Softboiled Eggies I Geneva Jacuzzi I Oscar Santos
"The will cannot will backwards; and that he cannot break
time and time's covetousness, that is the will's loneliest
melancholy." Nietzsche
saturday august 15, 2009: Trauermusik part 2
Indian Jewelry I John Webster Johns I Julia Holter I Im Kino
“The ambiguity of this human life is really that of mad laughter
and of sobbing tears. it comes from the difficulty of harmonizing
reason's calculations with these tears... with this horrible laugh...
in the violence of the overcoming, in the disorder of my laughter and
my sobbing, in the excess of raptures that shatter me, I seize on the
similarity between a horror and a voluptuousness that goes beyond me,
between an ultimate pain and an unbearable joy.” Bataille
saturday august 29, 2009: Trauermusik part 3
William Basinsky I Jason Grier I Mark So I Sound Installation by Lucky Dragon
"I have found a definition of the beautiful. It is something intense
and sad, something a bit vague... a contradictory impression of an
ardor... and a desire for life together with a bitterness which flows
back upon them as if from a sense of deprivation and hopelessness.
I do not pretend that joy cannot associate with Beauty, but I will
maintain that joy is one of her most vulgar adornments, while Melancholy
may be called her illustrious spouse, so much so that I can scarcely
conceive a type of beauty which has nothing to do with sorrow." Baudelaire
