Here’s something that made me smile today, I dropped by The Library page on Flickr and Me-Jade had finished the Swiss Egg Book just in time for Basel Fasnacht. Double You and Raszka and had some nice starts and Driftwould and Paper&Me posted a beautiful new Collaboration. After Monkeybook, I’ve got to start mailing out the stack of starts I’ve got. It will be like a new beginning.

Fasnacht 2007
Magic Mice are at work revamping the blog and the rat is still chewing on video for the Monkeybook show at Monkeytown. There might not be any new content for a couple of days…. so go watch Basel Fasnacht on line: here and eat cheese (oh these paintings are done plaster filled cheese cartons) and look at some old fasnacht stuff starting: here.
Eat Laugh Drink Laugh Eat
I’ve been spending a lot of time looking through the past trying to figure out what to show Wednesday at Monkeytown… and also how to show it. I find it hard to look backward and forward at the same time without falling down in the street… So I haven’t been doing a whole lot of making of things this week, just looking badkward and trying not to fall in the street. I have been making these stupid cartoons to keep my hand in.

New York readers save this date!
Next Wednesday the 28th the Institute is hosting the first of what hopes to be a monthly series of new media evenings at Brooklyn’s premier video salon and A/V sandbox, Monkeytown. They’re kicking things off with a retrospective of work by your’s truly. February 15th marked the second anniversary of IT IN place, which we’re preparing to relaunch with a spruced up design and a gorgeous new interface to the archives (design of this interface chronicled here and here). We’d love to see you there.
For those of you who don’t know it, Monkeytown is unique among film venues in New York — an intimate rear room with a gigantic screen on each of its four walls, low comfy sofas and fantastic food. A strange and special place. If you think you can come, be sure to make a reservation ASAP as seating will be tight.
More info about the event here.
Macbeth Gambit
In The Library, Caroline VK finished my Mabeth/Bergman start and R. Anderson sent me a start in a Gideon’s Bible. Strangely this is the first bible used in the Library that I know of. Here’s my U.S.Ama finish.
A Natural History of Strange Dreams
We went Rolling around the Museum of Natural History with the nephew and I finally got to see a show at the new(ish) Hayden Planetarium. I must say it is one of the few times a thing has surpassed my expectations. It was really one of the more beautiful things I’ve ever seen projected, plus informative. You had this feelings that planets and comets would land in your lap. Later we went to a theme restaurant called Mars 2112 . There may be no better place to experinece a feeling of contemporary alienation than a theme restaurant saffed by aliens. It all felt somehow in tune to the series of strange dreams I’ve been having, where I am wandering around the city encountering all sorts of people from my past.
