I'm visiting my parents. You know what this means. I need email. I need LJ comments. And send me good vid links, because I can actually watch them from here.
Well I would have answered sooner, only I was in Vancouver. Went to see the Jungen retrospective (SO COOL, but too small). Got in for the kids rate as always. Stupidity tax strikes again.
I will send you video linkage. And maybe even get around to replying to e-mails, who knows?!
I agree about the Jungen. I loved the pieces, but I wanted more -- and actually I'm not sure about that many masks. It did create that "museum of anthropology" feeling that a few masks would not have -- it became a very cool installation. But I lost the feel for the individual objects, which were so incredible and devastating the first time I saw just the two of them, in a case, alone.
I don't know. Losing the feeling for the object is also commentary...
does this mean i don't really need to travel to see the jungen? I did so love the ones that were part of the parallel exhibit alongside the warhol. maybe it's better to see them in photos? they are effing brilliant pieces of work (rather like this new icon, frac). maybe i could take in the takanabe at the same time - would you believe i had all that access at the AGGV, and never actually went through? silly me.
too tired to capitalize. damned hunchback clown! (ok, actually, not the clown's fault - it's the chorus and priniciples who like going for beer after who are really causing my slowness).
oh feh! I didn't get the icon posted right. well, here it is because i love it so. hmmm...now what'd really be cool is if I could have that done up as cards for the opening of Rigoletto - just a random thought.
The only problem is that the image only exists at 72 dpi. The type and the figure (which is actually part of the letter E in a wickett font) would scale fine, but I don't know about the background. Although maybe at a small size it wouldn't matter so mu-- (ducks to avoid bolts of tech contempt)
Ah, I see. Nobody loves me.
