2/6
a large blank of housework as the house is nearly finished — lost thoughts and empty mind —
reading Art in America and Gertrude Stein — read Aphrodite - Artforum — don’t know what else
Art in America (2/89) - review of Rodin biography — the dossier in the museum and my idea of making books of my papers —
all the papers I’ve collected — simply putting them in notebooks and possibly adding texts etc — junk mail scraps etc (Kiefer)
p134 on Kindergarten <?> group — an idea for artists to work at such jobs as a sort of government subsidy
2/8
Tony Cragg — Arts p18 — on plastic bottles which I don’t really like
but I understand the feeling of using them — the recycle
ideas on art
to go through magazines and make notes — marginalia — how much would I have to copy
an interleaf of photo copies an my text (I don’t want to take apart my art magazines)
2/9
idea for a set of assemblages in sliding trays — like a typesetter’s case —
analogy of book or portfolio box — misc ideas for the past week
aquarium sculpture — a five gallon aquarium I’ve had partially filled for a long time —
dried plant remnants on its sides etc — looking at it I realized it was “complete” as is
idea to fill an aquarium and let it evaporate — aquarium as a living sculpture Paik / Koons
the idea of what my art is about — a question I don’t like but can’t avoid
the idea of keeping and filing the letters I wanted to write to various artists — do I really want to know them
a sculpture made by imbedding newspapers in cement and covering with plexiglas or glass
idea for a piece using sticks colored on back to articulate walls (piece in Washington, D. C.)
