Hanging Myself

Not funny really in this time of Infinite Jests, but maybe it is really exactly how I feel. I mean in the sense of eternal return, or Metampsychosis, or however you spell it and whatever Joyce was talking about…. I’m hanging the show. I feel like a worker… in the Marxist sense of that word: working on the ladders with the back into it. I mean to say that hanging a book is a physical act. I’ve been training for it like a boxer at the gym.. but my fucking thumbs are still weak for the push pins and the map pins and the pins and needles and needles and pins…..feel like a carpenter… feel like Christ crucified… stigmata on my thumb. LOL. music here is some odd Brian Wilson post Smile mid mad period song. Fucking lovely and perfect fit for my raw time lapse. More to come…

I Made Pictures of Making a Picture of Everyone Who Might Be Looking At These Pictures of Everyone

This was interesting in a lot of different ways… the most obvious here is how do you describe a horizontal scroll on a vertical scroll. That’s one of the many conflicting impuses embodied in this crowd… all born out of monkeybook and being surrounded by a physical audience… who is my audience?… I think I’ll draw them and perform infront of the drawing. Today’s post also asks the guestion (more than most), which here is the real work of art? The drawing, or the film of the drawing, or the whole thing together on the blog, or what?

Red Hook

Went to check out the new, somewhat controversial Red Hook Fairway store… had to shop anyway, so it might as well be an adventure… Plus it goes along with my recent obsession on efforts to “redevelop” Brooklyn. It’s, actually, a pretty good store and all the stray warf dogs I remember from the old days have “moved” on. Red Hook is an amazing place, but one of the things I love about it, is it’s general sense of decay… no doubt that won’t last…. You loose so much, but atleast you can get nice fruit.
