what's funny is i remember, i looked this guy up one time, in connection with some research i was doing on a gallery.
but i had completely forgotten about him til lydia brought him up to me.
cause he does stuff with stuffed animals. which is sort of where i'm at right now...
i was in this place, making stuffed animals. i dont know if it is worth pursuing. i mean, i really enjoy them. i like their sadness, their impotence. the one bird can barely hold it's head up, the monkey with useless arms splayed, the cuddly bird's feathers keep falling out (on purpose, i swear), the snake that can't curl, the fish is the closest to actually working out, since it is made of swimsuit- so potentially it could swim. except that ultimately it can't swim... and the first bird i made, the one i crocheted. that is really sad. it doesnt even look like a bird.

searching for gordon matta clark pics i found bldgblog, which seems pretty sweet... uh... and there was a link to some cultural news site, with a link for chicago. and that was pretty exciting too...
