  • this and its lived consequence

    art is one of the primary human activities, and that it can succeed in articulating not just the imposed or constitutive social or intellectual system , but at once this and an experience of it, its lived consequence , in ways very close to many other kinds of active response, in new social activity and in what we know as personal life, but of course often more accessibly, just because it is specifically formed and because when it is made it is in its own way complete, even autonomous, and being the kind of work it is can be transmitted and communicated beyond its original situation and circumstances.

  • RR, Hoarfrost series

    https://birdbird.tumblr.com/post/686900751410380800/robert-rauschenberg-1925-2008-untitled

    In 1974 Rauschenberg began making works for his Hoarfrost series by combining elements of photography, collage and print-making. Working from a technique he had adapted in the late 1950s, the artist superimposed photographic images from a variety of sources onto delicate fabrics and then overlayed a gauze-like transparent cloth over certain areas, often with other images. — Christies.

    These themes continue and morph in the Hoarfrost (1974–76) and Jammer (1975–76) series, both of which are represented in the exhibition. Each take hung and draped fabric as their starting point, but to different ends. The Hoarfrosts, such as Untitled (Hoarfrost) (1974), revisit the solvent transfer technique Rauschenberg first developed while traveling with Cy Twombly in the early 1950s, imparting faint and haunting imagery onto the fabric. Meanwhile, the series title is pulled from Dante’s Inferno, a nod to his earlier body of Dante Drawings (1958–60) also made with the solvent transfer process. — Mnuchin.

  • St. James Infirmary Blues

    She’s stretched out on a long, white table
    She’s so sweet, so cold, so fair

    Let her go, let her go, oh bless her
    Wherever she may be

    Song of uncertain origin wrapped around a detective story (via True Detective Season 3).
