The Museum of Peripheral Art: ÄUTISTIK PUNK MUSIK
http://museumofperipheralart.blogspot.com/2015/06/austik-punk-musik.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2015. I am most proud to be American when I am watching Eurovision, the annual music competition between countries (mainly European) in the European Broadcasting Union. It's always mesmerizing how cheesy it gets, and surprising the larger and richer the country, the worse the entry. I wrote about 2014 Eurovision. I seem to have a Slovenian fetish because I keep finding things I love about that culture. I liked this year's pop song Here for You. I always have to. Here are the lyrics:.

The Museum of Peripheral Art: Red Alert and a Blue Room on Greene Street
http://museumofperipheralart.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-blue-room-on-greene-street.html
Friday, May 8, 2015. Red Alert and a Blue Room on Greene Street. I stopped by the Artists Space on Greene Street today at lunchtime (there is also an Artists Space on Walker Street, which I have not been to yet). It's up on the third floor of an average building with a nondescript entrance. The modest ante-gallery with a glowing. The most intriguing piece in the gallery is. The Museum of Peripheral Art. The Museum of Peripheral Art explores how we interact with and interpret art and media, in order to pr...

The Museum of Peripheral Art: Left To Our Own Devices
http://museumofperipheralart.blogspot.com/2015/05/left-to-our-own-devices.html
Thursday, May 14, 2015. Left To Our Own Devices. The current show of David Goodman, Apparatus. Is a combination of colorful, shredded paper "paintings", a number of curious wooden objects he calls devices. And a backroom projection collage of colors and objects fastened to the wall. I like most the intimacy of the projection room and the devices. Some of them are constructed to a point of teetering. As a departure from Calder's stabiles. His counterpart to mobiles. These works could be labeled unstabiles.

The Museum of Peripheral Art: Platinum Records, Polished Silver, and Polident
http://museumofperipheralart.blogspot.com/2015/07/platinum-records-polished-silver-and.html
Friday, July 10, 2015. Platinum Records, Polished Silver, and Polident. If you are a reader of this blog, you may have come to realize that I like to make bizarre connections between remote entities. This one here is perhaps the greatest stretch: the success of at least three music entertainers and the failed marriage of my aunt in the early 1970s represented here by a silver champagne cup from her wedding in 1969, inscribed with her ex-husband's n. After cleaning up the cup I hand-drew a diagram, simila...

The Museum of Peripheral Art: The Bad Side of Good People and the Good Side of Bad People
http://museumofperipheralart.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-bad-side-of-good-people-and-good.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2015. The Bad Side of Good People and the Good Side of Bad People. I watched two documentary films in the past month that explore violence from completely different angles: Dawg Fight. By Billy Corben and Into the Abyss. Which takes place in a poor neighborhood of Miami-Dade County, Florida, harnesses the organized violence of backyard ring, bare-fist fighting as a way out of the random violence of poverty. The star of the film and hero of the community is the hulking.

The Museum of Peripheral Art: The Blazing Island of White
http://museumofperipheralart.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-blazing-island-of-white.html
Sunday, May 10, 2015. The Blazing Island of White. Personally, I love this blog because it is has been my [web]log/diary for the past six years of the movies I have watched, books I have read, and the galleries and museums I have visited. I somehow pushed all that away and dismissed it as something in my past. That's why I gravitated to a documentary I watched last night called STRIPPED. From the official website of the film:. Watch the trailer to get a sneak peek. The Museum of Peripheral Art.

The Museum of Peripheral Art: Grizzly Man
http://museumofperipheralart.blogspot.com/2015/05/grizzly-man.html
Friday, May 8, 2015. The documentary films of Werner Herzog are not simply the products of good directing and editing. They are experiences in which he shares his deep contemplation with you. He doesn't just take you places; he makes you think very differently about a subject. With his lens he is an experienced traveler, not a naive tourist. A young native Alutiiq from Kodiak Island speaks about Treadwell crossing the boundary that his people respected for "seven thousand" years. Herzog seems delighted b...
