Angela Zammarelli

There is a hole in the wall under my bed. Maybe you could come over and we could crawl into it to see where it goes. I have been braiding a rope out of plastic bags; I take them from the trash at work. We could tie it around our waists and anchor it to the bedpost and see where things go.

Hello. I am living in Western Massachusetts again. I received an MFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in April 2007 and a BFA from UMASS Amherst in December 2003. Smack Mellon, Brooklyn, NY, named me a 2009 Hot Pick. I did residencies at Elsewhere in the summers of 2005 and 2006.

I am sitting next to a record of Penguin Café Orchestra. The first time I came to Elsewhere was in the summer of 2005. This trip I road the bus from White River Junction, VT to Greensboro, NC. I didn’t pack for my trip. I figured either there will be things to wear or there won’t. My friend had given me a compilation of Penguin Café Orchestra music and I listened to it the whole journey.

If you ever come and see me maybe we could go find things or at the least we could go for a walk. //
