i like when you can read something and the ideas expressed can seep into your life. like you can directly relate them to something you had in your head already even if it seemed far fetched fifteen minutes earlier. there aren’t a lot of things that can do this, to create this dialogue. this can sound corny, but it’s not, because a magazine or a website is supposed to do this in essence, and can very much do this on a rare occasion. more often doesn’t. so i suppose this is a review, but i was really enjoying this ANP quarterly #2, especially a few interviews and the perspectives laid down by these people. i can’t even tell you where to find this magazine, because it’s big and free and my friend brendan gave me one but it goes fast because there’s no ads and i don’t know where it goes. so anyway…
sometimes it’s good to spend time alone and read and process info. take things in, write a few lines down, draw a few things and let things settle because you have the head space in place. It’s also probably a good idea for me to use proper capitalization if I want people to understand what I’m typing. It’s a simple thing, but the easier things are to read the more the ideas can get across. And we’re generally looking for a little clarity aren’t we? Sure we are.
Anyway, this is an “art blog” not a regular writing blog, so this is all a sub-note.
I follow your work and thought you would appriciate this link http://www.ubu.com/film/index.html
“Speaking of archival film footage, Ubuweb is back. And to it, a superb library of downloadable classics of avant-garde & experimental cinema has been added. Samuel Beckett, Joseph Beuys, James Broughton, Luis Buñuel – and those are just the contributors whose surnames begin with B – the list is huge & extraordinary. Dziga Vertov? Robert Smithson? Carolee Schneeman? Man Ray? John Cage? They’re all here.”
i glanced at that magazine a couple days ago. i was stoaked that ed tempelton took that photo of raymond pettibon.
i was drawing outside of the 1/2&1/2 today and a girl walked by me with a copy. “where did you get that?” i asked her, “reading frenzy, but it was there last one, you should try jackpot”, i went down to jackpot and they had a whole box of them! also she told me there will be some at the BARR show saturday at town lounge.
yeah barr makes the magazine together with ed templeton and aaron rose. we’re doing a show together 10/8 at towne loungs:

good link i’m going to check that out now, thanks!
Yeah, I love it when things line up like that! Or, even, when taking two supposedly unrelated classes, and then BLAMO!, it’s just two different ways of expressing the same Idea, and neither one would be half as good as the both…
