The parallel synchronized randomness of pancakes

Okay, I use the term lightly, the PSR of my assem­blage art projects. But it’s not a triple-​threat made in Dead Mule Stu­dio, it truly has a math­e­mat­i­cal pur­pose, a rea­son for exis­tence. I learned of it in “The Sci­ence of Sleep” — an extra­or­di­nary and simul­ta­né­ously dis­turb­ing and bril­liant movie. To those who wish to delve into par­al­lel syn­chro­nized randomness – Imagine […]

Assemblage #249

I was a one-​girl band in the mid-​1960s. My par­ents some­how pro­cured an entire “band” which could be strapped to one’s chest and hung over shoul­ders. The front con­tained a wash­board with a scrub brush, a floogle horn-​type assem­blage, lots of cym­bals, , a bicy­cle horn, spoons and the rear assem­bly could be acti­vated with a lever. I don’t remem­ber what all […]

BCAC_wires1 getting it together this way here

Well, the rodeo won out, with Shel­ter Island view­ing com­ing in on Mon­day instead of today. We’re going to the Bob Mar­tin Agri Cen­ter and I’m hop­ing the sights and scenes will pro­vide much artis­tic fod­der. Artists and writ­ers must get out of the stu­dio and observe, duh… of course you know that, but for […]

It’s dif­fi­cult to jug­gle cre­at­ing art and know­ing it. Shall I read what’s up with A Book About Death, work on web design ideas with to cel­e­brate the upcom­ing release of The Eve of Fluxus, or fin­ish the final two can­vases for BCAC? Part of me wants to clean house and stop apol­o­giz­ing for my kitchen mess. Dishes […]

DSfrom a book of fluxus by fluxed

I have pub­lished a book, a small phở­to­graphic vol­ume, a Moon Made Book and it is avail­able to the gen­eral pub­lic for a lim­ited time. Avoid future regret and buy one when I offer it which will be really soon. It is titled: The Arrest of Julian 8th Aboard the Transoceanic Liner Hard­ing Mars Day — June 10th, 1967 No, really it is. […]

Grow­ing up, our house was filled with scraps of paper. Notes from peo­ple, news­pa­per clip­pings, ideas jot­ted on the backs of envelopes. An ephemera house. Stuck in between the pages of books, like lit­tle truth or fic­tion bonuses — notes of the day, news­pa­per clip­pings, book­marks made by preschool­ers, lists of all kinds. I remem­ber find­ing a faded newspaper […]
