomed. My work engages them to reflect on our relationship with material and culture.
For the Chicana/0 Biennial I am showing Osiloscopiando from the Recycling Junk series.
I hope you will enjoy it!

Paula Goodman (my good friend) turned me on to this amazing phenomenon, BUTTERSCOTCH. She has to be the next big thing if she doesn’t freak out from the fame or take the wrong dark road… she’s amazing… inspiring… and so young! Anyhow, Paula and I, and apparently a lot of others love her. Isis and I were talking and she hadn’t heard about her yet so i thought i should share with NIM. This is my first time using You Tube clips also, but i cheated and used the ones Paula sent me as myspace comments (gotta start somewhere). hope you all enjoy!
