Statue of Arthur Ashe, Richmond, Va.

Having civil rights activist and athlete Arthur Ashe’s statue in the eternal company of white heroes of the Confederate States has enraged Richmond’s African-American majority. The sculpture depicts Ashe carrying a book and tennis racket, while a crowd of children reach up to him. From afar, it looks like Ashe is striking the children. Adding insult to injury, Ashe’s statue is shorter in stature than those of its Confederate company.

Russian historian Anatoly Moskvin wrote a piece for a publication on necrology to explain his interest in the dead. He said that when he was 12, he came across a funeral procession whose participants forced him to kiss the face of a dead 11-year-old girl. Subsequently he has been charged with desecrating graveyards after Russian police found 29 mummified bodies dressed in bright clothes and posed like dolls in a "gruesome tableau" in his home.

Remember The Time is a performance in which Momus circulates through the room holding a bright halogen lamp and a ghetto blaster cued up with Michael Jackson’s song Remember The Time. Momus will pick out guests whom he’ll remind, one by one, of times they shared in previous lives together in Berlin. These will be improvised verbal performances of imaginary extrapolated friendships, punctuated with dance moves quoted from the video of Jackson’s epic video for the song.
