movie - The Yes Men - Watched tonight - features said costume in an amzing faux lecture about textiles of the future, corporate leisure suits and the advantages of slavery - all delivered under the guise of the WTO - The end of the film where a final faux presentation is given in which yesmen - again posing as representatives of the WTO - explain the very rational reasons why the WTO is dismantaling itself and recreating its mission in accordance with the UN Treaty on Human rights is really heartbreaking because it really does seem so tragically far fetched...

I've been flitting between books trying to get a good summer read and I finally got the new(ish) book of my favorite poet James Schuyler's letters.... So beautiful and fun. Gossipy and melancholy letters to Fairfield Porter, Frank O'Hara, Kenneth Koch etc...

At the begining he's in Italy with his boyfriend Arthur Gold (part of the four hand piano duo Gold and Fizdale -another fringy obsession of mine) and he goes the the Venice Bienale and says...

"I put off going to the Biennale until last week (since it was Venice itself I was most interested in). I thought Bill's (De Kooning) pictures showed up wonderfully well...In a big international showhis work seemed quiter and more subtle than I would have though of it as being.His pictures contain so much. The other thing I loved at the Biennale was a big Courbet show. But I didn't find the World's Fair Merchandise Mart atmosphere of the thing very sympathetic for looking at pictures..."

Watched this super nerdy documentary about Roxy Music called INSIDE ROXY MUSIC 1972-1974 (hey I was born right in the middle) and it was basically like a Fan Club affair - with interviews with absolute nobodies - but the whole shebang was worth it for the amazing concert footage - renewing my total awe of Roxy's total out of nowhereness and wishing I could find some straight up early concert films.....

Yet ultimately it is De Keyser's ability to establish tension without fixed points of reference (those titles are as teasingly confounding as Robert Ryman's) that allows him so successfully undogmatic an approach. That figure and ground in his paintings often shift and change places and that the face of the canvas itself can seem so hauntingly fugitive are qualities as significant as any in lending these eroded abstractions their mute force.
