The Sundown Salon Unfolding Archive to be released 2009

2008-11-10T07:33:00.000-08:00

"The Sundown Salon Unfolding Archive"
A project by Fritz Haeg

For 6 years, Fritz Haeg opened his Los Angeles home to ideas and art through events, happenings, gatherings, meetings, pageantry, performances, shows, stunts and spectacles framed and affected by his unique house which included a subterranean cave, a geodesic dome, and a series of garden spaces. This special artists book documents the Sundown Salon events and also shares participants reflections on the idea of salons and the nature of viewing and making art communally and for a domestic space. "The Sundown Salon Unfolding Archive" is both a book and an exhibition: It is printed as one long accordian fold paper. The text can be flipped through and read like a book, and the pictures can be unfurled to a 140 foot long art piece. The book has been conceived by Fritz in collaboration with Evil Twin Publications' Stacy Wakefield. It will be released in June 2009 in a limited edition of 500 copies.

A selection of drawings, made by Salon participants, will be hand-screened in different configurations, making each cover unique.

The book will be available from both Evil Twin and Distributed Art Publishers in New York.

Speedometer, a poem from METS#2 lives anew as a song by Rhythm King and Her Friends, Berlin

2007-10-31T14:30:00.000-07:00

Linda lo-fi of Rhythm King and her Friends (Berlin) turned a poem from My Evil Twin Sister #2 into a good song, which you can hear at:
http://myspace.com/rhythmkingahf

Some of the words are obscured by charming German accents ...
here is the whole poem

Speedometer
(from Hometown Interstate-5)

When I took the wheel I took the challenge
I moved my eyes up from their usual spot
a few feet before the flat front end
and looked up two car lengths.
A weight lifted from my mind and settled on the gas pedal
the speedometer creaked upwards.
My grip was light and steady
I felt like a ghost
my hair flew straight out behind me like flames
my eyes burned hazel night lights into the darkness
I have nothing to lose.
There's nothing going to get lost
just this one last ride to live through.

The highway is violent
concrete and unforgiving
points of light burst like mosquitos, murdered on my windshield.
America is built on steel and these bossy parallel lines
the perfectly straight road pushes on and on and on.
This highway is an old friend, enemy, lover
I made love to one too many times.
I keep threatening I'll leave
but I return
he doesn't believe me anymore
so he treats me like he wants to.

Here's Rex and I eating a pigeon in Shenzhen.
