a runway legend read her poetry.

To the TSA, from the man who created the USPS . . .

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

"Free" Sunsets @ New Museum

Lisa Oppenheim's 35-mm slideshow projection, The Sun is Always Setting Somewhere Else (2006) is a sublime highlight of FREE at The New Museum.

Like the 22 other artists in the show, Oppenheim appropriates digital ephemera from online, in this case, sunsets in Iraq taken by U.S. soldiers and posted on Flickr, and incorporates it into her non-virtual 35-mm slideshow, which clicks away softly against a white wall, capturing their photos of the sun going down against her ocean horizon . . . Go see FREE . . . it's up until January 23, 2011.

Pathetic Newsreel, November 4, 2010

Shot while flipping through channels.
Trying to find something,
anything,
to rid the mind
of the recent shellacking
and the soon-to-be-daily usage of
"House Majority Leader John Boehner."
