Fast-forward to a little-known exchange between photographer/ filmmaker Hollis Frampton and sculptor Carl Andre in 1962. (3) Frampton suggests that Andre's typewriter poems are not concrete enough because they mingle sound and sight just as Rimbaud's poem "Voyelles" (1870–71) had done by assigning each vowel a color: "What must be brought about is the divorce of this whole precinct of our activity from the vague shapes of synaesthesia." Considering that Andre's poems were hardly mushy (the one in question is "roseroseroseroserose"), we can see just how far Greenberg's hardheaded approach had taken artists by the 1960s—indeed beyond Greenberg, who had by then retreated into his own kind of sensory haze called "opticality."

Hegel says that when the human spirit achieves perfect self-knowledge, it becomes transparent to itself and transcends the trappings of mere consciousness, and at that point history ends. The Aristocrats is the stand-up version thereof—an absurdist aufhebung. Which is just a fancy way of saying that it shows comedy disappearing, almost literally, up its own ass.per jim lewis
calatrava wtc rail hub approval expected today :
There are still 150-foot-high wings on either side of the hall's tapering arc, but there will not be glass or any other material between the ribs. The wings will still open on nice spring and summer days, and ceremonially every Sept. 11, exposing the concourse below to the open sky. But the width of the maximum opening has shrunk to about 30 feet from 45 feet.
Twice as many steel ribs will enclose the transit hall in the revised design. By reducing the space between the ribs to 5˝ feet from 11, the designers have cut down on the amount of glass that would be exposed to a blast. The ribs themselves would create a protective shadow, depending on the angle of the explosion.
New beaklike prows - it is difficult to avoid zoomorphism when describing Mr. Calatrava's architecture - will extend from the Church Street end of the main transit hall. This hardened prow, about 25 feet long, will protect a critical structural juncture.
A solid wall more than three feet high will ring the base of the transit hall, where the glass bays once almost reached the pavement, and the hall itself will shrink in length to less than 330 feet from 360 feet. This will increase the distance between the hall and surrounding streets, a key means of limiting destruction from vehicle-borne bombs.

Gary Higgins and Band - Live in the WFMU Studios - Engineered By Gil Shuster
Gary's 1973 opus Red Hash has remained a enduring document of
stark, sad acoustic beauty. It's a deeply personal and eccentric record
created by someone on the edge of an abyss; in reality Higgins was on the
verge of a 3-year sentencing to jail for a marijuana bust. Red Hash, while
not distributed properly upon its release, has kept popping up on WFMU
playlists over the years (and was also recently documented on the
station's blog in detail) and tomorrow (July 27th) Drag City lovingly
reissues this elusive album. To celebrate, Gary has resurfaced and joins
Brian today with the addition of some Red Hash-era band members in tow.
They are: Dave Beaujon: Bass, Graham Higgins: Guitar, Maureen Wells:
Cello, Terry Fenton: Keyboard (not in session, just interview) and of
course Gary on Vocal/Guitar. Songs: Stable of Spuds, Thicker Than a
Smokey. More info at www.dragcity.com. Thank you to Gary & co. Ben, and
especially Zach Cowie for his infinite, continual good deeds to me.

*Some say FD has made them cook at home much more.
*Some say FD uses too much packaging and leaves their trucks idling all over the city.
*Some say logging on for groceries helps them organize their shopping, saves them time and money, and helps them eat healthier meals.
*Some mourn the further disconnection FD has created between consumers and their food.

help! stop the cycle of madness. arnt these big photographs of junk just more junk? the aggregating approach rarely works.
The issue remains in the news thanks in large part to an advocacy group named Landmark West, which went to court to fight the redevelopment and discovered emails between current landmarks commission chairman Robert Tierney and Laurie Beckelman, a former chair of the very same commission who now works for MAD as a kind of "fixer," ushering the 2 Columbus Circle redevelopment through the city approvals process. The emails seem to show the pair colluding to keep the Stone building from being considered by the landmarks panel.bus-ted
Camouflaged in the color of blue sky, an unmanned balloon was launched last month on a simple mission: to capture with its dangling camera the view from 1,400 feet above the future site of the Freedom Tower. The idea was to show potential tenants how much of the world they would see out of their office windows if only they would sign on the dotted line.
"Among the most unusual features, however, are the outdoor teaching spaces scattered around the perimeter of the building where honed black granite walls provide “blackboards” so that science classes can be conducted with a traditional teaching wall, allowing for the cultural tradition so closely identified with Swarthmore’s humanities departments where outdoor classes and seminars have been taught for decades."
As part of these endeavors Solomon has curated "If I Owned the Trenton Bath House," an exhibition that poses this hypothetical question to leading area architects, designers, and other interested parties. Their answers - essays and visual renderings - comprise the exhibit, along with historic photos of the building, at Art's Garage at 326 4th Avenue in Ewing. The show is on view through Thursday, September 22.
