ART MINI MANIFESTO
Art Mini is the NEW model for the NEW art fair. It is the red triangle to your white square. It is THE art fair of art fairs. The one true fair. The art fair that will RULE them ALL. One fair to find them, One Fair to bring them all and in the darkness blind them. Art Mini is for an art fair that is for artists. Art Mini is For Artists By Artists. FA-BA. Bahh. Bahh. Bahh. The wolf cried sheep until it turned into one. Bah-h-h-h-h. Humbug to the dealers guarding the gates. Artists should be their own MISERS. THIS sheep cries Wohlf Wohlf Wohlf. Like a car alarm when you're trying to sleep: BEEEEP-BEEEEP-BEEEEP WOOO-WOOO-WOOO-WOOO-WOOO EEEE-AHHH EEEE-AHHH WYO-WYO-WYO-WYO ANGH-ANGH-ANGH-ANGH. Art-Mini-Soixante. Art Mini, Qu'est-ce que c'est? Art Mini, just once, let me look upon you with my own eyes. No, I am your father. In the art fair is truth. One of the most striking signs of the decay of art--take your pants off--is the art fair. TEH MARKET RULZOR. But not necessarily in that order. All rights reserved. Access code 404. All Your Art Fair ARe BeLOng To uS. Don't be such a hydrophobic, Join the Art Mini is your destiny. /misc permanent link

The bio, statement and instructions for 'Random Access Poetics' at Vertexlist
_NAME_ Lance Wakeling _TITLE_ IMAGE RESEARCH* _STATEMENT_ Without crawlers roaming the internet and archiving links, images, and keywords, no one would have any idea how to find anything online. Search engines rely on crawlers to traverse links and chart the internet; spammers need them to harvest email addresses. My crawler makes 'slideshows' from images that people post on their web pages, the images of the sites they link to, and the images of the sites linked to from there, and so on, and on. My crawler is a simple creature--it follows links and displays images. IMAGE RESEARCH is art made for the gallery attendent. Or, art to live with. It's like non-linear TV with the sound off. A lot of the images that are displayed for IMAGE RESEARCH are navigation widgets. As we move through larger landscapes of information with increasing speed, the apparatus for navigation becomes more and more the dominant component of our experience. Eventually, the experience of moving through data becomes more about interacting with the navigational apparatus and less about the environment being traversed--like the difference between riding a bicycle and piloting a jet.** _BIO_ * Born 1980 in Tacoma, Washington * Lives & works in Brooklyn, New York * Topics of interest may include but are not limited to: social networks, books, capitalism, the outsides of liquor stores, typography, shallowness, graphs & information design, programming, linguistic drift, walking, obfuscation, surveillance, transportation systems, obsessive behavior, sarcasm, pornography, advertising, major corporations, recursive acronyms, fluxus, statistics, dada, the idea of databases, Thomas Kinkade, KP REPRESENT!, lists, and not reading James Joyce. --- *see Associative Slideshow [static] **see ARROWS *********************************************************** * INSTRUCTIONS FOR STARTING `IMAGE RESEARCH' * *********************************************************** Turn on the Xbox. Turn on the IBM. On the IBM hold down 'Ctrl' and 'Alt' and press 'F1'. Log in to the IBM. user: canary pswd: modulate The screen should have some info about GNU/Linux. And will look like this: *********************************************************** * canary@debian:~$ * *********************************************************** Type (without the quotes) "screwdriver".

At Breakfast, A Month or Two Ago, or, Transcript for a Work of Art that Never Happened
In 2005 I applied for the Traffic show at Exit Art. While digging through a bunch of loose papers in a box left in my studio by Nick Normal, I came across the lovely gem below. This was the artist's statement that went along with the proposal. I wrote a transcript of the conversation as best I could remember it. The transcript read like this: "Talk talk. Talk talk. Talk." That was pretty much the whole thing. There were four characters. It was like a short play without a plot. One of the characters talk talk talked all of us under the table. She was talking. I was thinking: if her words are cars, I am standing in the middle of a freeway. So I put it in my notebook. It was number three hundred and fifty four. The only dialogue in the transcript besides talk talk talk, was when someone asked what I was working on. So I lied. The freeway mouth had just occurred to me. I had just written it down. But number three hundred and fifty four looked like a good idea. So I lied. Then the transcript ended after some laugh laugh laughing. The husband of the talker, the artist, told me what he was working on. He used Fimo©, he said. He said there was an art store in the neighborhood. I went there and bought Sculpey©. The cars were fun to make. I made them in the mornings and put them in parking lots on my work bench. There are thiry five cars on my bench. Soon the rubber latex will come in the mail from Seattle. And in small time I can have a population of thousands of little cars. I work in a very small place. So I make small things. The cars are nice. I will display them as they are, as Cars, Objects #3. The cars will also drive on roads that I build and fall out of mouths that I cast. I am just wondering what conversation looks like. I will use dental alginate to cast the mouths. This would be a fun project to show. They will look like model train sets. One mouth will have a cul-de-sac coming out of it. One a freeway. One a dead end. There are so many possibilities. For now, I am making cars. Next I will cast lips. After that I will build roads and probably have to recast the lips. And then if the other stuff works out, I will have a place to show it. The lips are made out of plaster and left raw--in contrast to the finished and detailed traffic structures. Also made of plaster are the many painted cars that populate the roads. I want to visualize conversation using the style of model trains. Some people, like my aunt, talk for hours whether or not they have an attentive listener. My aunt talk talk talks like a freeway that ends at a cliff--her words drive and drive, then fall and crash. She's British--so maybe the cliffs are at Dover. When my friend Mary and I get together we tend to talk about ourselves the whole time. Our solipsistic conversations. Our personal cul-de-sacs. Each word spoken circles back to where it came. Each car is a word. Each word has a destination, cargo and speed. Each mouth has a driver and maybe some dependent clauses in the back seat. In the passenger seat sits an adverb, back-seat driving. I think that is all I have to say for now. The pictures of models are new work. There is some older stuff. The one with all the letters is Exodus. It took about nine months to cast. If you're interested there is a short article of it here. Yep, that's about it, call if you have questions. /misc permanent link

artMarket_mini.info is now ART MINI DOT NET!!!
I dropped the market because it was so clumsy and hard for people to remember. I was inspired, perhaps a little too late, by this principle from The Elements of Style: 5.21 Prefer the Standard to the Offbeat. And from 5.16 Be Clear. "...Muddiness is not merely a disturber of prose, it is a destroyer of life, of hope: death on the highway caused by a badly worded roadsign, heartbreak among lovers caused by a misplaced phrase in a well-intentioned letter, anguish of a traveler expecting to be met at a railroad station and not being met because of a slipshod telegram." Misnomers can kill....or worse. Tell your friends! http://artmini.net /news permanent link

A Font For Paul Chan
This free macintosh font diplays everything that you type as the NATO Phonetic Alphabet. This font was inspired by Paul Chan (because his work is inspiring) and very loosely by Claude Shannon. At the risk/inevitability of being presumptuous, I am making recommendations for work to be included into the oeuvre of other artists. For instance, I would like to see the new logo for Canary attributed to Scott King. And of course since I'm making such recommendations, I'm open to them. /letters_signs_etc permanent link
