Bindu (Here Lies...) |
Here Lies Rosalind Kraus tears...shaken from the wrath-bearing tree Why do dinosaurs paint? They paint for joy!!! ... Can dinosaurs sleep? That is the question. Can they lie down on their bed of thorns (now softened by their amoured skin) beneath the large leaved ancient trees. and see calmly their extinction? Luxurious calm voluptuous, they see the gotterdamerung before the gods have even come ..... (dada) A smallish consolation!!! I thought I might see words appear in the pink skies of her painting.... (Here lies Ed Ruscha to start right on my lingam tomb stone.) Just as Rembrandt’s painting of the Feast of Balthazar sees somehow in the spelled-out word the passage through the flash of light just as we stand to lose it ... Even Bill Viola now is talking in slow-motion ... Here lies Bill Viola too! for going by a book. And here lies especially Blinkey Palermo... Is he Italian or a fig’s blink in my nightmare? and a lifetime of absent Ellsworth K.s (not to mention Sol the Wit inhabiting the corners). And here lies Hans Bulmer and Rosalind Krauss. At least there’s one woman in the thing... And while you're at it take Brice Marden too I'm sorry that he hid his heart with clean-edged loops and strings and things sensorily depriving. The end... finis...the end is here. |
