Eva Hesse, No Title, 1964
Comment by violet — December 16, 2009 @ 10:22 am
I’m still thinking about gravity and different senses of gravity with Balka and Hesse.
Gravity in retrospect with Hesse because of what we know, but with Balka, how to approach the question of gravity.
Comment by Chris Sands — December 16, 2009 @ 12:07 pm
What do we know about Eva Hesse’s gravity Chris?
I don’t think I know it.

Has Sol become Sil?
Eva Hesse’s work had a profound effect on me as a young art student and at the time it was her sculpture that I noticed. Later on her death at such a young age touched me. The sculpture, that is her late sculpture, seemed about possible connections, with gravity playing an important part. When she fought a brain cancer, the work seemed even more poignant and the gravity of her situation, seemed ever so slightly mirror by a contingent gravity evident with her sculpture. I felt her loss and remember the moment very well.

Sol became Sil after Lucky became Locky… between you and me Chris, I think with Lucky it was a slip, not with Sol — she may be parodying Lucky
Funny enough both of them had to be allowed in again, as all new users do.

Well you have to be careful!

Akismet is the name of the one doing the miracle…
Comment by admin — December 17, 2009 @ 11:33 pm
I was being silly and forgot to change it back
in my computer. More of an appreciation
of Lucky’s Locky than a parody.
Comment by sol — December 18, 2009 @ 6:21 am
I may not know enough of Lucky’s Locky, can you tell me about it, Sol?
Comment by violet — December 19, 2009 @ 10:27 am
instead of the horseshoe of luck
he had an ‘o’ closed up
Luck is important in any case don’t you agree?
Comment by sol — December 19, 2009 @ 10:08 pm
of course sol, I see what you mean with the “o” being enclosed distinct from the “u” being open and receptive…
luck is important… specially because it isn’t a given you better be open to let it reach you, hold it in
Comment by violet — December 21, 2009 @ 1:59 am
Nice to see Eva at the top and nice what you say at the end Violet, and the thought perhaps that you are saying something about love too
Comment by Chris Sands — December 21, 2009 @ 5:43 am
Don’t know about you Chris, but violet is always saying something about love, ‘the active gift’, to me.
Happy Holy days to you violet and you Chris, and silly and locky and perfume and all. Thank you so much. May the next decade come to be known as a golden one
Comment by jampa — December 22, 2009 @ 9:25 pm
Yes, Happy Holy days as jampa spells… to all and especial ones to you jampa and to you Chris, and to you silly and to you locky and to the readers we don’t get to talk to. Thanks to all, next decade will be a golden one!
Comment by perfume — December 23, 2009 @ 4:13 pm
Best wishes for all Holy days and the holey ones as well
to Jampa, Chris, violet, Lucky Locky, rupert, perfume and
the silent ones.
Especially best wishes for your recovery
Chris.
Thanks all for all the words.

(can la) violetta? felice navidad? On the good doctor’s silence, the world turns and still unravels. such quiet and patience.
in a world where nothing can be left unspoken, no wondser the visitors have nothing to say
Comment by jampa — December 26, 2009 @ 5:07 pm
felice navidad, yes jampa, sounds lovely in Italian… !
Comment by violet — December 27, 2009 @ 10:59 am
how is it going Chris, healthwise I mean?
Comment by violet — December 27, 2009 @ 11:17 am
Sol, what I cannot spot are the holey ones……. who are they?
Comment by violet — December 27, 2009 @ 6:49 pm
Days with holes in them, gaps, blunders, slips
and mysteries, all of them!
Comment by sol — December 27, 2009 @ 11:27 pm
sol – like in the yellow submarine… remember those white floors with holes?

sol…that is the most beautiful Holy days card, thank you!
Comment by violet — December 28, 2009 @ 6:41 pm
my pleasure
Comment by sol — December 29, 2009 @ 4:31 am
re 20 thanks Violet
Have reached last few days of treatment and after New Years Eve it will be all over.
I feel well and am at the moment more of less free of side effects of radiotherapy.
On a quite personal level, it’s been an extraordinary time.
A time of some happiness and renewed optimism …
Comment by Chris Sands — December 29, 2009 @ 9:43 am
That’s good news Chris, great to hear!
Happy New Year
Comment by sol — December 30, 2009 @ 12:28 am
thanks Sol!
Have noticed again that Allen Ginsberg seems stuck on the messageboard.
What a howl as one year thinks about turning towards another.
It might call for a particular resolution
Comment by Chris Sands — December 30, 2009 @ 8:27 am
Is that like a needle at the end of a record, everytime you wake up there it is, despite the booze and drugs, the reality of the really real quotidian, less howling than whimpering into the new year until you throw a shoe at it… then the ticking of the bloody clock. Like sol’s holey mysteries, or the vaguaries of this new keyboard, even the pause between ticks makes you itch…
Comment by happy new year from jampa — January 1, 2010 @ 2:15 pm
It must have been an extraordinary time Chris — much as you achieve success in the very fact of saving your life…
very nice to read that after New Year’s Eve it will be all over
A Very Happy New Year 2010 to you Chris and A Very happy New Year 2010 to the rest of us who love Chris and want his prompt recovery!
Comment by violet — January 1, 2010 @ 10:17 pm
thank you Violet.
Comment by Chris Sands — January 3, 2010 @ 1:26 pm
the moment of treatment
is of course not what you expect,
but even more surprising was meeting
someone and going on to see more of
her (at a time like this) …
Comment by Chris Sands — January 3, 2010 @ 1:33 pm
love and luck!?
Comment by sol — January 3, 2010 @ 7:54 pm
now we know what it was that cured you Chris…such a blessing!
Comment by violet — January 4, 2010 @ 2:25 pm
now is your winter love (not of our discontent)
so warm
is there art to be made of such ?
Comment by jampa — January 7, 2010 @ 2:51 am
I feel still in the middle of some pausing for thought and with it comes looking at work. Most things stopped during a long treatment, but still did a little writing and filmmaking. The reserve I have about what comes out of this, feels a part of everything else. If its starting up anywhere now, the starting up might have to do with looking after not knowing what to do next. Wanting to look after something but not knowing (too much) what to do next or what to do with the first part of a video and what the second part might be like … !?

37 sounds like dating to me! x
Comment by jampa — January 8, 2010 @ 12:16 pm
! nice re reading
Comment by sol — January 11, 2010 @ 9:06 am
I like this sentence:
‘Myself, I am preoccupied with knowing if works of art delight in being looked at all day long’
(from text called ‘A Dream of Eternity’ by Gerard Wajcman p.133 Lacanian Ink 34)
Comment by Chris Sands — January 13, 2010 @ 6:37 am
it’s a good thing works of art can look back
Comment by violet — January 18, 2010 @ 4:13 am
But I think Gerard Wajcman asks another question which I interpret in terms of something disconcerting: do works of art want to be looked at day in and day out? And does new practice sometimes reflect new privacy, which moves away from the work always being a subject (privacy) despite the gaze (am thinking of sem. X1)?
