A few things, photographs, haptic drawings and commentary:
1. Philip Guston's Ghost(s)
While out walking, I am sometimes haunted by the ghost of the work of Philip
Guston - or is it, as well, the actual presence of the artist himself? Which
is to say, whatever I remember of seeing Guston¹s work - and I have seen a
great deal - the work, or some aspect of the spirit of the work,
periodically transforms itself to reappear in the form of something local,
something material...
2. ³Derelict² Proclamation, Noe Valley, San Francisco

DERELICTS...
3. New York City "Haptic"
Haptic:
Pertaining to the sense of touch, from the Greek word haptein, to grasp.
Sporadically, in the past year, I have been exploring environments through a
drawing technique that I call Haptics. The pieces are not Œdrawings¹ in any
conventional sense - perspective, volume, figures and all of that. The
drawing is built around listening closely. Instead of haptics the pieces
might equally well be called "soundscapes..."
4. What Suzanne Stein Did! Performing at Small Press Traffic, San Francisco
Suzanne Stein - poet and performance artist - created what might be called
³a presence² (rather than a Œreading¹ or Œperformance¹) to an audience of
primarily poets last Friday night at Small Press Traffic. The event was a
combination of Œoff-putting¹, Œembracing¹ and Œthought provoking.¹...
And, by the way, Happy Holidays!!
