Ah, has anyone told you that – you’re too much, Marco legerus (sounds like a Roman xcenturion, no re to Barbars) now onto Barber E
Goldslinger theme - 26
performance- it was a strange day today
as I’ve just got Perec’s EEE book (Espèces d’espaces) and bunch of other videos..
but barber’s got it wrong when he said “about Brecht ( is) that you could see the apparatus, so there’s no illusionistic distancing”
just the contrary (see Innis, etc etc)- brecht was for the intellectual distance, so the whole theater of Images (via Foreman) comes from him, he didn’t want to bother the spectator in any way--
and it was Piscator who was for “no illusionistic distancing”.. PLEASE!! i f you want me to write a text for you- a painfully correct la Sorbonne type of info has to go into yr book.
And i don’t think that Julie Delpy’s lovely image goes with me.. Yeah, I am really sweet and naive
but more like that image downhere (sort of VEEERY determined) and always agreeing with you! yes!
Thank you so much, Marc- you really ma Image: [next page]

well, this E was not written for the book on [performance] so that is just as well then given that bruce got it backwards - judith malina sent me something on Piscator for volume 1 and i should get to know my dramaturgs better that’s for sure - in the semiotexte book on Müller he says just days before the wall came down that he thinks it will never come down, so that must have taken everyone by surprise, especially the wall - which is, you know, gone

there is a true sandwich story there that actually happened where Here Comes Everybody was dropped at the start of Marxism and Urban Culture (to which Cayley and me contributed an essay on psychogeography and protest marches) that i found a little bit planted and then the former editor of Parachute invited me to Dora Garcia’s Finnegan’s Wake reading group at which I was sentenced to pharmakon as usual - but this should be extended into a monologue or a memoir which is one thing i don’t have in me - my guess is it’s mostly all on tape, or in this email, which is somehow involution of the convolution

oops, a year later in Dec 2013 where the images were supplied (that is a film in the background by Godard’s right hand, Lou Kokowski, simply called the Film.
But Lou went to see him last year and found him in a very poor state , impoverished in a village in Switzerland i love that man (Godard) and often see myself as a silly version of Ana Karina where I stroll through the Alphaville of New York and Paris and London and Belgrade looking for people “who did not forget how to cry”, but is that Uncle big Art? is it.. AG? I don’t know,
but I totally agree with you when you say that a “provisional definition of an AG artist can be his acceptance of NO aesthetic criteria”, as exemplified and “taught ” by Duchamp

that there are no guarantees for the social importance of artworks therefore it goes without saying
and perhaps the artist should not really worry about the importance (once he understood that he’s got only his walk along the narrow
“passage from creativuty to consequences”..
Well, he shd be balanced out.. sort of so as not to confuse this absence of social importance for his deep Desire (yes Lacan)for air and airy abstraction
which some of us imbeciles call “l’art pour l’artism” etc etc..
here’s my video..
no, wait, i have to use the We trasfer i guess it’s really heavy;o Image: [next page]

now i see.. it’s almost.. 3 am in Paris and I’ve been reading Marc J Léger all night long-- which is a much nicer task indeed that going back to Schleiermacher,
althogh some people might say “it’s the same thing but upside down”
however, as a former member of the Living theater—I’m always for “the Living” and the dead authors.. well, we admire some of them, don’t we?
but hard to keep up with that dialogue!
I may be going back to my violin, luckily, have veeery good neighbors (they never complain when i play)
hasta la vista y muchos besos

aaaa, now i’m really going to cry-- as I had sold my coffret with all his films (Jonas Mekas)- i was THAT hungry
and that was before i signed my bancrupcy act and sold my apartment..
but his retro at the Serpentine was really great, this i remember and i am glad that everything stays in my head, sort of stuff you cannot sold or buy, certain types of memories..

i have an answer to this artist poor artist idea (ars gratia artis, just in time for the Oscars) but i,m not saying it straight out - but you have more in my writings in terms of the basic structure - and am still developing this aspect --- yes, we love Ana Karina as perhaps JLG/JLG could not or only as he would have liked us to

not at all, the sad truth Marc is-- that i am a mutant, a replicant escaped from that old movie by Scott(?)
brilliant! - 34
see, my head is full of movies, extended paintings in movement as i call them,
my father was a director of the national museum, a really cultured guy, but a bloody perfectionist..
he wanted me to describe, write down every image i see in galleries etc since age 5..
i adored him and hated, both, as he was my “missing father”, a point addressed in a long analysis i undertook a couple of years ago

yes, we were all the children of Marx and Scott but because of him we were not allowed to forget it –i used to work in two national museums so i understand completely
but I have to go for now xena, the warrior photocopy machine
