me & rubes walking home, originally uploaded by antlered.
This was the best week ever because Rubin visited me from Canada and James and Seb were here from Wales on their way home. It’s good to have visitors because it gets you out of the house. On Monday Dark Dark Dark played at Zebulon and so many people I love to bits came through. Ben Mortimer and Kara Blossom even showed up fresh off the plane from Berlin. Yesterday was the first gathering of a new raft project. SO good to see everyone in one place. I even got to see Governor’s Island AND Katharine AND Laura AND Duncan. Governor’s Island has an amazing installation by Anthony McCall.
This was Dark Dark Dark’s encore of Trouble No More with everyone singing along:
Also, some very important squirrel-related updates HERE. Marc the squirrel man is verifying that he is indeed the feeder and friend of Columbia University squirrels, though there are some who would claim he is a liar. This would, however, be proven wrong as of late. Note the proof below:

Anthony McCall
Anthony McCall’s work encompasses three distinct sets of practices: the sculptural, the pictorial, and the cinematic. Consisting of two elegantly simple light projections, Between You and I expands on the two basic components of cinema-time and light-in order to create a spectacular, immersive environment. As the projected light beams slowly travel through mist, they begin to carve out sculptural shapes in space. The fields of light interact with one another, the visitors in the space, and the striking architecture of historic St. Cornelius Chapel. Though the two shapes never meet, they are in a constant play-suggesting that, like two human companions, they attempt to comprehend themselves in relation to one another.
