Hi, I'm poster. I'll be posting announcements and other unattached things here from now on so murphy can concentrate on his own work. If you want something posted send an email to post@thing.net and I'll think about it. If you want to send me spam, bring it on, I love it. I'm an intern so I'll put up with anything.
Love,

Congratulations are in order for Matthew Coolidge, director of the Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI) and winner of the 2006 SAAM Lucelia Artist Award. The Center is a bold choice, if only for the obvious fact that an institution is a tricky pick for an artist award. But that’s what makes Coolidge’s organization such a compelling project—CLUI straddles the borders distinguishing artist and collective, observer and activist, micro and macro.
Trying to measure something like the success of Art Dirt Redux is rather difficult. I look at it as an artwork that Rob Murphy sometimes collaborates on with me. I do see it as a media art piece. When Rob and I walk around and look at galleries there is an art history and aesthetic discourse, a shared language of conventions. When I start to edit and layer the sound it is after the fact in the studio. The audio recorder is a dumb instrument or maybe a disinterested third party. It records all things equally. It doesn’t filter out background noise or zoom in on someone’s voice the way the human mind and ear do. What it does is present me with a way to read alternative ways of hearing and present those in the final edited piece.
rantapod-020Americans have become monsters led by their Chief President Monster George W. Bush. Americans have become a country of cheats and liars lead by their President George W. Bush the top cheat and liar. Americans, aren't you disgusted with yourselves? What happened to the bright beacon of hope? Will you continue to let all the greedy lying power mad people, greedy corporations and their toadies manipulate you? wake up. Clean yourself up. Get rid of these monsters before it's too late.
An Unreal Anit-War Love Story - The Musical.
This crew wanted to take one of the most violent, sick, fun games of all time--with all its weirdly oversexed-looking characters--and turn it into something else.

How sad for America. Instead of reality, the majority of Americans believe TV propoganda. That is the incredible sadness of America. It has lost touch with concrete reality. It prefers the false spectacle of the screen. It's people can be told any sort of lie and they will believe it as truth.
Saturday before Easter was unseasonably warm and sultry. The art troops were out in Chelsea en masse, and in their shirtsleeves. I returned to Gladstone to seek closure in my discussion of Barney. I made a final visit to The Occidental Guest.
