disintegrator
brooklyn artist john avelluto experiments with easily comprehensible forms, but are they? what appears to be a sheet of graph paper is not; the forced perspective encourages the onlooker to make what they can out of this brilliant commentary on materialization. the exhibit opens tonight at the studio 10 gallery, a must-see if you are in the neighborhood (you could even stop by before you go and see this.) by sv

quote of the day
“nothing was ever in tune. people just blindly grabbed at whatever there was: communism, health foods, zen, surfing, ballet, hypnotism, group encounters, orgies, biking, herbs, catholicism, weight-lifting, travel, withdrawal, vegetarianism, india, painting, writing, sculpting, composing, conducting, backpacking, yoga, copulating, gambling, drinking, hanging around, frozen yogurt, beethoven, bach, buddha, christ, tm, h, carrot juice, suicide, handmade suits, jet travel, new york city, and then it all evaporated and fell apart. people had to find things to do while waiting to die. i guess it was nice to have a choice.”
-charles bukowski, women, 1978
