  The Story So Far
 
  Fourteen wolverines and one lap dog chase a
 badger. But the badger is
  too fast and burrows beneath a paintbrush stuck in
 a stone. In the
  burrow are mushrooms and grain. The badger makes a
 broth ambrosia of the
  green grain and mushrooms and is soon asleep.
 
 
  The badger is dreaming that it was just a dream,
 there are no wolverines
  or lap dog because the badger was really awakened
 by the artist removing
  the paintbrush from the stone to begin painting
 for the morning. Little
  does the artist realize that the badger is in the
 burrow. Once the
  badger (a strange name for a badger some would
 say) is reassured as to
  its safety and breakfast is under way in the
 burrow; ambrosia of green
  grain and mushrooms with the added delight of mini
 marshmallows!
 
  The day is going well, but what was that
  strange sound? Thunder and a police siren mix with
 snoring. The badger
  jumps from his spot thinking the stone has
 imploded. When he hears the
  rain on the stone above, he realizes the
 electricity is still working,
  washes his face and soon falls back deep asleep.
 
  Hours later, Once, the badger, is awakened by the
 noise of wood against
  stone. It is night and the lap dog is yapping. The
 wolverines have
  surrounded the stone and are chanting an
 incantation. The badger doesn't
  breathe, not a whisker moves. Neither up nor down,
 although suspense is
  acrostic. After a paws of several minutes the
 badger quickly whips out
  his cross-stitched magic asbestos underpants and
 pulls them on
  ferociously. Once flings open the serving hatch
 and grabs the vial of
  sacred weasel water and makes a dot for the burrow
 entrance and
  confronts the seething mass of writhing wolverines
 squirming around the
  stone which is now glowing with a strange
 phosphorescent throb!
 
  1
 
  It was a dense night. Stumble patterns and brave
 yapping set apart the
  party of owl elves and gnome mimics as they writhe
 and chase and spurn
  the undergrowth around the latest beige badger
 silting. In the brave
  distance behoves the strange and incandescent
 foreshadows of wolverines
  and greenish melon lights upon the substantial
 forest fare.
 
  Young Zonograph, the tallest owl elf snuffed his
 warps harp and muttered
  - I can hear a badger. The badger is in trouble. I
 scents wolverines.
  Hurry there is no stone unready ton roll upturned
 in this lackadaisical
  pre-momentary of the word fandango.
 
  Meanwhile, or to be more precisereiouseless, high
 on hill stood a lonely
  man with a goathead, his fixedinterestrate stare
  directeddyboyhoodlesservilely at the burning black
 belching smokestacks
  of the town beyong the wolverine woods. The sound
 of a suddenly
  snuffeforadicalcified warps harp, brought memories
 back for Ludwig Hat,
  erstwhile butler and badger
 baiterribleedinglendervish of Vincent and
  Cara Van Hire.
 
  Ludwig stood immobile, imshelle and intexacoe, for
 Ludwig had been
  brained by falling groceries, dropped from almost
 a mile overhead and
  one mile and eight inches over shoulder, a result
 of the splitting of a
  cheap carrier pigeon on it's way home. Forcing his
 gaze downward Ludwig
  was horrified, not only had his part of the story
 not managed to settle
  on a definite form, not only did it lack content
 but now to his disgust
  he found that he had been
 rendereducededicateddyboyfriended by a
  tangerine!!! He couldn't even get that right.

The Monterey Fluxus show is up and it has been so fun 
to see the reaction-some of it hilarious in fact. The staff that works at the 
mall has been pressed into action to clarify just exactly what Fluxus is to the 
folks that come by. They decided to try and use my "What is Fluxus" folder to 
explain and were driven deeper into confusion--all to my personal delight of 
course. You will remember that the "What is Fluxus" folder contains all of your 
responses to "what does Fluxus mean to me". Madawg

today I handed one of the staff members at the antique mall one of Reid Wood's cards he sent for the show. The card reads, "when you recieve this card give it to someone else". The whole staff treated it as if it were a hot potato and it finally ended up with the cleaning woman who happened to be going out the door. Dawg

 On transit.Visual narratives in North America.
Opening June 20th at 7.30pm.  Baja California's Center of Arts in Mexicali 
(México)

Catalog may be ordered or downloaded at http://www.cruncheditores.tk/


The word transit has a sense of double meaning. In first instance it
refers to the pass on public space, to travel by scales. In an indirect
form is related with Latin transitione, denoting a change of state, a
modification, a sudden variation in terms of reasoning or expression, a
space of specific intermediation. When we speak about the border culture,
the notion of transitgets dressed with both senses and aims towards the
construction of a contextual frame that allows to glimpse dynamics not
necessarily visible in regards to the invention and re-invention of the
every day things. Facing the globalization, the border must be think as an
extended way, reproduced in each one of the processes that constitute the
systems of symbolic and material interchange. The almost mythologic speech
of the cultural resistance hides the nature of the things and in special
the transit of them. The present exhibition not only represents an
approach of the term, but also the form in which the sense of the North
America is constructed. Although the field of the arts has been
overdressed  with a relative autonomy, it persists in works a feedback
with respect to its own contexts and consensuses.

On-Transit. Visual narratives in North America reunites six young,
original artists of the three countries that conform the NAFTA region.
More than a revision of the latest tendencies, is a sample of the
individual restlessness of the artists, whose tie point in conceptual
terms is the idea of transit in terms of the real and the possible, what
corresponds to the social surroundings and its imaginary understood like
costories. The sample explores identity and other closely linked questions
about the development of the communities and the landscape, but also
hedonistic perspectives in regards the notion of traveling and movement.
In formal terms, the exhibition integrates a series of techniques that go
from the drawing to the electronic graph, from the photography to the
performance, the installation and the intervention.

Besides the work of Bibiana Padilla Maltos, Camille Turner, Katie Herzog,
Marc LeBlanc, Anne SARAH Johnson and Carlos Adolfo Gutiérrez Vidal, the
reader/public will find the approaches critical of Sobaz Benjamín,
Alejandro Espinoza, Meeka Walsh and Jeff M. Ward; an extended dialogue
that pretends to extend in the field of the arts and complements with
literary perspectives, travel journals and the opinion of Tim Dunn, Josh
Kun, Jerome Rothenberg, Mark Weiss, Gabriel Trujillo Muñoz and Lorne
Roberts.
