TRAILER FAMILY PORTRAIT, PALM SPRINGS, CA, 1955 by Charles Phoenix
I love a beautiful family portrait! But never more than when the family is posed in front of a canned ham trailer and at least two of them are dressed alike. In this case its his and hers Hawaiian print shirts. Truly inspired!... |

OUTSIDE THE BOX [INSIDE] THE FORD:
BOBRAUSCHENBERGAMERICA
Review by M.R. Hunter
 What does a man in a chicken suit, a giant bowling pin, a rooster and a kitchen whisk all have in common? Everything and nothing in the LA premiere of Charles Mee's zany collage-montage tribute to the late modern artist, Robert Rauschenberg at [Inside] the Ford.
Inspired by Rauschenberg, Mee conceives a play not bound by conventional Aristotelian unities, but channels the absurdist and radical approach of the artist's innovative spirit.
Where else can one find a Roller Girl (Breeze Braunschweig) gliding by on retro-styled skates, while a man dressed in a chicken suit crosses the stage?
Q: Why did the chicken cross the playground?
