NOTES
if I want to write — be a writer — I have to use the times I talk to myself to write — get at the fragments of ideas

now I have to decide how to type up this notebook — what writing or writings do I go on to
2 texts — the art writing and the Love/Sex novel — also the new novel — what about that

the past couple of days have been nearly wasted


ART
the problem of intersecting with the art scene — of getting the writing into circulation — on the politics and economics of art

TV PIECE
TV chassis on black ground — velour? — with wood frame (black)
possibly shelf with some tubes

<drawings for several pieces>

relate to Judd on art whatever addition the art is in the placement or arrangement — should the outside be scaled to the pieces or all the same — I think it should be a little larger than the largest piece and all the same

FLASKS
considered using them in a rack like an upright style wine rack but decided against that because of the shape — a single column might be good — inserting them between shelves should hold them if the measurements were good — something like ‘radiator’ possibly — possibly 3 parts
have 11 in the attic

TV PIECES
largest is ≈ 12x26 — could use an 18x30 back — 1 yard of velour
the backs of the circuit boards would not be visible — possibly take some slides of the backs — mounting will be difficult as the pieces are heavy — need to design some hardware system — with the cloth front hardware could go through the piece — the molding could hold it away from the wall
may remove some of the components for other pieces — possibly a side piece or two — like the planned Akai sculpture — TV tower
would ‘loosen’ the arrangement as some of the pieces may be too dense

DEAD BULBS
all these ideas need to be organized — or disorganized [dis]organized

jan 1992
broken TVs
lab glass
