Gene Threndyle, the man with the rock collection that looks good enough to eat. Both images from the installation Rocks of The Great Lakes, currently on display at York Quay Galleries until June 22.
There is more from Gene at GeneDigs.com, inlcuding this video document of the Human Jukebox, which VB and I were lucky enought to happen upon on sunny summer day.
Our friends at Hallwalls in Buffalo tell me that May 21, 2008 is the deadline for the U.S. government to appeal Critical Art Ensemble's recent court victory.
How I spent my mini-vacation...these photos do not do the forest justice cause there ain't no audio. The bottom one is a picture of a nesting grouse (yes it is). I flushed it and it scared the shit out of us. Then we knew where its nest was so we scared it back a few times by trying to take its picture. Now we're gone so the poor little thing can get back to worrying about genuine predators. When we first got there we kept hearing a low kind of put-put-putting sound. VB said, "That's grouse." I said, "No, silly, that's a motor on a nearby farm." Then we played is-isn't for a couple of days, and came home to the bird book, which says this about ruffed grouse, "The drumming of the male might be overlooked as a distant motor starting up, or an outboard on some far-distant lake. The 'booming' starts off slowly, gaining speed until it ends in a whir: bup...bup...bup...bup..bup.bup. up. r-rrrrrrr. At a distance the muffled thumping is so hollow that sometimes it hardly registers as an exterior sound, but seems rather to be a disturbing series of vibrations within the ear itself."
