i don’t really know what the difference between conceptual and modern and contemporary is. i’ve seen like 19th c. painting and sculpture for so long, like the impressionists and the fauvism dudes, all of which are pleasant, but in general, i like when they paint a room bright yellow and have like the word “tee pee” in the corner. you know, random stuff that seems cool. it’s new, it’s experiential, but mostly it’s not water lilies by monet (just the way i can’t listen to certain records anymore, i can’t see that painting anymore. it looks like wrapping paper to me.) but i guess “conceptual” art seems like it’s brainy and kinda boring; like there was literally a GIGANTIC HOLE as one of the exhibits and then a BUNCH OF YARN for another. i was like really, dude? really? what amazes me is when i am moved one way or another when it’s just random, abstract stuff. i think that’s why i was struck by those two artists. now for “conceptual fiction,” maybe i’d group like carole maso in that group where it’s random cr*p on a page that’s beyond me. for plays? dunno, someone on stage that goes “dieter, dieter” and then eats a sandwich?

nk, i’m impressed with how much you know! this is a new side of nk.

I really like the Serra “torqued elipses” too. Isn’t conceptual art like any art? Plays, fiction, you have to wade through a lot of B.S. to get to something that has any resonance.

I really dig Louise Bourgouise’s work!! Totally creepy, horror movie style. I remember reading that later in her life, she would have these open house salons. Like any artist could drop by her apartment, and you would bring your work to show her, and she’d critique them. So art students would be hanging around waiting for their turn to gain her audience.

Also, I had on my old cameraphone pics of these flat bed trucks lined up on 5th avenue carrying out all of Richard Serra’s huge pieces after his big retrospective at MOMA a few years ago. It’s interesting the context of viewing art. In a gallery, his structures seemed otherworldy and landscapey. On a flatbed, it looked like some leftover industrial material being sent out to be disposed.

I had to tune back in to check on the answer to the poop question. I don’t know why. As long as the poop isn’t solid as a rock. I’ve heard some disturbing stories.

less frequent, like once or twice a day, with a consistency like refried beans rather than guac. is this gross TMI? it doesn’t reek like crazy yet, but that may change when we add like cheese one day. ewwwww! d wants to try vegetarian, which i’m into, particularly until the boy can wipe his own bum. thank you.
