I am reminded of the time you said

When you start working, everybody is in your studio -- the part, your friends, enemies, the art world, and above all, your own ideas -- all agree there. But as you continue working, they start leaving, one by one, and you are left completely alone. Then, if you're lucky, even you leave.

I am reminded of the time you said

the concept of reciprocal altruism allows us to explore what it means to be human and to live in a humane society. Recognition of the significance of reciprocal altruism for the survival of a culture makes us aware of how dependent we are on each other. Sacrifices and giving, the stuff of altruism, are necessary ingredients for human cooperation, which itself is the basis of effective and thriving societies.

I am reminded of the time you said

Enthusiastic owners of property. Owners of a piece of their country--a stake in the land. This was a sturdy but finally unsupportable ambition, sustained for forty years by good times and the good will of the federal government.
This is in fact the tacit dissonance at the center of every moment in _________ {call it post world war II America}, which is why the average day there raised, for the visitor, so many and such vertiginous questions:
What does it cost to create and maintain an artificial ownership class?
Who pays?
Who benefits?
What happens when that class stops being useful?
What does it mean to drop back below the line?
What does it cost to hang on above it, how do you behave, what do you say, what are the pitons you drive into the granite?

Always thinking of you

Two #drams of #coffee #infused #scotch #and a splash of #fernet over ice pairs perfectly with a long weekend, a chilly day, a cup of black coffee, and a #studio day of #drawing #speculative #universe-scale #sculptures. #publicsculpture #EbM #publicart #sculpturegardenearth #sculpturegardensolsystem  #sculpturegardenmilkyway

For a year or more I have been wondering how EbM might turn these river plinths into the Chicago equivalent of the Fourth Plinth in London. That is a plinth in Trafalgar Square left barren originally due to a lack of funds. The other three plinths in the square have classic statuary. The fourth was vacant for 150 years (thanks Wikipedia) because of bureaucracy. For much of the past two decades, however, it has served as a public forum for contemporary sculpture. It is a lovely project. Now, with the High Line announcing the addition of a plinth intended for similar purposes, I am sharing my vision of these beautiful plinths as homes to temporary, contemporary sculpture in Chicago. Imagine our beautiful rivers alive with artworks!!

One of the many original aspects of Ours Is Not The Only Planet Earth Has Been was declaring these plinths near Ballroom Projects (and easily accessible) as guerilla fourth plinths. We had enough on our plates at the time, so that never actually manifested...

Another addition for our Fourth Archive, The Archive of Failure.
