art reception
May. 13th, 2003 12:00 amFerry to Connecticut, sitting in the lounge with my hun by the window looking out at the water, with bookjournal in front of me...so nice...the trip was just not long enough!I think I'd like to take a looooong train trip one day with old style dining cars...journal or a laptop....just writing and watching the world through the window...moving, moving..
At the gallery there was wine being served on the porch...grabbed one before entering thank goodness. Lots of nice strangers...I'm nervous, and about to burst with inappropriate exuberance. To take each new person and shake them and put my eye right up to their eye and say what's on my mind. ha. Like the one woman I'm talking to who used to be a sculptor but now is in film school...could I really have said "You know I feel I dreamed this, I met you...but in the dream you showed me a film you made as a tribute to your son who recently passed away...it was so beautiful..a body in water...the sunlight and skin and seaweed illuminated...so quiet and beautiful, the tiny bay waves moves the body softly..."
Um no. We do not say things like that. We hope that her sons are well and alive. and that it is just a feeling/memory unrelated.But yes that memory(?) was strong.
The other artist there told me of her 'swarming' experiences and I am fascinated...she's biking, hiking, and always some strange swarm occurrence- birds suddenly take flight from hidden bushes, bees make spheres...rain moves as if it is dancing...what can we get from this? Makes me think of the book I've been eyeing called Sync:The Emerging Science of Spontaneous Order. Perhaps I'll link her to it...
anyway, many conversations, a bit more wine till I'm feeling F.I.N.E.(read dangerously tipsy) and we have a meal with some friends and take the century-long drive back home.
Oh this song- erghhh- it's just f*kn perfect.! gives me chills. It's off Taveler '03 by six degrees records.Ojos de Brujo (Eyes of the Male Witch!)- Quien Engana no Gana. I wish I could link you to it. I've checked around but couldn't find it on the web. The CD is not officially released yet so that could be why. Ergh.*grits teeth* it. is. so. good. WITCHY Spanish flamenco rap.!I can't take it. it's too good. *falls over in fits*
