Low Rent (a first and mobile moon)

"It's been a lark of fun. Now that I have the whole of your frowns and they're all officially upside down, Says Mister Dish. Let's shake shake shake," and then the camera spins out on its gimbal with a pivot and a whir.
"When the artists clean their webs, when they stretch them and then coat them with the milk that's been emulsed with the oil from pressed cotton seed for strength he's still right here soaking his nuts in the same water from his brushes. It extracts the oils that help transfer those colors more evenly," this is what Dish says.
"I have in several ways also attempted to emulse the lard and spear of many other orders of grease and sweat and have only succeeded so long as they remain in a state of fluidity. So you'll see, the roots of the system aren't all bad but let's not die on their myths eithe. Maria "Goddam" Constantinople," He says twice to all of the happy boys and girls that are gathered. Once they're drawn into this more deeper and sympathetic radius they really began to rally and cluck. The small group is mostly arranged on the three sofas. A few of the younger corporals are in their shirt sleeves. Some of them have found some desk chairs. They wheeled these up to form a loose shorthand for circle. A rustic tune, I Would Be a Boy washes over the walls and it spills into the corners. A telling course of engaged activity starts as everyone faces the neat pillar and the first picture appears.
Effused wet smak of my day Unbridled enthusiasm Naps and worry in the strata Thank you space Its cupola is folded It's genderless spire tucked beneath the arm that will not keep it dry Earnest as a flint Thank you for yesterday Thanks for the time that's now gone spent spent spend This place This crime of soft hands Warm as a victim's teeth safe among houses Dry as the ablest of Aces and Vagrants This wanna-be Lamb's basket Tender these wretched poor Their dimes and their hats too hand Welcome here to hang this wall where the wagon aught go Welcome morning sun Wet smak of my day

"There's a restlessness in the gallery that's easily hidden beneath the quiet of the morning. It's the sort of quiet that's like a long suffering pill of calamity. Somehow it's made it's way up to the heart of the whole experience of the sofa and it's gonna stay there. You'll know it soon," Donnie looks around. There are zippered suits hanging from lines of taut cord. Each one's a vector that's crossing over another vector and in turn each of those are being crossed over again and again in turn over turn. Here in the center of them is this calming calm of space. Here's where Donnie's playing cards are. They're strung up from the ceiling. They hang around him like a gaseous puke of floating glitter (big dumb glatter please). In the late night they were washed with a deluge from an upstairs pipe that burst.
"They're still wet," he says. "They were my mom's," He turns around and sits on a hard wooden box left by the preparators.
"I like it here anyways, don't you," Serena cranes her neck to avoid a damp Jack.
"I suppose," Donnie's not a mule of the flesh. Some might say that he acts slowly and without warning. "But you could say it's a full house today," He answers.
"I think there's a restless Italian feel to the gallery. It's wet and shiny now. It reminds me of seventies disco. But it's all tied up here. What do you think Donnie?"
"That's not really the idea. There's this angel baby in this old sad song I know. It's gone and white. A little like blind paintings for deaf people," He plucks a card that's twisting by his ear. The paper's old and it's pliable from being wet. "I wanted all of these to look bright like the stars. Mom collected them from diners and filling stations that she passed through. I think these were from Idaho or Louisana."
"I can take your picture now?"
"Nah, let's go."

The apologist and the appraiser have decided to stay put

dashed wet and grim Oh now, Reagan of steel glitter in pants with which to shake them on down. Oh now, I shit you not for these are the things. Yes in any order you should choose these are the things to please please me, Oh Yeah. - Unmarked letter signed, A to A They'll say to me that it's safe to say so much for ubiquity, for disenfranchisement, and the terrorism of privilege. They'll say to me, With all of the effects from these profoundly toxic effects, is the project of our shared humanity effectively being dismantled. Are these the idle thoughts and sad tidings of despots and the tyrant kings inside of their comfortable towers of raised muck. As I've said before, They're not so far gone as to be gone for the good of all. This is plain to be seen in a world of bent backs and gross hyperbole. I'll sit in any unused doorway. I'll be beside myself while every door is locked. I'll dream of the halls and listen as the curtains, the drinking, an...

Piles of leaves: Letters Campaign

Suddenly old but feeling perfect, my wet underwear is on the the floor. It's gathered round my ankle. Myko laughs, just as wet and full of piss as ever. The violence of our togethering already feels like more than something. I reach out, taking the back of her neck with my hand. She's stepping in as I lean over to write; Dear, Temperance, October, and Brine, You are more than a place to me. More than walls and simple chimes, but I'll write to you anyway. This you'll know as you read my words. From here beside the lark's buttered breast, from under the heavy lids and the bright side kettle where we'll hum. We'll hum together, Bunny. Dickens be damned, we're now brightly doomed. Soon enough we'll see, the forest within the trees. To you, Tigre PS. are more or only this bed, maybe the floor too.   We spend the day in, ordering takeout and hiding under the sheets. I get up and pee while Katt is talking about Milton. Her mouth's open, it's as rou...

Not the Willem DeKooning Retrospective (Not Even Close)

Willem DeKooning, Excavation (1950) oil on canvas Yesterday at work I bumped into this piece by Donald Kuspit on DeKooning's retrospective over at Artnet . Then this morning I bumped into this one on L Magazine's site, by Paddy Johnson . I don't know that Paddy Johnson demystifies DeKooning as much as she takes issue with his pallet, declaring it repetitive and boorish en masse. By contrast, Donald Kuspit writes an article painting DeKooning as a sadistic brute inextricably tied to the modern tradition in general and Picasso specifically. Together they make for some interesting reading, particularly as Kuspit never addresses the show itself in favor of drawing his conclusions from individual works. While Johnson seems to wear the show like an imaginary wool shawl, noting it's uncomfortable, out of style, and the zipper is broken. But she doesn't seem to get to a place that addresses what was actually there either, only what she felt was missing or to her mind ...
