notes on movement & intonation

1. Movement from the immediate environment working with alternate audio source.
Watching fish swim around in a fish tank while listening to Creeley reading his poem “Anger” on ubu.com/sounds.

2. Watching videos on Youtube while listening to poetry.

3. Listening to Vito Acconci read “The Bristol Project” while watching Nintendo weather channels.

3. Watching runway fashion shows while listening to poetry.

4. Watching t.v. shows on Youtube while listening to poetry.

5. Watching scenes from films, starting anywhere, while listening to poetry.

6. Sitting in a restaurant and watching people while listening to poetry.

7. Watching short footage of productive sewing machines while listening to music and poetry.

8. Music which works as background for poetry to enhance cadence.

9. Not being able to record moments of synchronicity.

10. Letting go of synchronicity to allow more room for synchronicity to occur.

11. A practice which doesn’t require attachment to its own practice.

12. Allowing for pure synchronicity to emerge; this is where beauty appears in pure form.

13. Synchronicity is controlled to the extent of allowing two or more mediums occur.

14. No control of both mediums whatsoever.

15. Staying open and attentive to incongruencies between sound & image.

16. There is no incongruency.

17. It is always unfolding another sensation.

18. Poetry serves to narrate the readymade moving image.

19. The moving image is sometimes neutral; a kind of wallpaper open to any content and intonation.

20. The poem is open too.

21. Movement (moving image) & Intonation ( poem) = Content

22. Content is not fixed, always shifting according to movement & intonation.

23. Form and content depends on synchronicity.

24. Through the juxtaposition, the poem performs on its own and unfolds for the viewer.

25. Form and content limited and expanded by time.

poem to be read with Chanel fashion show 3

After M.C. Creeley’s anger

Is it your anger,
then, the one you’ve
made us listen to, not
one involved, whose
face if not the cry
or close breathing, what
you give to the world.
Which sun was wrong
to come on? Love, no
not the way you’ve said
it, meant it and made familiar
for the rest of us to save,
a clutter of not enough.
Something I know
is black, the pit
not wanting to
be pulled in; it cannot
pull an expression
double or split.
You say who did what,
not a rage, but
one done to be wrote,
I do not see the cry;
the self sight which
returns, not giving
but what life
was it we were
talking about;
It’s true that
all I say I want
to do to myself,
I do to others,
when you face me
as a floor, as a hole
in the wall.

Prelude to a having fun with a Canvas-Chair

Been putting together small canvases and
assembling them as furniture models. It
started in July 2005 with making a box,
then moved towards a tiny bed, desk, couch, chair.
But now having the desire to make them life-size.
So I will go ahead and assemble a chair. Also
looking into repetition, production of readymade canvases,
"clinical" whiteness, anxiety & convenience of
being able to purchase a canvas to "paint" on.
And because I can't paint, there's a desire to build
out of them, though limiting and costly.
But that's just it! To buy buy buy & build build build,
though its mostly already been built for you.
Without too much emphasis on that, it also just
looks fun, stark white and factory made.
Utrecht+Ikea= canvas furniture.
