back to the blog

so after a little hiatus i am back to this blog thingy. What have i been doing? Lets see- i made the  waterbed cave room and am now working on some music for it. Once i spent a few hours in home depot playing in the pvc pipe aisle (attracting many strange looks) it came together quite well. I also have started playing with cheese clothy fabric, tule, spray paint and string and hanging it from the ceiling and shining lights at/through it. the strings that i am sewing through it make interesting shadows.   listening to bsbd, john cage, brian eno, the kinks (thanks dan graham), and reading A LOT.  Dan Graham , James Turrell, Allan Kaprow, the clockwork universe, blurring the boundrians, a short guide to writing about art, the poetics of space, installation art a critical history, Space and Place: a perspective on experience Yi-Fu Tuan. And went to NYC and boston and saw some art. NYC went to PS1, dont they think that are the essence of hot. (and totally are NOT) lots of people standing around in the courtyard dressed like schizophrenic good will thieves (and this is coming from me) pretending to enjoy the worlds worst dj at ear drum shattering volume. and the "art" was 99% terrible. shitty videos claiming to be installations. "Why" you ask "would i go there?". Well to experience James Turrell's "Meeting". And it was amazing, big room with square cut out of roof open to sky uncomfortable plywood benches and comfy floor for laying on. I went at dusk and the color of the sky and (white) room chaged dramaticly in the hour and a half i was there. It was quite meditative (despite all the hipsters chatting and weaving in and out) and the ceiling did this wierd backward forward almost optical illusion thing with the sky. and quite amazingly many people initally thought that it was a projected video of the sky!!! (perhaps all that video art seeped into their brains). So what have i NOT been doing- house work. that is right, dishes and laundry galore, dirt in every corner, and i wont mention the state of my fridge.  I draw the line at clean toilets, sheets, and underwear. (just in case you were worried). Dont you all want to visit?
