I am officially on Spring Break! But, well, no Daytona for me this year — anyway, I burn. I am off to visit my dear dear friend who is studying in Copenhagen tomorrow, and then heading to Berlin for a few days to see the Biennale. Yipee!
I went to the Whitney Biennial
which was, well just as it was described by the New York TImes. I did enjoy the Omer Fast piece, he is so cool. I will always remember seeing his work in “Traveling Scholars” at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in 2001 as I was in college and just learning video.
I was really into the Adam Putnam “Green Hallway (Magic Lantern)” piece. As I am completely engrossed with pre-cinema these days it was wonderful to see another person with similar interests. Speaking of pre-cinema, I can across this amazing blog http://bioscopic.wordpress.com/ this guy is so rad! I don’t even want to admit to how much time I spent earlier this week looking through his archive of wonderful links. I wish I’d seen it when I started building my praxinoscope a few months ago.
To see my praxinoscope, please visit my website www.alixwinsby.com
It has recently been updated by the oh so talented www.georgekotsovos.com , and he takes photos too : www.theworkofgeorgekotsovos.com
I will be gone until the 28th of April. Hopefully I will be too busy to write. In the mean time, do what I do when I procrastinate writing a paper: read Alec Soth’s old blog, it is truly beautiful, too bad he is too busy these days to write.
Well, I’m not entirely sure what ‘rad’ means, but I exect I should be flattered. Glad you like the Bioscope, and I’m mightily impressed by anyone who has made their own Praxinoscope.
