Ideational Art Adventure

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

John Cage


all texts are transparencies

The Flaneur eternally returns

to cryptozoic museums of art

A well known work

of conceptual art,

can't remember the artist's name

Trance like film
projected on the wall

spooky chanting

Fire on snow
Survivalism

Ingres
paint-by-number

 

ZAJ

I'd almost forgotten,

saw them perform

at UMass Amherst

Those were the days

Willoughby Sharpe performed

naked 24/7 hand-cuffed to a bedframe

Chris Burden

after being shot for art

Lowell Darling

Postcard exchange

 with William S. Burroughs

Lowell ran for governor

of California

as an art project

Why Warhol?

These might be

appropriations by another artist

Ant Farm

MEDIA BURN at the Cow Palace

there were facsimile hand-outs here

I wandered too far

out of the concept

into Tibetan Buddhism

Botero

Chubby torture porn

Tapestries

 At the entrance

Kinetic art

Tinguely

Push the button and

the round shield spins

and a sword comes at you

The dots move about

Copper Spiral

the original

imaginal

kinetic art

Rothko

contemplation

Jess

Pebbly impasto

Robert Duncan's hubby

Let us never forget

Mamie,

they won't let us

Turner

The problem of painting

Goes way back

Alternatives

proliferate

Pat O'Neill

Frozen orange juice

with pickle

The cramped café

Seems like everyone

is either on stage

or on line

Uber alles

entrance to

eum

Time to make trails

in the sunset

Same sunlight

a  BART ride away

Going home

like Leonard Cohen
