Myself and some russian art student frends always haunt the trash
sites in neighborhood as many art and architecture students throw ouyt otf
good stuff--also at end o the ter many stdets as you mentioned, give
up--and so leave behnd in their lockers and laying abt al manner of
materias

also rummage around constryuction sites--you'll find n end of good
materials!

some of thw rokesr in my area now know me and save things for
me--all kinds of great stuff--

aso check out art supplies etc stores on trash night for when they
throw out things used for smaples--papers, pens, etc etc markers and so
on--discontinued lines

depending on the city and the shool you can really feast along
with the flies on what is thrown out

yad sales often afford good materials of all srots

when i was in advanced placment in fremch for two years
sponsored by the french gov't--w had to memorize thousands of lside in the
manner you mention

name, date, painter, school to which it belong, influences it
showed as well as those it engendered etc

evrything from truly wild dada works to the most boring of the
accepted works of the various nineteenth century bourgeous salon painters

that was toughest exam i had ever had to tke--lasted two days--i
was put in the french native language speaker section--as many in new
hampshire, where i ws bussed to school as our village in vermont was too
small for anything past sixth grade--there are many people in northern nh
who work in the sawmills and the forests--lumberjacks and carpeneters like
many of my relatives for generations--who speak only french despite being
citizens of the usa

the exams were given by jesuits in a Concrod nm--the capital--we
were bussed down or driven by our teachers--exams were in spoke, written,
writing essays on spot, grammar, history, art identification, etc etc etc

man those Jesuits were a tough lot!

i did win two years running firt place and plaques and books from
french gov't--which alone helped me get nto college--

(i was also living a lot in frnace in those days which allowed me
to be able to speak french so well--now i am pretty rusty though still
read it everyday so as not to forget outright--)

i think though that beig an artist arady you are going to have a
garand old time as i think you are already regarding the art school
experience as a kind of art process/project of your own its own right--and
so will turn all to your own inimitable advantage!

much appreciate your news from the front!

Hi Disco,
Not too late at all, I still don't have all the projects, anyway.  I'm on a
studio tour next weekend so I'm getting ready for that this week (after the
day job *sigh*).  I'm going to try and present the various works differently,
which demands rumination aplenty.

I'd like text from everybody that didn't send something, or I guess I could
look at some of the emails sent about the various projects early on.

I have a random system of choosing which body of work is shown - actually my
cats choose at the same time on alternating Wednesdays by nabbing one from a
bowl of folded papers.  Vladimir is the best at this as he has aspirations
towards paper shredding.

Best,
PK

Ha! Would that they did. Free clay is about the only material you'll 
ever get in abundance. Everything else requires significant 
investment and outlay. Is the ink in printmaking free?

The paper isn't. Lots of light, time, others and often space. Alas, 
no materials. Though some schools have materials at a discount and 
you can even score at term's end when students decide they'll never 
paint or draw again.


Nor does art school have reverse slide exams, as they should: Sketch 
the "Night Watch" by Rembrandt, model the "Burghers of Calais" by 
Rodin, block out an 1879 still-life by Cezanne. Identify and script 
the "Auntie Fluxus event 2-2 for Eryk." Illustrate the similarities 
and the differences of a Greek Kora and a contemporary fashion model.

Instead you are generally required to identify slides with name, 
date, title and sometimes all the rest. Nice and neat, easy to grade. 
Some people are naturally good at this little trick, others massively 
deficient though possessed of a detailed and accurate plastic memory, 
just not much corpus collosum activity twixt verbal and visual.









(Personally, I was fortunate not to have a lot of trouble 
affording art materials, but I have severe psychological restrictions 
on defacing exquisitely made supports and wasting gorgeous gobs of 
materials. Luckily, I have given myself leave to destroy, remake and 
vitrify clay, though not too much.)

Dear Devon--and Pk:  many thanks--i believe Pk deserves so much of the credit
for superb job both in having the idea and rvn more f presentation! am quite
stunned by it

devon i have meant to write to you for eons i did recieve yr letter
and projects and urging to  "coming back at ya" via mail--i had for nearly
a month
before  winding up in emergency room a very serious sinus infection which
kind of limited anything i did to the minimum for a day just te know i had
done something, hence the long lamented reply that they are delightfully
here
(due to many preivous near death experiencs with hospitals am
always
terrified that if i go in wil never get out aive!  so idiotically tempt
fate by staying away long as possible--figuring bettter just to croack ,be
lt
among the trees or some place outdoors or in my shack--)
(recall first time in hospital with borken back begging the priest
to given me medal with words to effect to allow me to die beside side of
road or
whether--much as Catholics used to wear those medallions saying "in case
of
emergenices notify a roman catholic priest--of course they don't condone
suicide so wdn't go along with this!)

i hope all goes well in school--something abt the Fall and school
always a season of great excitement and promise!  all those new books and
people to meet!

never having been to art school wd be glad to learn of what all goes
on there--do they provide good access to lot of free materials?  any good
exchanges with students and teachers'  good way to hone one's ideas is via
such
contacts--

just remember that for an artist/poet all is grist for the mill! we
are all thieves and cannibals of many  sorts--and so always find something
of
use--whether going along with and learning some basic and useful things or
rebelling agassnt its useless meaning aspects as it tries out
understanding our own
such responses, and we are better able to articulate and examine our
responses,
ideas, etc

not to mention you have the fluxlist and other loons to kept in
touch with--so some good stories to tell!

onwo/ards with the projects and work!

Devon:

Many thanks for presenting your time  ideas re time  entropy

Am auditing a class in Philosophy and Film--mainly decided to do
so
to see again many of the great films have not seen in some time--SUNRISE,
STRIKE, MOTHER, MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA,  some Brakhage--this just in
first weeks--also POTEMKIN--and some other recent short films--

there is a Japnaese exchange  student in class  and I am helping
her
with the readings, which is good as helps me make sure to be attentive
with them  understand them as much as possible--
we are reading together the first three chapters of Gilles
Deluze's Cinema  Movement-Image--the first volume of his two vol. set re
cinema

the first chapters may be of interest to you as they are concerned
with ideas of movement in relation to time and representation in the works
of Bergson, in particular his 1896 MATTER AND MEMORY--and in turn in
relation to film--

re art  entropy--there's a great little book by Rudolf Arnheim
from I believe it is U Cal Press, 1971--the title is either ART AND
ENTROPY or ENTROPY  AND ART--he cites at one point as examples the work of
Malevich and of Robert Smithson--the latter especially, both in his Earth
works and in his essays--wrote a good deal and thought a good deal on
entropy--Malevich does as well in his essays, though from a different
viewpoint--concerned with non-objectivity--whereas Smithson is concerned
more with matter--

the Smithson are collected in his WRITIINGS, also from U Cal
Press--the updated version from 1996 I think it is--the layout is smaller
than the first edition, but includes a few more pieces of interest than 
the
first edition--

one of the most important re photography and time and entropy is
his
A TOUR OF THE MOnUMENTS OF PASSAIC, N.J.-
you might find that of great interest in relation to your
project--

it is humorous we have nearly the same time for the
project--though in a relative sense, it may be not so nearly  the
same--as where are
you in space?-- i am in Milwaukee, WI USA so that is continental united
states central time--

wd highly recommend the Arnheim and the Smithson--

also the later advances in entropy studies leading to the
discovery of negentropy--in relation to art--are in ORDER OUT OF CHAOS by
Ilya Prigogine and Isabelle Stengers 
(NY:  Bantam, 1984)

--
"Ain't it high time" drawled the Sheriff, "to git rid of them
clocks?  I mean the Good Lord when He made the world only talked bout
days.  Didn't mention no hours nor minutes.  Let's just plain old shoot
out
them clocks and let the sun do the talkin'."

One wag pointed out that a sundial basically did this--and old
Sheriff Holcomb plumb shot him in the foot.

"Gol dang it! Always got t' be some know-it-all gummin' up the
works--when life should just be kept plain and country simple."

 Oddly enough the time I selected is 5:17 in the afternoon. I set an alarm on 
 my watch so its exact. At that exact time, I am placing a chrome clock (that 
 I put on a little stand) on the ground and I am photoing wherever I am for 
 the next 21 days.
 
 I am using a clock as representing time- something that exists outside of 
 entropy. The city or highway or whatever is in the background is 
 representing entropy as it is naturally degenerating and running down. That 
 is the nature of everything but time (and maybe some other things that I 
 can't think of right now). The two contrasting ideas are represented by the 
 photograph.
 This is a representation of a pair of representations.
 
 Anyway kids, I'll be off. Just thought it was odd that Dave and I are almost

  One image, same thing, or words or painting or drawing or
  whatever at the same time every day from the 10th of July ' til
  the 31st - if you will keep them in a horizontal format in the
  same size, it would be appreciated (in keeping with summer,
  horizontal, yes?)  No size preference, just send 'em to me when
  you're done, by email or snail mail and I'll
  do.something...sorry, I have to take a nap, now.

Remember the old Cheech and Chong routine, "What I did Last
Summer?"

Basically the same routone repeated over and over word for word--I
got up, i went to look for a job, I stopped at the corner drug store, I
hung out.


(am sure somebody else remembers it better than i.  "it's been a
long . . .
time . . . man . . ." etc)

is one piece = eight  and a half by eleven, or are all 21 to fit
in that
size together when "time's up"?

 I can only tell you I will figure it out between July 10-31.  Probably
 a web event.  The same item, event or thought, etc.  once every day.
 Keep them small, small izone, reduced photos, small drawings, words,
 whatever.  If they could fit on one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet, that would be
 ideal.

I think "far out" was in that song somewhere.  Anyways, I was thinking it
should be limited to one page because so many fluxlisters would want to jump
on the Zen minimalist everyday experience of it all, but since we only have
about 6-7 so far.how 'bout if we see how it goes by Friday.  If
participation remains low, 1 page is fine, 3 pages each max?  The oracle shall
announce Friday : )
