Thank you, Gerhard, for supporting my feeling that the painter is a performer at best, and paintings their choreography (or DVDs). I’m also super glad you’re playing yourself and not getting Ed Harris to do it. I look forward to watching children recite the Richter behavior for years to come.

Yes, I will participate in the art world’s self-congratulatory [lots of blog hype] attempt at producing a meme with [potential] pop culture exportability. I have before. And besides, how couldn’t I? So, apropos.
An hour-long vintage documentary on Duchamp, chess and art. To be admired as a sculpture.
A hilarious bit of discursive theatrics. My favorite part is undeniably the correlation between modernism and the father. Jesus… I think we’re distant cousins.
A little search helps turn up additional Jayson Musson, or Hennessy Youngman, productions. For instance, he has an album available here, and additional humorous paintings and drawings on his site.
Dear Jayson, I hope you make it.

An undeniable force in pattern development, Mr. Rogers helped pioneer performative pop-models for sincerity and laid the foundation for the consciousness industry. One can’t help but admire, and thus mine, his obsolete position in media production.
“Versions, 2010,” by Oliver Laric is a rather brilliant illustration of the warm place we all have in our hearts for simulation and its recapitulative capacity regarding the power of the IMAGE. Additionally, “Versions, 2010,” is a newer version of “Versions, 2009.” Both are capable of supplying the visual artist and/or creative with an apropos “WTF are you doing?” moment.
Oliver Laric is also part of the [mostly online] curatorial powerhouse that is VVORK

FAST&FRENETIC:The Let’s Colour Project.
The above videos offer two versions of commercial voyeurism that locate the processes of making things with bodies somewhere between artfully haptic meditation and frenetic swarming. Additionally, both videos offer glimpses into two incredibly ambitious projects orbiting around creative social tactics. In my humble opinion, both videos beautifully represent process and product.
