wow- this is amazing work.


It's built up layers of resin which are painted into and somehow it magically turns into an illusion of a 3d object encased inside a block of plastic.


There are subtle colors and pigments and metallic powders in the paint if you get up close. Photo just doesn't do it justice.

Jean Prouvé

this was pretty cool- a prototype for a metal kit house.

Kinda weird that it's displayed on the same site where a shantytown used to exist in mid eighties. There was a camp down under the bridge that you could see riding over the Queensboro. Tin roofs and everything, dogs, campfires, bikes.

and finally went to the new and improved MOMA













I'm glad Titus 1 was left intact, or so it felt

Andrea Parkins

Attended Andrea's sound installation and was transported-

lying down in the dark with your shoes off is an excellent way to listen to music.

1026 Avenue of the Americas #2S (between 38th & 39 Streets), just below Times Square, New York, New York

FAULTY (per-objective) is a multi-channel audio installation by Andrea Parkins. The work creates purposefully flawed sonic structures, built from a variety of sources, including sound recordings that document the specificity of objects - collected or invented - as they are set into motion. (Upended wine glasses on tilted/greasy mirrors, taut lines of plastic tubing, wobbly plaster forms, apples/potatoes that roll across a bumpy floor, spinning metal washers, stretched skeins of plastic gimp, raspy little snapshots in the wind - these might be performers.) Through the use of Max-based generative processing, multiple chains of audio events will arrive at an indeterminate sonic outcome - an aurality that weaves playful connections between sonified objects, materials and language - and a metaphor for the slippage between object and meaning that occurs through the passage of time (and space).

BIO:

ANDREA PARKINS is a sound artist, composer and electro multi-instrumentalist who also makes/arranges objects, images and (sometimes) words. Known for her dynamic timberal explorations on the electric accordion and inventive use of generative sound processing, Andrea has appeared on more than 40 recordings on labels including Hatology, Atavistic, Knitting Factory, and Creative Sources. She has performed worldwide as a soloist, and with artists such as Nels Cline, Thomas Lehn, Fred Frith, ROVA Saxophone Quartet, and Otomo Yoshihide. She has also presented her work at the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Kitchen and Experimental Intermedia, among other NYC venues. Currently, Andrea continues to develop and perform a series of Max/MSP-based audio/visual works inspired by Rube Goldberg's circuitous contraptions, a project realized during artist's residencies sponsored by the Hamburg Cultural Board in Germany; at Harvestworks in New York City and CESTA in the Czech Republic.

Pat threw a lovely party to welcome me to Greenpoint (and to break in the landlady who lives downstairs)

Here's Pat- takin' care of business.

I will never dance again...



Thanks Glen. Let's make more movies! I want to make a new version of Necropolis this summer- everyone think about your characters and start building the scenery!
