hot art days

The heat is descending upon us and I know that maybe this seems that it would be impossible to continue an entirely outdoor art event held on a concrete pad that retains and amplifies all of the heat from the sun that has been beating on it all day.

But you would be wrong.

First of all, First Backyard highly recommends and is now officially endorsing baking soda as your drug of choice to combat the usual seemingly unavoidable stinkiness that comes with this time of year. Don't ingest it, of course, but powdered on instead of deodorant and we swear, although you may still sweat and occasionally have to combat white phantom rings, you will no longer smell like a horse.

So, keeping this in mind, try conjuring up that next great project you've been wanting to play around with to share with our intimate First Backyard audience. The sun and heat, if not producing hallucinations, have and can still inspire great works of performance, spoken word, sound, installation or participation. Stay tuned for examples of such inspiring works.

We will even provide a large vat of baking soda, seeing as it is available for the artist-friendly price of only 99 cents.

Send a short description of your project along with a web link or other images to: furryjenusATgmail.com
