Mysteries of San Antonio Street Art, Part 5 or so.
Posted by aaron on 05 Sep 2010 at 10:46 pm | Tagged as: graffiti, public art
I spotted these repetitively-installed images next to the new Eagleland pedestrian bridge on the south side of the river while strolling with my old friend Charles on Friday afternoon. There are a total of three panels as seen in Exhibit 1. Exhibit 2 shows a slightly closer-up view (they are a mounted a good ways above human height) of one of the identical three. They appear to depict a “homeless” or “transient” individual at rest next to his trusty grocery bag, but hey, for all I know it’s the head of the San Antonio Tea Party sitting down to enjoy his petit fours. [Note: if you choose to visit the aforelinked patriots, please pay special attention to their remarkable logo, which I have to thank Mme. Tricia Llanes for pointing out to me.] On consulting with Justin we both see a Scotch!-like cleanness to the work, but neither of us is willing to make a positive ID. They were executed on wooden cabinet doors, possibly with spray paint/stencil or silkscreen methods, and mounting technology appears to consist of white zip ties.

Update 09.08.10 01:41 am: Evidently, the storms of recent days have torn away the upper panel. After some reconnaissance of the area, with no sign of the missing panel (the base of the structure is overgrown with vines of alien origin,) we retreated from further exploration due to federal and state legal statutes regarding trespassing.

um, thanks david, but what does this post have to do with fatal motorcycle crashes?
No relation and a baiting impersonator of this other pointless member.
Anywho, Aaron, what do the other 60+ posts have anything to do with anything on previous posts (rhetorical q…
In any event, let the swarm of rubbish commence:) dz
the answer is that “david” appears to be a legitimate reader (or a spammer for a blog about motorcycle fatalities – sometimes it’s hard to tell, but we do try to get rid of the obvious spam when there’s a free moment.) however, he is not the “pointless member” responsible for placing the 40-60 “rubbish” comments on other posts. we know both the ip and the actual identity of that individual (and in fact have a relationship of sorts with him) and have come to an impasse as to how to handle it. there is a lengthy backstory to all this which i have been debating writing about. keep your eyes peeled and thanks for reading, dz.
Update 09.08.10 01:47am: After reliable sources inform me that “David” was in fact a spambot touting his japanese motorcycle fatalities blog, I have removed the aforementioned comment.

“Envy, lust, sensuality, deceit, and all known vices are the negative, ‘dark’ aspect of the unconscious, which can manifest itself in two ways. In the positive sense, it appears as a ‘spirit of nature’, creatively animating Man, things, and the world. It is the ‘chthonic spirit’ that has been mentioned so often in this chapter. In the negative sense, the unconscious (that same spirit) manifests itself as a spirit of evil, as a drive to destroy.”[4]
Interviewer: Is it important for you to be understood? Anton: That would depend on the context of your question. If I was speaking to a doctor, for instance, and describing a medical condition, I would surely want to be understood. On the other hand, if I was creating a secret code, depending on the situation, then I would hope that certain people would not understand anything.
Sometimes we’d close the door and talk about our life together, and our conversations became more and more frank and honest
It is a fatal mistake to discriminate between the spiritual importance of meditation and playing golf.
The characteristic of her poetry is complete surrender. Her longing for union with Krishna is predominant in her poetry: she wants to be “coloured with the colour of dusk” (the symbolic colour of Krishna).

Anton: This made me recall a story a New York artist told me of visiting Chelsea galleries with a German artist this past weekend and how the German was reluctant to be dragged into one of these exhibitions, saying he wasn’t interested in historical shows. The New York artist and I in discussing this were both surprised. We were highly interested in such shows, which made me wonder if there’s not some significant difference in sensibilities right now between Germany (which is reportedly enjoying a long-over-due [imho] reassertion of its identity and if so, rightly more focused on the future) and the US (or at least New York in particular) which seems to be very much in a reflective mood in many quarters.

Is this a lacuna on the galleries side resulting in them needing to search into the past or is it the collectors finally catching up to these artists? (as in auto dealers migrating their clientele to higher costing models)
The New York gallery world isn’t as fun as it was a couple of years ago. The scene desperately needs new media galleries to replace now closed venues such as Vertexlist and artMovingProjects, and pop-up spaces aren’t going to cut it. Spaces dedicated to creating focused long term exhibition programs are essential the growth of [...]

We don’t have any material value of leisure time, which is extremely valuable to people. We don’t have any way of valuing what these European public goods are really worth. You know, it’s 50,000 dollars for tuition at NYU and it’s zero at Humboldt University in Berlin. So NYU adds catastrophic amounts of GDP per capita and Humboldt adds nothing. Between you and me, I’d rather go to school at Humboldt.
Suppose there were living among my contemporaries a Confucius or a Solon, I could, according to the principles of my faith, love and admire the great man without falling into the ridiculous idea that I must convert a Solon or a Confucius

While this “netfair” approach may seem horrifying to artists, who generally believe (and rightly so) that their work is viewed in its best light in person, I wouldn’t underestimate the power of this model either. As we spend more time online, and buy more products without “seeing” them first, this really seems like more of a natural evolution of the art market. It does seem efficient and cost-effective, and I can see the real benefits for artists as well as collectors, as the web really does open your work to a larger audience. Unlike an artist’s website or other online forum, this netfair model would still provide an element of exclusivity that collectors and gallery artists have come to appreciate.

She keeps a diary, and through it we learn that she’s a widow; she talks to friends on the phone and fills the house with the constant report of news radio, but otherwise her loneliness is interrupted only by visits from daughter Elin (Elin Hamrén) and her boyfriend Marcus (Marcus Harrling).

Perfect slow dance song!
People came by and watched me build walls. The actual product of the activity was not important; rather we focused on the fabric of the relationships among the artist, activity, and (in this case occasional) audience.

…And now, why would I want to publish a Lacanian journal in the U.S.? — Jacques Lacan conceived his theories in French — not much of his work has been translated into English — Jacques Lacan’s work in the U.S. has only been accepted in the fields of Literature, Theory and Art Criticism.
He isn’t a psychologist, or a doctor; I liked that. He underwent an analysis with Lacan. He refers to Lacan as his mentor. Bits and pieces of information — the analysand doesn’t have to know about the analyst. But where was I to study? Some small groups kept gathering and ingathering… but participating in this early development could prove fruitful, but… but… and but.
The “buts” continued into my analysis. Why this need to be in the U.S. begging for knowledge? Not only did he not answer my questions but often he would end the session as well. How to seduce this man into listening to me?… I tried so hard! Irony was no use… Tears to no avail… Intelligence either… Transference was overpowering… too much… too soon: in less than two minutes I hated him as much as I loved him. What was left but to attack him? …but how? I pointed at his computer wrapped in plastic — it looks like a corpse, I said; he made a sudden gesture, he clapped his hands — very good! And so the cut. It was over. I stood up and grumbled — I’m so unsatisfied! Days later his eyes were turning into glass, his arms and legs hanging flaccid from the chair. Was I going to please him, telling him that the corpse was himself? I heard myself saying — Stop it! This, one of his favorite performances, was going to come back on more than one occasion. But the limit was when I learned that he was conducting a seminar at Columbia University… without letting me know! The scene couldn’t wait: I was going to leave my analysis, and go to study in Paris. Finally, the man was reacting!… He claimed to act on behalf of the analysis… its safekeeping… He said that I didn’t accept the timing of its process… that I was breaking a contract! and he gesticulated his displeasure to such a point that I had to laugh. — This one, the ‘last’ session — was lasting over an hour, and I was going to take the liberty of ending it. This time he didn’t laugh… although, confronted with the fait accompli, he threatened me with ‘perhaps’ not wanting to see me again.

7:06 PM joan: yeah i’m sure
i hope i wasn’t obnoxious
7:07 PM haha you can tell me if i was
me: no,
7:08 PM i just thought we didn’t really talk that much
but it’s fine
7:10 PM joan: well i hope you had a good time anyway
7:12 PM me: yeah
you didn’t think it was weird, being at the same party for like 3 hours and not talking to each other
?
i mean
7:13 PM i don’t really care
but it was kind of strange i though
joan: yeah it was
i dunno
i had taken some adderall and it made me really nervous
7:14 PM so i think i was being weird
and i wasn’t sure if you were weirded out by whatever happened the night before
me: well i tried to say hi and start a conversation
it didn’t work so i gave up
joan: so should i apologize?
me: that is kind of how i felt the night before too
joan: i didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable
7:15 PM me: it really doesn’t matter
i mean, we haven’t seen each other in so long
john: yeah
7:17 PM me: i just wanted it to be normal
i thought that would have been nice
joan: i didn’t think it was abnormal
i dunno, we’re not really normal people
7:18 PM me: i mean, like, can’t we just be regular friends
like how other people are friends
joan: i don’t know
7:19 PM i try i think
i dunno is all the blame on me?
me: hahah
of course
jk
7:23 PM but no, i’m sure the blame is on me too
7:25 PM joan: i dunno, no one’s perfect
i still think of you as a friend
and i hope vice versa
so, that’s good enough for me
7:26 PM me: it sounds nice
joan: do you mean to imply that i’m putting a nice veneer on something that’s actually not?
me: no
7:27 PM i meant
it would be nice
john: oh
well, why not?
7:28 PM me: i guess anything’s possible
7:29 PM honestly
7:30 PM i feel like we cannot communicate with each other very well
i could be totally crazy
john: no i agree
i don’ tknow why
we have very different perspectives
i feel like we are always kind of oppositional in conversation
7:31 PM me: i don’t mind that in regular conversations
sometimes
eh
i don’t know
7:32 PM i obviously have some leftover things that i have not dealt with
or tried to but failed
i’m sure it makes me sensitive
john: yeah
and maybe i am not sensitive enough to that
7:33 PM or i have a difficult time dealing with it
me: and i never have any idea about how you ever feel
becuase you never say
and we never were able to have any arguments
or deal with problems
so there was too much always unsaid
plus i was always insecure
7:34 PM and you basically broke my heart
so i was trying to be friends with you
because i felt like that would be better than not
but i dont know
7:35 PM there are still the same problems as before
and we don’t even know each other
anymore
7:36 PM john: so are you saying you don’t want to be friends?
or try to?
me: i don’t know
7:37 PM i’m just saying how i feel
how do you feel
like honestly
we are having an honest conversation
john: honestly i think you’re a really great person
and i enjoy your perspective onlife
but i feel a lot of guilt towards you
7:38 PM and i always feel like there’s some lingeringexpectation that i’ll somehow atone
for not treating you the way i should’ve
and then i feel weird about that because on the one hadn i still feel guilty but on the other that was a long time ago
7:39 PM me: i don;t expect anything from you
7:40 PM you could have at least said something nice to me when we broke up
instead of hurting me more
it is so easy
john: i know
me: and takes like 5 minutes
john: i was an asshole
i probably still am
i’m not good with feelings or women or breakups
7:41 PM me: then fucking get better
try it
right now
unless you have nothing nice to say
7:42 PM i’m sorry i swore
there is a very easy way to get rid of guilt
and that is to appologize
and mean it
7:43 PM john: i feel like i have apologized to you many times
but it has to be accepted to relieve guilt
7:44 PM me: those weren’t real appologies
john: well of what would that consist, for you?
7:45 PM me: hey, listen i’m sorry
for doing this
i really am
i don’t know why i am doing this
john: me neither
7:46 PM i am really sorry for treating you like shit when we broke up
i still think about it
almost five years on
7:49 PM me: i am going to give you the advice i would give you if i was your friend
and this wasn’t about me
because i want to help you
and i have had real apologies that worked
you need to be convincing
7:50 PM write an entire letter or in person
show the person that you really did care
a lot
if you have to talk for half an hour
do it
say it again
maybe once doesn’t do it
7:51 PM 2 sentences will not erase years of hurt
i do not expect you to actually do this with me
because it will seem forced
7:52 PM but if you are ever in this situation again, you know what to do
do not wait on minute longer than you have to
as soon as you realize you have done something wrong apologize immediately
7:53 PM there has to be real emotion and remorse if it is to be convincing
and if there is none, than you cannot really apologize
7:54 PM john: can i ask you something?
me: and if you are so overcome by guilt, that all your feelings are gone, than you have bigger problems
yes
john: do you think i’m a sociopath or something?
me: no
7:55 PM i just think that you never loved me and it was all a lie
or i just interpreted it wrong
7:56 PM and it still makes me feel terrible sometimes if i think about it
because i really loved you
john: i really loved you too
i didn’t have any idea how to show it at that time
7:57 PM me: well you could have said it
thank you
john: for what?
me: for saying it now
7:58 PM john: i’m sorry i didn’t say it then
i was an idiot
me: you did say it but then you took it back
john: i had never been in a real relationship before
me: me neither
7:59 PM john: i had a lot of dumb attitudes i think about what i was “supposed” to do
and i was afraid
and i didn’t get why you liked me so much
and i was always afraid you’d stop
so i think i didn’t want to admit to you how invested i was
8:00 PM me: this is all i ever wanted to hear your know
john: i guess i didn’t
if i’d known i would’ve said it i think
8:01 PM me: yeah
why though
john: why what?
me: oh nevermind
8:02 PM why were you so afraid
you couldn’t have just talked to me?
and said what you thought
8:03 PM john: you know how good i am at expresssing my feelings
and admitting weakness
me: well, you should try it sometime
both of those things
you will feel a lot better
8:04 PM john: yeah i know
i still have a lot of growing up to do
me: you should start doing it
8:05 PM i mean, you are doing it obviously
8:06 PM john: i’m trying
i have this porblem with drinking that really gets in the way all the time
me: gets in the way with what
john: growing up
being a better person
me: do you think so?
8:07 PM john: treating the people i love with the respect and dignity they deserve
me: well drinking affects people differently
but i’m not sure the two things are mutually exclusive
8:08 PM john: i don’t think they are necessarily
i just know that i do a lot of stuff i regret and really screw stuff up
me: plus growing up sounds boring and unfun
i would just do it for yourself
so you can be happier
with yourself
8:09 PM just never do anything again that will make you feel guilty
8:10 PM john: yeah i’m really a pretty unhappy guy
i think i mask it well
then people like me
me: i know
john: or fall in love with me
8:11 PM and then they find out how unhappy i am and i think it drives them away
me: perhaps
why are you so unhappy
john: i have a lot of difficulty accomplishing my goals
8:12 PM i feel like a failure and a fraud and a leech
me: don’t be afraid of failure
john: plus i have a pretty sour outlook on the human condition in general
me: failure is liberating
8:13 PM john: anyway i need to take a shower and go catch a train
me: maybe you have a negative outlook because you are unhappy
john: maybe
i just wish i could let things be simple
8:14 PM me: fail on purpose
and then you wont be afraid of it anymore
8:16 PM john: alright i have to go
i’m glad we talked about this
8:17 PM me: and i mean try and fail
not failing because of a lack of effort
8:19 PM john: i will think that over
anyway goodnight
have a happy weekend
8:22 PM me: you too
assassination is the greatest form of flattery.

Subject: Tpical report from somoene trying to get out of a newage cul
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Croft, My name is R**** ******, I residue in ******, ****** on the
South Central area. My home is about five miles or less from the **** center, *******.
I have been encountering Non-Human entities living around me, and they have done a
great job of keeping me from being able to express anything about them. I need help
please.
In 1989 my dad sent me some books on Sant Maat literature. I was having a hard time
so I read the books and began to follow the group. They contacted me and introduced
me to members of a group here in *****.
January 1990, I was initated into Sant Maat, and began meditating on the Mantras they
gave me. The more I meditated the higher knowledge began flowing to me. I was not
eating meat as this is part of the requirements. After about 13 years I became frustrated
with the head Guru.
I saw him in Chicago, Austin, and Houston. In Chicago he was a very tall Indian, in Austin
he appeared normal height, and in Houston, he was shorter than me and I am 5’4. The
way he spoke in Houston made me realize that something was wrong with this person.
The teaching stated that a true Guru never used the word I or took gifts yet this man did
both. Anyway, I stopped going to the meeting Satsang, as I felt something was not right.
Since learning to meditate I began to see strange people, people who could be tall, then
short, light brown, then dark. I have seen many people who faces have changed in front
of me.
Then I began to notice that the sky at night was full of lights that were not stars. My son,
and grandmother have watched these lights just take off and shoot across the sky and
disappear. Then I noticed last year that what looked like a cluster of stars coming down
to the ground were lit up everynight for about six months. It was if something was being
delivered or taken up. I think they were some type of ships delivering clones. We had
electrical storms at night that had pink lightning, and no thunder when these star lights
were happening.
I know that this sounds funny but I have been trying to tell people I think are human,
about the Non-humans and no one believes me. I turned 52 years old last Saturday,
and I have been bombarded with trouble from these creatures.
Today I tried to copy to a
program (works) pages of how to build a Mobius coil. After getting most of the
information my program locked up. I had to disconnect and shut down the computer.
I tried again and they stopped me.
I have made some orgone with the muffin pan and I want to make something that I can
shoot them with. I made a mix of two with earth magnetics and set them on my front
porch. About a month ago a neighbor down the street who works with the Civic club came
to home to ask me to help pass out flyers. I could see while talking with him that his
real form was showing through. I continued to talk with him and everytime I encounter
one of them I can’t seem to say hey what happened to your face. Its like they can shut
down the senses.
If I am trying to tell someone outside my home in the front yard, about these creatures,
gun shots ring out like a warning to be quite. My phone is tapped, my computer is
tapped, my car is tapped. Sirens go off alot too.My mail is tampered with and I want
to know how to stop these creatures. If you can help me please let me know how.
I tried to sign up with your Etheric Warriors today and a box came up and said that
the administration was not accepting registration. I have been blocked every way I turn.
If you could please help me to understand what is going on I would appreciate it. I want to
stop them.
Thank you
R**** ******

[the sewer rats at the NSA must really, REALLY want you not to read this guy's account, because I just experienced the most intense half hour of hacking in my entire career while attempting to get the preceding report and the following response on EW ;-)
'Love and light,'
~Don]
******, I’ve asked Jacques, our administator, to put a disclaimer on the opening page of EW, stating clearly that this is a private-membership board. Public boards are simply not feasible in this network, unfortunately, so I opted for this a few years ago as a source of information and as a formal record of a sampling of the network’s achievements.
You can contact anyone on EW by simply clicking on his/her username. Dooney gives good, professional coaching to people who want to even the playing field by taking down the predators who harrass us and I hope you’ll contact her at dooney@bluemarbleimages.com. Only a few people seem to be able to just take the information about going after our assailants and put it to work. No weapons or tools are needed but sometimes it’s helpful to use ‘training wheels’ in the form of Powerwands or Succor Punches in the beginning.
Anyone who’s been in a cult such as Sant Maat needs to first cut the connection to the Theosophical hierarchy before he can have personal autonomy. Those initiations you agreed to are pretty invasive and heinous, as you know, and the cults force the development of psychic ability in very inappropriate ways in order to keep their slaves in line.
In Lawrence Weschler’s 1995 essay ‘LA Glows’, he investigated the particular nature of LA light and even found some scientific evidence for the dream-like trance that it can induce.
The most merciful thing in the world… is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
More than that, there are ongoing changes in the every language: new slang or coinages that are easily misunderstood if one doesn’t keep up. Just because someone really, really knew what was happening on the bleeding edge of contemporary art 10 years ago (but then turned to other things) doesn’t mean they’d be the best judge of some new ideas percolating in the studios of Bushwick or Beijing today. One needs to continually interact to remain fluent.
So maybe it isn’t what interests us that has morphed, but more something like the time/effort we need to spend to look for those insights has diminished dramatically, and so we fill that efficiency time void with “mundane” arcana
Little girl, you know that I’ve been watching you

Around and around now, little girl

You’re only wastin’ time, he’s all mine

Though you can try until the night is through
But baby, he ain’t goin’ home with you
So keep on dancin’, little girl
Keep on dancin’, little girl
Around and around now, little girl

Some[who?] read the book as contrasting the nobility of monogamous love with the debased nature of promiscuous love, and suggest that the book is actually a veiled criticism of Solomon, who, according to 1 Kings 11:3, had seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines.

“Hirsch, you’re the Tin Man, aren’t you? You live all up here.” He tapped my forehead gently. His finger was warm. Before I could answer he went on, “You’ve heard this before, Hirsch, a smart dude like you. But you probably haven’t listened to it for years. Listen to it for me this time. Feel it down here.”

Many people in the East … have been to Los Angeles or to San Francisco, have driven through a giant redwood and have seen the Pacific glazed by the afternoon sun off of Big Sur, and they naturally tend to believe that they have in fact been to California. They have not been, and they probably never will be, for it is a longer and in many ways a more difficult trip than they might want to undertake, one of those trips on which the destination flickers chimerically on the horizon, ever receding, ever diminishing.

Eric Laurent recounts of a clinical presentation given by Lacan at Sainte-Anne. The case is a transsexual. Particularly problematic, a colossus with Herculean arms—the arms of Hercules Farnese—he wanted to undergo an operation and have his penis removed in order to finally become a woman. During the entire interview Lacan tried to suggest that his penis might be seen as a giant clitoris, which would spare him the operation, which was quite cumbersome. “This truly amounted, ultimately, to a use of the imaginary to try and treat a Real problem.”
For Pierre-Gilles Guéguen “the man of desire” is nothing by comparison to he who does not yield with regard to the cause that moves him. “We can consider, as Lacan did by the end of his teaching, that this cause is summoned up every time that, that which does not respond to the law, that what is lawless, appears. It takes Freud’s and Lacan’s courage to draw so close to this.”

The hipster has come to epitomize for many what’s seen to be the ridiculousness of taste; and so it struck people who hated Interior Semiotics as no mere coincidence that many audience members in the video were punked out, or gothed up, or otherwise retrofitted.
In opposition to the right order expressed in the concept of Maat is the concept of Isfet: chaos, lies and violence.[9]
Those who argue for argument 1 above are the: George Wesley Buchanan in Biblical Archaeology Review; Smith’s 1863 A Dictionary of the Bible; Section # 2.1 The Analytical Hebrew & Chaldee Lexicon (1848)[9] in its article הוה.
Duncan Alexander: Why have you been specifically interested in the reflective circuit that this “performance for the camera” creates?
they’ll act from this other scene: In this clip, MIT Professor David A. Mindell gives a talk on his book Between Human and Machine: Feedback, Control and Computing Before Cybernetics (John Hopkins University Press, 2002). The power of art to present new ideas and to introduce a new way of seeing things makes art predestined to be a means of changing people’s thinking, there are some interesting insights here.(including psyche).
I Wish Your Wish: when I saw this piece, it reminded me Georgia O’keeffe’s flower series. The combination of red and black, the level of brightness of those was same as O’keeffe color scheme. it is pretty experimental even though I don’t line the square shape’ repetition, but it is pretty fun to permeate both colors each other, and to be mixed.
VG: In California, you bump up against that underground world. It’s inevitable. It’s very secretive, but you all know what’s happening. Physically and culturally, it takes up a lot of space in California, but nobody is able to acknowledge it or look straight at it.
A lot of the imagery and culture of the 1960s and ’70s was about seeking and finding a state of bliss. I see that in your work.

GT: I’m definitely using lots of paradise imagery to express that vein of desire and longing that I’m trying to talk about. I love using star imagery, because it has that great history of navigation, but it is so oddly cryptic and endless and infinite. I use lighters a lot. In one painting, I have a hand holding a joint, and a hand holding a lighter. I love the idea of you and me getting together and having the components to feel intoxicated—literally, and also that the combination of you and me can be intoxicating. I’ve always thought that “you and me” was the most erotic combination of words.
What do you mean by ‘crisis of the unit of measure’?:
So when you started you weren’t using computers at all, right?
So you see only a formal parallel? Do you think there is a historic evolution in this formal parallelism and can there be any interaction between form and content?:
No, right it was all film.
As new rules?:
Wow, that’s amazing.
Do you mean: rules to organize the standard?
TM: Yeah, the process gave me so much respect for artists who were making animation before computers.
I sometimes get invited to talk about art at conferences or seminars organized by art academies and that always embarrasses me a little, as if there has been some mistake, because my knowledge of modern art is actually very limited. I think that people involved in art being interested in my work has something to do with a concept I use, namely ‘virtuosity’.

The film ends with the couple meeting the marriage counselor again, where the Smiths state how much their marriage has thrived and how happy they really are.
They are the second most-followed contemporary artists on Twitter after Yoko Ono and in my opinion, she engages her audiences in some of the most compelling and engaging social media art projects. However, to English-speaking audiences, by the far the dominant group on Twitter, her tweets fly past with not even a sense to how to pronounce them.
Hope things are well in Miami!
I understand what your saying (writing) Two steps forward one big step back.

Hi! I’m Julia Stroud and I work in the prep department. I thought I’d tell you a little about the creation of the ushebti wall in the new Egyptian galleries.
She speaks about Cartesian (from Descartes). The cartesian coordinate system. Opposed to Einstein’s model (relativity) where there are more Dimensions than 3 in the universe (the 4th dimension was a huge debate for the Avantgarde in the early XXth century) and every object has its own origin point.
I do love you
People are imperfect. The mind is insatiable. That is why we need to practice restraint to be free

Freud then proceeded to look for ‘evidence, for the existence of hitherto unsuspected forces “beyond” the pleasure principle’[9]

Cocteau: Well, in spite of those differences we were both interested in the same painters and, for instance, we were both friends of Picasso’s, although he kept outside our conflict and somehow dominated it.
Aragon: Or, rather he was at its very center
Cocteau: Yes, Picasso was the eye of our cyclone.

Q: Describe the work that you do. What forms has the work taken? When its form has changed, what were some of the reasons for the change?
A: Somehow it’s fitting that one of the largest holdings of Paul Thek’s art is in the collection of the archbishop of Cologne.
The philosophy centres around the ideas of balance through opposites and acceptance of change.

Linda Ronstadt took the song to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 … is a synonym for a fastball, a pitch that “blew by you. …
erein, perhaps, lies the secret: to bring into existence and not to judge. If it is so disgusting to judge, it is not because everything is of equal value, but on the contrary because what has value can be made or distinguished only by defying judgment. What expert judgment, in art, could ever bear on the work to come?

“Phoebe” (Barbara Bates), as she calls herself, answers the door to Addison who has returned with Eve’s misplaced award. While Eve rests in the other room, Phoebe tries on Eve’s wrap and poses in front of a mirror holding the award. The mirrors transform her into countless images of herself.

Thiess was steadfast in his assertions, claiming that werewolves in Germany and Russia also did battle with the devil’s minions in their own versions of hell, and insisted that when werewolves died, their souls were welcomed into heaven as reward for their service.

Like Picasso,” wrote Henry Miller in 1946 of his friend Patchen, “he makes use of everything. The innovator and initiator are strong in him….One is no longer looking at a dead, printed book but at something alive and breathing, something which looks back at you with equal astonishment. Novelty is employed not as seduction but like the stern fist of the Zen master to awaken and arouse the consciousness of the reader.”
One of the more notable uses of this meaning is found in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In this story is the Emerald City, where everyone wears tinted glasses which make everything look green. According to the populist interpretation of the story, the city’s color is used by the author, L. Frank Baum, to illustrate the financial system of America in his day, as he lived in a time when America was debating the use of paper money versus gold.[47] Green can communicate safety to proceed, as in traffic lights.[2] In China, green is associated with the east, with sunrise, and with life and growth.[48] In Thailand, the color green is consider auspicious for those born on a Wednesday day (light green for those born at night .)[49]
in her system called the Seven Rays which classifies humans into seven different metaphysical psychological types, the “third ray” of “creative intelligence” is represented by the color green. People who have this metaphysical psychological type are said to be “on the Green Ray”.[71] In Hinduism, Green is used to symbolically represent the fourth, heart chakra (Anahata).[72] Psychics who claim to be able to observe the aura with their third eye report that someone with a green aura is typically someone who is in an occupation related to health, such as a physician or nurse, as well as people who are lovers of nature and the outdoors.[73]

From an interview with Jacques Vallee by Jerome Clark (FATE magazine, 1978):
Vallee: I think that’s exactly what we have to do with UFOs. We have to do something that will cause them to react. And I don’t mean building landing strips in the desert and waiting out there to welcome the space brothers.
Clark: But what do you mean?
Vallee: I hesitate to be too specific. I’m speaking, as I’m sure you understand, of the attempted manipulation of UFO manifestations.
Re: Charles Babbage, FRS (26 December 1791 – 18 October 1871)[1] was an English mathematician, philosopher, inventor and mechanical engineer who originated the concept of a programmable computer.[2] Considered a “father of the computer”,[3] Babbage is credited with inventing the first mechanical computer that eventually led to more complex designs.[4]
Because the definition of a romance novel does not limit the types of plot devices, time frames, or locations that can be included, the genre has grown to encompass a wide variety of material and spawned multiple sub-genres. Sub-genres of romance are often closely related to other literature genres, and some books could be considered a romance subgenre novel and another genre novel at the same time. For example, romantic suspense novels are often similar to mysteries, crime fiction and thrillers, and paranormal romances use elements popular in science fiction and fantasy novels.
Contemporary romance
Main article: Contemporary romance
Contemporary romance, which is set after World War II,[27] is often what people mean when they refer to a romance novel. Contemporary romance novels—the largest sub-genre—are set in the time when they are written, and usually reflect the mores of that time. Heroines in contemporary romances prior to 1970 usually quit working when they marry or have children—while heroines after 1970 usually have, and keep, a career.[28] As contemporary romance novels have grown to contain more complex plotting and more realistic characters, the line between this sub-genre and the genre of women’s fiction has blurred.[29]
