projects

Projects and Projections,

all within a wide margin of error.

this project is but a proposal thus far, since it depends on a number of other players… a group that has more than 10 years on the clock and is beginning to fade… of course the members all have their own carreers to think about, some have families in the meanwhile, and all sorts of other reasons for no longer being as engaged as they once were…

but too interesting to let go completely… thus a combination of review as well as projective activities, perhaps not as intense as when we started out, but nonetheless still possibly relevant. One of the things envisioned is a publication, periodical or not, as an alternative space to the stage we set all those years ago…

Interim recapitulation,
Or rather something else that followed on decembrist again, but forgot, maybe sping again?

The interim activity of the two-ended painting was a good exercise, reminder of past painting activities as well as a mental rehash, reset, refurbishment maybe... Get one's brain into another gear... On the one hand concerning the ten years of collaborative workings... Rather than cooperation, which is applicable some of the time but certainly throughout...  Artist being as individual as they are.. But sometimes it does pan out and all contribute equally.
But as mentioned, not a very good model for editorial purposes.. And so harking back to more traditional formats, a basic backbone of chronological highlights, augmented by short descriptions, and interspersed with more elaborate contributions... That should be 'doable'... ( though who is going to play the coordinator, last-say editor-in-chiefan feathers? Hmmm who?) 
Or, alternately, no skeleton of chronological facts, but a mix, chance play and encounter as we practiced during covid, working apart-together in a practical and uncomplicated way...  Using the free contributions as mainstay and adding details and specific accounts here and there, surprise the reader so to speak.

Thesaurius Rex

That might also be an option for the archival, since one never has all the strands in hand... Waiting for this or that section to be registered, records and descriptions made, filed into prefabricated sections and interrelated with others... But not in the classic manner of authority records, but definitions thrown about higgledy-piggledy to avoid making sense at all cost. ( that seems to be the method nowadays) Thesaurial chaos, organised dysfunction, derailed and  systematic auto-subversion...
( or something thereabouts, in manageable sections..)

...rooms in fact, each their own room, but interchangeable, inhabiting a conceptual space for as long it is not usurped by another idea... Leap-frogging over a low wall or tentative barrier in pursuit of the next idea... ( recently had a chronology by Tristan Tzara in my hands and couldn't help making untoward associations...) Does this make sense? Is any combination of givens, haphazardly, make them associates by mere proximity?
Can they be?

(and what image do we use to illustrate that state of mind?)

Parallel chronologies... Straddling three entities... Or more in fact... 2006-2016 / 2012-2023 sort of ( 2007 to now, and the P... Still going or not? Bureaux pour remettre... ( someone's remit...) for the moment considering a three-tier approach... At thee different locations... Bukta, depinter and mau-B.... And of course the trajectory, space in-between.. Those lost moments of consideration near nowhere, or at least what seems to be nowhere... And as such recalling the fact that the surrealist manifesto was launched this year, good reference for our ' dérive' in any case ( already had considered the excursion from Blois as point of deprature.. When is still not really clear... ( atacking a christfigure might help)....

To understand a period it is good to live in a space that had been configured in that period... If decorative trapping are also present, all the better. One cannot consider a point of view if one has a completely different one... Of course one might theorise, but not experiencing the point of view and its space, the flavour of the wallpaper and the dynamics of the airflow within, one might be excused for not understanding the attitude of the time ( becoming form and/or becoming formal.) Nose job, who nose job...

( though complaining, i was compliant... Nose job indeed!)

No S job.  So much to do, don't know where to start... Simultaneously. Cadence is the word that comes to mind, finding a sort of rhythm between the different beats ticking along sometimes in unison, often counterpoint, 
Backbeat and syncopated ...
(Synonym for syncopate)
Gimme gimme

Was poetry there before cave painting?

Consider: man-cave painting.  (also ref to article on Filliou's art-birthday sponge-in-bucket (prehistoric)/
