I remembered tonight when I got another random hang-up call that I had meant to phone Telstra about nuisance calls today. Will have to do it tomorrow. Although I'll probably end up forgetting.
Thus, if you're my random hang-y up-y phone stalker person, remind me to call about it. You're starting to annoy me.

I hate random calls like that. What a waste of my energy to pick up the phone.
Yeah, it is. And sometimes it's rather creepy!
It wasn't me but I'm interested in discussing a bit of an idea with you about the rough end of pineapples and art.
Well, I guess that's a relief...
Although now I'm curious about the rough end of pineapples and art. And yet somehow I'm vaguely disturbed as to what path that could take o.0
It's got a bit to do with Damien Hirst, and a bit to do with what constitutes art.
Also, the fact you live in Australia and that your blog is well tended.
*lol* For some reason, I'm now thinking of a pineapple cut in half and suspended in formaldehyde, or one studded with diamonds.
Although that is a bit stereotypical in thinking involving Hirst...
the skull has Britain's Guardian Newspaper journos in a tizz at the moment, so it's Hirst's big ticket item. So fair call. But the pineapple I'm thinking of is an entre' to something else. No formaldyhyde - but it's sure to be on the nose.
Like the cow and bull one banned in NY because they thought it might induce vomiting in the patrons?
If so, I think there are things in the bottom of the fridge that may be of a similar quality...
great! things in the bottom of the fridge should be suspended in resin though. Captured altered states.
Amazing reactions Hirst's work evokes. Often the patrons are violently dismissive, but he is very appealing to a lot of the neurotics. A bloody wonder the cow and co were banned in New York if stereotypes are anything to go by.
But onto the reason I wrote to you about the rough end of the pineapple. It's an idea about the diversity of people and the fine line between art and outrage. my email address is rough.pine@gmail.com - you have the option to post our email exchanges on your blog if you want - but I'd prefer to discuss first on email.
R.P
I guess Hirst's work can be divisive. There's some group that parodies his work, I think, sort of asking, "So why is this art at all?" Art's subjective, in the eye of the beholder is probably the only answer.
Anyways, R.P - just wondering, just how much of this is yanking my chain or is it actually genuine? :-p
Nope, not yanking chains, not up for that bullshit - yes, my inquiries are genuine - I'm working up an art idea - just to be v.clear, not looking for a meeting or money or personal information - I liked your website and the work on it and have concured with most of your obs that you've posted since we met. r.p
But having said that, I've not said a lot. and you've not replied so I will head to bed and send more tomorow. rough p.
... but given that it's early for Della, check out kiki smith from Germany if you're up for it.
Hmm, guess we'll see :)
The Kiki Smith art was interesting, what I found of samples of it online. Plus it was interesting how she talked about it in one interview as being something drawn from inside of her. Kind of like a cathartic thing or whatever.
Yes - there's a particular piece of hers called 'train' that certainly doesn't pull any punches. And she seems fearless.
Hmm... The magic of google has enlightened me as to that piece.
Odd.
That's about my only word for it *lol* Other than, "Hmm... Rather menstural!"
I guess fearless would be one way to explain it. Or exploratory of the issues of body and person..?
Yep, exploratory and maybe putting it out there (no pun intended - well, maybe)? It was an attention grabber at the very least. I was hesitant to mention it to you but then I thought, in the spirit of earlier posts, what was there to shy away from?
I read something somewhere about "Train" with a person responding to the work, interpreting it (on a personal level) as miscarriage.
Perhaps that's part of the good thing with art that has some ambiguity, the way in which everyone can obtain their own meanings/symbols.
I like that. It gives us all some room to move. It's more sophisticated. But is that what Kiki would have wanted?
Well, I think artists create things with their own objectives in mind, but surely realise that others will approach their work with other experiences, understandings and potential readings? :)
