(thru Eric Theise)Good going, Rod. Thanks for the sites - I've been a sicky and in too much of a stupor to check out what's going on, artwise, in the Bay Area. I should be in sf in a couple of weeks though.There are a pair of shows now on in San Francisco that
have to do with John Cage's printmaking activities at
Crown Point Press during the years 1977 - 1992.Here are some websites (better than I did with the
Schneemann):* exhibit at the Palace of the Legion of Honor until
Apr 15, 2001

Sober and Quiet the Mind, available 1 March 2001 (42$US)

Crown Point Press is in a loftily sized renovated old brick building. As an ex-printmaker, the size of the presses is mindblowing to me, the staff is great and they have a HUGE history in printmaking. We actually arrived at closing time one weekend and they let us in and gave us a tour, to boot!!! Tom Marioni's (Kathan's husband) studio is there...and he holds an artists' salon every Wednesday night - only the bartender (rotating position) is allowed to invite guests. He's quite a figure in Bay Area art, and, of course, internationally.

Young)

P.S. to Rod - i think a half a small box of gingersnaps would do it.
