Winter Re-Run :: The Welding: Bride's Song - I'll Cut You if You Cut and Run

As promised, some documentary footage from the alternative wedding I helped produce and direct with my now-welded-together-forever pals Carol and Steve.

The song -- "I'll Cut You if You Cut and Run" -- was written by Carol and me - the bride's lyrics to my music - and was played by Brooklyn's Hungry March Band the day following the blackout of August 2003.

What a beautiful nightmare it was.

More footage from "The Welding" perhaps forthcoming. This serves as part of the collection of sketch /trailer footage I've made toward producing "The World's Longest Open Love Letter" film.

Wish me luck.

Again.

When I boot up my phone it says, "Try Again," which are words captured from inside a bottle top by an artist whom I know by the name of H.D. I bought the print from her. Perhaps it's time to hang the art collection. Again.

"Try Again."

I'm just saying.

Faux Press Credentials :: Front

An early edition of Faux Press Credentials. Vol. 1, No. 1.

A prop for "The Faux Parade".

These press passes were published 2/14/00.

As we approach Valentine's Day, it seems appropriate to revisit this piece. All of these are unsigned and but for this one, in the wild.

Jewelry. Art (it's framed, after all). Advertising. Poetry. Short story. Prop.

Metaphrasty.

Film = Sculpture = Architecture


Revisiting some motion pictures that were at one point or another diverted to VHS.

Thanks to Ms. Jen Simmons and an eyetv 250 Plus, I'm able to digitize and revisit that footage.

It has an interesting if dated quality.

This offers a director's commentary on three early motion pictures. Below links are to the original, unadulterated works:

"Yoing" - written by Mikki LeMoine

"Mommie's Coming Back" - written by Jan McLaughlin

"The Psychic Poets Show" - written by Jan McLaughlin

The first two were originally shot on 35mm black & white stock - the same stock that Spielberg's 1993 "Schindler's List" was shot on. Our production performed pre-Schindler Beta tests for Kodak.

The other - "Psychic Poets" - was shot to a Beta deck.

Have lost touch with a lot of these people.

No regrets.

Realize I've been fascinated by advertising for a very long time.

POST NOTE: It Was Arnold Newman & John Singer Sargent


[Arnold Newman - 13 Images]
[Arnold Newman in Florida - by Bruce Weber]

Remembered the name of the photographer of whom I spoke earlier [below podcast].

Arnold took my husband's portrait for the catalog of the Newman in Florida show. I see Bruce's book's gone up in value: from free to $100.

Had the great pleasure of dining with Arnold and his wife - a woman who fought - shot & killed - in the 1968 war in Israel. How do you ever contain that ferocity once unleashed? A gentle soul.

They were - are? - so very fucking strong, those two, and gracious hosts. Their walls floor-to-ceiling with art. High ceilings there were - a full two stories - with an enormous north-facing sky light.

I prefer south light for the beauty of the passing of it and its seasonal variations that tell me where and when to shoot. It's always different, and an altogether marvelous diversion.

Ran into Arnold on the street one day as I was filming something-or-other and it seems to me that I was in some kind of wacky wardrobe. No. It was that I'd recently shaved my head and there he was. He didn't say a word about it.

Now I see that Arnold's gone.

I take a minute to mourn his passing.

Reading the obituary I see that Augusta survived him.

Arnold did EVERY-FUCKING-BODY. You know his work.

Do you imagine we had some rousing conversations about art at dinner and as he stayed in West Palm Beach to shoot images of it, revisiting his early career as an itinerant beach portrait-maker.

Studying his portraits through the years invested my eyes more than I knew.

Here's some John Singer Sargent for ya. Also an itinerant portrait painter.

I do not claim to be an artist; art claims me.

Let me come for a visit & take your portrait in video.

I come from a time-honored tradition of itinerant portrait painters and had some of the BEST teachers up close and personal.

Studied with the best in fine fine art, poetry, film, sound, dance, philosophy, illustration.

Study is of course ongoing.

It's quite an internet salon we got goin' on, yo.

Good news - as a film maker - is forthcoming. Keep your ears peeled.

Ms. Sanders speaks succinctly & softly to wounds and healing through art & consciousness.

Difficult to visualize the body as sacred.

Orgasm as sacred.

Whew.

Working on a video art piece that deals with body image and will post tomorrow.

SPOILER: In the meantime, if you're squicked by gentle, soothing words on the subject of the body, you should not play this fine piece.

Ancient wisdom.
