I mean it IS the book of HOURS and so the concept of TIME is significant, and, what can I say, I'm endlessly interested in issues of Time and Space and their interchangability, not just in "maps of time" like calendars, but in the practice of an Orthopraxic religion like Orthodox Judaism where my entire life used to be structured from the outside in, and then worming my way out of that via...a wormhole I guess.

I'm also a fan of #4, but only because I like a certain amount of irreverence and the idea of combining Mad Magazine and Medieval work strikes me as a bit loopy — in the best way possible. Doesn't hurt that I have fond memories of that magazine from my childhood.<BR/><BR/>My opinion, for what it's worth.Smilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888076998373335876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722090670382472558.post-24543418092243174292007-12-30T19:20:00.000-06:002007-12-30T19:20:00.000-06:00I like number three as well.

Maybe because I have a lot of photographic material close by (Toulouse, Cahors, etc...) with those hairy apes and demonic figures doing demonic things. Some are truly fascinating and you're right that the "jew as other" theme is not as apparent as one would think. As a matter of fact, a lot of the material is highly coded "passive-aggressive" stuff making fun of local figures and the father/mother superior of the cloister. <BR/>I could go on. Will if you want me to.<BR/><BR/>Hurray for the Fahrenheit reading<BR/>as for loose ends - dare I tell you this? it is my experience that, barely has one finished tying the ones on the left, a whole new bunch appear on the right, so...what can I tell you except: good luck ;-)R.L.

I want some sort of intrinsic connection between things under discussion, as opposed to yoking together two things that have no link in time, space, or possible area of intellectual influence, as would be the case with Sol Lewitt and Sergio Aragones. Maybe, though, Aragones was aware of medieval marginalia? And if not, I guess, I'd find nugget 4 more interesting than the Sol Lewitt one, because there is, come to think of it, a kind of genre connection.<BR/>I know I'm thinking more literally than you are about the parameters of your project, so feel free to ignore my input!
