Paint giant exclamations points on white walls of an exhibition space. Dress in my Sunday best and greet people excitedly as they enter the room, ask them questions as if they are friends I have not seen for a long time, escort them out and ask them to come again.

Place a giant trough of fortune cookies in the middle of room, with a sign that says "Take one." On the wall in front of the view have a giant T-chart that says "true" on one side and "untrue" on the other. Provide tape for people to tape their fortune on one side of the chart. -It could also be a t-chart with all the answers you find in a magic eight ball.

Screen print "No mames." on enough sheets of cardstock to cover an entire room. See if anyone takes them. 

Create mini exhibitions inside of those old picture views for kids. 

Create a video of myself in a gold swimsuit attempting to do a double somersault off of a diving board into a pool, over and over and over again. Have a screenprinted take away that says, "No mames."

On one wall write the words, "Why should I praise you for working like a dog?" on the other wall have screenprinted take aways that say "you're a human." a variety of ways. (I.e. "you're human," you are a human.""you a human") On the opposite wall write, "be human with me."

Paint portraits of houses. Do it really well.

Make a request box. Take requests. When enough requests are collected, host an event to play/do all requests. Request only party.

Create a single colored heart piñata. Fill with confetti. Puncture the piñata and let all the confetti pour out. Carefully repair the piñata using a different color tissue paper. Sweep up confetti and funnel it back in the piñata. Repeat until the piñata is an array of different colors where it has been patched. 

Organize a sewing circle to create "dream pillows." Ask people to submit "dreams" in writing. Insert in pillows. Sew closed. Sit with individuals as you sew their pillows shut and discuss with them their dreams and aspirations.

Invite people to write insecurities on pieces of paper. Create a giant smiley face pinata. Destroy it.


Fill explosive tear drop shaped pinatas with sequins. Blow them up.
