Old Short Film By the Miele Brothers

So back in April, my brother and I made a short film. We did it fast and dirty because we wanted to enter it into a local short film festival. It is about a family picture, through the eyes of my younger brother mark. For your viewing pleasure Torrance Kalindarsky: A Definitive Autobiography

news ps - news.

vale.  so every semester at metáfora, there is an exhibition that the school co-organizes with a gallery in the city. this term, the show is titled "reduce the unnecessary" and it will be held in gràcia in a small gallery called UntitledBCN. there are only 10 slots, so everyone submitted proposals to one of our profs...hungarian diva who normally tain't havin' it...to see who gets in. i got in! so the show, i think, opens 21 noviembre. i will definitely keep everyone updated with the piece, press release, etc...  i am still working on the concept/prelim drama. i want to create a large-scale map of my past month in terms of seemingly insignificant experiences in different parts of the city. i guess i concocted the idea when kells and i randomly saw an old man riding nude on a bike in the middle of my quasi family-oriented neighbo(u)rhood. i want these instances (and there be many) to be very small and beautifully illustrated on a large-scale "map". time will tell how this map chooses to represent itself. meanwhile, i'm playing with my walking/train routes this past week. i'm using the red line the most...is that weird? anyone?

We Rot Together

When you speak your first words

I will remember how

my fluids filled your airways.

How our dying bones hooked,

tangled in some divine love –

partly sharp, partly soft wool.

We rot together.

When you go to die

I will give you

paper gifts, combs, and jars.

I will close the house,

keep the rooms still –

every cupboard open.

I will love you dead.

I can't get it to show up as black and white...it has this weird gold tone. Anyway you get the idea. Continue

Dylan,

my phone died, sorry. I'll look up those concepts/people and let you know if I buy the book.

Dead Work:  1. work that is not longer processual or in-process, not related to your current line of thought.  2. Bad Ideas or ideas that were dead on arrival (furry pipe-cleaner models, blind-bar code models, sticks with shiny bangles on them).  3. some student work  4. ideas, design or construction methods that were over your head at the time of origination.  5. Stagnant, possibly promising, streams of thought that may eventually gain new currents.

spare time hair time.

i've commenced face mapping, would love some pointers on new methodologies/abstractions. this seems a little too literal/reductive (let's map each follicle!). i thought it was sort of funny how cartoony things become when you take out flesh. weird.

i am excited about seeing all of these next to eachother!

Task: Implode the Memory/Explode the Meaning

For your thoughts:

Because people just don't remember, especially in our culture, we have an explosion of information, but an implosion of meaning. It is like Casablanca where Humphrey Bogart said, "A long time ago, last night." People don't remember last night. -Felix Gonzalez-Torres

also: who has used uprinting.com? looks pretty useful.

the book of longing: model

Taking Dylan's suggestion, I decided to play up the underlying structure and extrude these three "shells" from the backdrop. Photos with better lighting to come. My critique is tomorrow/in seven hours.

Things get done at Leaf mentally. I was working in my head, here. More *real* work to come! Continue
