Friends,

I will be filling four walls with a floor to ceiling installation of images extruded over the last several years for the Art Blog: IT IN Place:
http://www.futureofthebook.org/itinplace/

The work will include drawings and collage made over the pages of Fluxus, Time Life Collectibles, and Ulysees. A selection of animations and experimental videos will be projected into the grid of pages.

The Opening is Friday September 26th from 6:00 to 11:00 at USSA Fine Arts which is located in Willamsburgh Brooklyn, right along the Williamsburgh Bridge, between Bedford and Berry Avenues:
109 South 5th Street #204
Brooklyn, NY
718 305 1676

There will be live music and refreshments. I hope to see you there. The installation will be up for about a month. Please forward the invite to anyone you think might be interested.

thanx,

alex

The Dark Side of the Loon

by

darksundry.gifThere was a rainbow around the moon tonight at ten and I ran up to the roof to watch the lunatic clouds flowing by all back lit in a Pink Floyd prism and I was thinking about Rick Wright dying and David Foster Wallace hanging himself from the end of an infinite jest and the stink of sepsis fills the house from the necrotic tumor of my slowly dying dog and it was another day at the vet with free falling finance and the threat of reemergent Republicans buzzing in my ear from my little A.M. radio I use to keep my self from going insane, or it’s opposite. So I thought of the Organ opening to Us and Them from the Dark Side of the Moon and decided to share it with you. A little memorial service from the cathedral of cold front clouds.

The Big Plunge

plunge.jpgYou see them now in the corner of your eyes all about the city: the sleepers. Face down on the cement of the Manhattan Bridge walkway, passed out on the A-train, gone under a shell of cardboard on a SoHo loading dock, lingering in the Lower East Side door step. They are out of it: unconscious, unkempt, uncaring. It must be Afghani heroin.

Cern Turn

Well the switch is on. Just running protons in one direction now… not colliding for weeks, or months. This morning it occurred to me that the Large Hadron Collider uses protons. The symbol for these is a + sign. The flag of Switzerland is of course this: +. I’m not positive that this means anything, but I’m cernturn that it’s an interesting coinciDance.

tomato

Late at night, scanning stacks of faces, I remembered the sun orange tiny tomatoes in the fridge. They had the most amazing combination of sweet and acid. I popped them into my mouth like many little heads. A short smile in a tedious night.
