new order


...


the Ungovernables show at New Museum was actually very good --  a big part of it.

my favorites were Brazilians Jonathas de Andrara diary project and Cynthia Marcelle video of graphics through live objects was brilliant.







as was Egyptian's Hassan Khan video of Shaabi music and two men interacting in dance.





I'm finally reading Tarkovsky's "sculpting in time" where he says:

...Of course, my point of view is  subjective—thank God!..

Masterpieces are born of  the artist's struggle to express his ethical
ideals. Indeed, his concepts  and his sensibilities are informed by
those ideals. If he loves life, has an overwhelming need to know it,
change it, try to make it better, — in short, if he aims to cooperate in
enhancing  the value of life,  then  there is no danger in the fact  that
the picture of reality will have passed  through a filter of his subjective
concepts,  through his states of  mind.
