April 23, 2011Broken glass windows from decades of abandon, disuse and/or
no use, the modern world’s wasteland: Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburg,
Me… yet each jagged tributary and fatal line eek chinks of light,
like fear’s silent way of compelling us to look
and walk the other away

Provisional Formations
March 17, 2011We are concerned with a way of living that will take place through explorations and provisional formations which are themselves only exercised in a provisional way.

Glenn Ligon at the Whitney! I heart heart him
March 16, 2011Glenn Ligon: AMERICA, the exhibition that The New Yorker called a “striking retrospective,” is now on view through June 5. Fearless in unearthing America’s discomfort with gayness, blackness and those outside the margins. For seeing better from the outside.
memory loss, a short letter to a friend
March 13, 2011
I purchased this piece a few years ago from a Chinese-Canadian artist who was born in Africa. This just made me think about the loss of memory and history (that you just talked about) and how, with what just happened in Japan, a lot of photos (remnants of memories snapped in a particular moment in time) like this would be washed out in one second by a tsunami or be buried by a massive earthquake. everything can be destroyed, everything, everything goes——-memory goes!
