I usually only write about visual artists that make me jealous, but I just heard an interview with one of my favourite writers, David Sedaris<\/a> and I’ve come up with a plan. David writes about everyday people that he observes in everyday life… but with his own special, hilarious skew. I’d love to get a handful of artists* to work with him, each one creating a piece based on a story from his diary. Then<\/em> I’d hang the work in a small gallery, put an armchair in the middle and David would read aloud from said diary (His books are amazing, but hearing him<\/em> read<\/a> will make you laugh til you cry!). After the show David and I would become best friends. We’d hang out in Parisian cafes laughing and drinking coffee. Ah yes ~ a\u00a0 perfect plan on so many levels.<\/p>\n * Here’s my artist lineup for the show: Sidney Pink<\/a>, Team Macho<\/a>, Tim Moore<\/a>, Martha Rich<\/a>, Dave Barnes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I usually only write about visual artists that make me jealous, but I just heard an interview with one of my favourite writers, David Sedaris and I’ve come up with a plan.
