OUTRAGED BY THE OUTRAGE CAUSED BY THE OUTRAGEOUS IMAGES
Rummy's getting all meta on us again, which seems to be his m.o. whenever he has no answers to explain the latest unknown unknowns [i.e. all the bloody time]. Rather than banning digital imaging devices, how about admitting to guilt and wrongdoing instead of trying to sweep it all under the carpet? According to Susan Sontag, that's not such an easy thing... indeed, the onslaught of dirt will be unstoppable. [link first seen at maud]
ME AND NABOKOV BOTH
Speaking of m.o.'s, I think cryptomnesia might be mine [link first seen at maud]. There's not an original thought in my head, and I freely admit to exploiting the ideas of others, hence my reluctance to pursue any manner of a lengthy writing endeavour: I fear it might be some twisted hybrid of prose that attempts, then fails, to emulate the stylistics of Amis, Gray, Self, Sebald, and Kafka all at once. Now that would be a waking nightmare.
WHERE YOU GO, THERE WILL I GO TOO*
Lucrezia de Domizio Durini is passionate about the life and art and vision of Joseph Beuys. That is more than evident in her biography of the late German artist. But it is also evident through her actions: the money procured from the gallery sale of $7M worth of personally owned Beuysian art, photography, and ephemera will be put towards the construction of the Difesa della Natura [Defense of Nature] gallery in Italy, one of many projects that Beuys initiated during his lifetime.
*taken from German poet Justinus Kerner, and incorporated into the Beuysian action, Eurasia.
