Art Reminds You of Your Daily Humiliation
Newsday headline:
…Randy McKenzie, the owner of Randall’s Firearms, said Mitchell pulled out the box cutter and broke the glass on a couple of display cases.
“He told me if I wasn’t on Terri’s side then I wasn’t on God’s side, either,” McKenzie told The Associated Press.
McKenzie said he then pointed his own gun at Mitchell and ordered him to lie on the ground. But Mitchell fled out the store’s back door before police arrived, he said….

took this shot this morning walking by the garage that’s being torn down on lafayette. eddy’s work is inside on the walls.
the inside of the garage WK’s friend owns. for many years he had work on the garage doors and above the garage (on lafayette next to the vice store). now it’s being torn down. two or 3 years ago he had an opening in the garage and this work is what was inside.

better late than never. everybody say happy belated bday to trudy. these cupcakes were on her face a second later.

Okay, so I was reading the new magazine Anathema which I got at the absurdly fun and nice Anathema magazine party the other night at Tonic (save tonic!). It’s fucking brilliant, I mean really brilliant. And despite the fact that most of the contributors are my friends, the thing I liked best was by a fellow named Nicholas Herman, whom I have never met. His article was a Foucaultian argument about the role of the photography of torture on public memory (Abu Ghraib) and a comparison of the Oubliette (medieval dungeon trapdoor in the floor of a court) with the Camera Obscura (pinhole camera). He then compares and inverts these comparisons. Go get the magazine now.
