3/2

finished henderson yesterday — bartleby & co the day before
a few pages of cortázar — (autonaughts) but probably won’t read that —
a few pages of soft machine — last with naked lunch not liking it as much as previous readings — maybe i’m too old & need something narrative —

time to feed the pets & i don’t feel like moving


ART FORUM — i’m tossing out most of the articles — i remember liking a lot of the art philosophy but i’m not interested now — i have too much material — i like the pictures i saved — they compliment the internet — i used to look forward to reading glenn o’brien but i’m not even bothering to see if the articles are still interesting (kept a few o’brien)
———
ART — the metal rack — picturing some use of wood & wood or metal panels —
? how to discard metal — i don’t like to drive to the scrap metal dump because i’m afraid of ruining a tire —
——
could the shelves be useful — i could spray paint them black —

looking at all the illustrations i want to make objects —
mind shifts — sometimes it’s philosophy sometimes it’s image — i’m getting rid of a lot of the philosophical essays i enjoyed reading —
kept an article on m rosso i remember being interesting — now i’m not sure —

things i no longer like — conceptual things
most pop art

PROJECT — make a ‘book’ from fragments of art reviews — i kept quite a few of these from art forum —
——
ART NEWS — i didn’t underline reviews in the ones i’m looking at now (old ones 70s & early 80s) — i’m not keeping the ones without pictures although there may be a lot of useful info i’m passing up
——

from the back of a magazine page
(artist <?>) les elements de la nature
“l’air” “l’eau” “la terre” “la feu”
——
the shapes of cut up olives on my plate — chillida

3/15-2
naked lunch changed every time i read it — i think i alternated between thinking it was totally great and thinking it wasn’t one of his better works
trace materials and ideas — some things have been present for years

dead bulbs
the large music rack (actually a computer rack (i still have it))

i’ve had a lot of ideas for this thing —
using it for old rack mount electronics
