Seems it was a planned series of posts... much collected references, along with short impressions. Berman's Semina Culture seems to have been assigned a Tuesday date. Wonder why I never finished the set.

Wallace Berman,(February 18, 1926 – February 18, 1976 [50]. Key terms in his work: Semina, a mail art publication published between 1955 and 1964, and Aleph, his long term film making project. It runs only 6 minutes, but took him from 1958 til 1976 to make. Stan Brackhage salvaged the 8mm film with a conversion to 16mm to be shown.

He appeared in Easy Rider (1969). Berman died on his 50th birthday, a prediction from childhood. He was killed by a drunk driver.

notions… prescriptions of limited use.. collected, not curated Divert yourself into the much larger world of the recent past. Drive by the encamped Republiguts at the ShakeShack. Snap the band instead of taking a drag off that drivel forum.

books are time travellers, links are not.

and, never open a post with weather.

Picasso’s working phases: the Blue Period (1901-1904), the Rose Period (1905-1907), the African-influenced Period (1908-1909) and Cubism (1909-1919).

” I started painting in blue when I learned of Casagemas’s death”, -Picasso … not based upon the cost of paint; a matter of other choices

““Showing up to everything you can is the first step… talk to the galleries who show work that you like, ask them questions about their program, and learn what they’re interested in. It’s really about continuous engagement with people and building relationships, which doesn’t happen overnight. But, the more you focus on it, the more you start to see those results.”
