Direct response political…

then onto a Bella Tarr film. I did take a brief moment away from communist Hungary by watching the 1971 film Antonio Lopez: Sex, Fashion + Disco. A freewheeling + captivating ride. The screen is always visually full of artist’s work. Unlike a documentary of a musician, where it’s like - it sounds lovely but, ok, he’s sitting at the piano. AGAIN. sorry. 

+ a fleeting memory of shop talk in a Chelsea cafe w/ Antonio. Trying not to stare, as i noticed he had egg in his mustache, + not forgetting it to this day.

I’m having a moment of catching up with recent memories. The fam went out a few times over the new year. One was to attend a classical quartet at the jewel of a building in downtown Asheville. We were horrified, not by the music - that was wonderful, but by the audience's behavior. They were stomping + woo-wooing + singing along to the holiday music as if Pete Seeger invited them to. Didn’t ruin our experience, but we had a huge laugh about it afterwards out in the street. But, honestly - do folks not know how to ACT during a classical performance anymore? I was brought up w/ the impression you don't even BREATH until the silence between the musical movements. It didn't help that the promoters said photos were ok.

And here, some images of to+fro for the Monsters at Play install at the Museum of Outdoor Arts Denver. While driving through Missouri and the other ones. If i’d had someone riding shotgun i would've had them prove their love by getting out of the car to pump the gas while driving through Kansas.
