Subject:
a bit of dialogue: per chance I have already sent 2 pieces to you via regular mail on the chance-future topic. Betty Danon has also received this invitation and she and i have just begun discussing it. As to
the Galantai's Chance Future
project I've been thinking he intends the part of chancefulness and
fortuity in our lives that determines our future in spite of ourselves
and intervenes determining others' future as well. For ex they say "Si
le nez de Cléopatre était moins long la face du monde
aurait changé!" I am taking
galantai to mean that : the juxtaposition of any two or more events
or situations or even observations interconnect by the chance of time
and place and thus somehow illuminate one another and a third place
as well (in-between). Thus, if a large enough sampling comes into his
bin, and he has the energy and wherewithal to think atop the influx,
then he has an emerging portrait of ideas, images, voices. The underlying
problem is that we already live in such a 'chance-future' whirl: viz.
newspapers, conglomerates etc. that it is hardly possible to separate
out the information which he wants to highlight from the glut of information
which is already all around us and, ironically, is needed to determine
the context of the pieces he is assembling. The process, in this instance,
is all. I am also very interested in "self-assembling poetry" ...as
a movement beyond the side-by-side assembling which we correspondence
artists have already tried toward the interlinking into one thing which
i think this idea implies. I hope
that you got the information about the stamp site:
