The outcome of a work is based icy ice on amount of intensity concentration and joy that is pursued roadcrossing the act of work. The character of the artist has to be responsive and lucky. Personally I have never been interested in a defensible reason post card for working achievement functionally is a delusion to do a needed work short changes art. It seems to me that a great part Indian moccasins of urgency in working lies with you real soon. U.S. postages stamps -- sanitarily packaged -- save a trip to post office shapes..files..cleans with key chain forget to bring it with you...to make something the need of which can only fishing 7 springs be determined after its existence and hat judgement subject to change at any moment. 15'18".

Robert Rauschenberg "Note on Painting" 1963
I find it nearly impossible free ice to write about Jeepaxle my work. The concept I planetarium struggle to deal with ketchup is opposed to the logical community lift tab inherent in language horses and communication. My fascination with images open 24 hrs. is based on the complex interlocking if disparate visual facts heated pool that have no respect for grammar. The form then Denver 39 is second hand to nothing. The work then has a change to electric service become its own cliche. Luggage. This is the inevitable fate fair ground of any inanimate object freightways by this I mean anything that does not have inconsistency as a possibility built-in.

Dan Graham at MOCA
I saw the Dan Graham show at MOCA a couple of weeks ago with some friends. I found myself doing a free word association/brainstorm about the show and some of the works. Here is what I came up with:
Mirror
Reflection
Past, Present, Future
Postmodernist reflection
Gerhardt Richter mirrored pieces
history
man in relation to history
man and existentialist crisis
reflection of body
work in relation to the body, situating the body
body art
vanity
surveillance
documentation
social and political documentary
criticism
reflections of yourself as a way to validate your own existence
Sartre, No Exit
bad faith and relationships with others
influence
There was so much there. I definitely recommend seeing it. It will be up at MOCA for the rest of the summer.
I'm having a hard time combining all these things into a cohesive thought/review of the show, so I'll leave you guys with this for now...
