but you inhale alone while at a gallery.
at the same time you see people inhaling alone.
i think its a unique situation where people are alone and together. i like this.

you can look at pictures (or most anything for that matter) and do it intimately.

If another person strolls up next to me as im enjoying a picture in the Tate Modern, for example, i dunno, I just dont feel right. I realise Its my own problem, not the fault of other people. It might be similar to the way I can enjoy a game of football in a loud pub and certain of my friends cant; its not dependent on what youre observing, but the atmosphere in which youre taking it in, and whether you feel like you belong.

Art into pubs, football matches into art galleries, thats the way forward!

I currently hate nostalgia, but I'm starting to remember some of the great times I had back when I liked it... man, those were the good ol' days.

my only problem, and i m sorry but right now i only have Lucian Freud one 's in mind, was that i wanted to smoke after viewing smth that moved me, or you know cry (a BIT) even. basically it was the smoking thing.
also the shyness and again smoking thing that kept me from sitting and doing more drawings. i did a handful of really fast ones, like 20 secs each/ no, less. booohoo. didnt occur to me to do it earlier or planned. just happend towards the end of it. ouf.

It's a great concept the one of art getting out of galleries and standing next to you while you're engaging into human activity. I am totally for it. It only becomes complicated with works that thrive on a particular enviroment and aren't so malleable as sound, for instance.

perhaps im overly concerned with provocation, and the effect a provocative piece of art can have on its surroundings. I do feel that the sheer presence of other upright mammals can spoil the mood of certain things - if you were listening to a particular piece of music and then someone else wandered in, it would be like hearing someone's random voice whilst you were having a wank; it just ruins the mood

you must get thrown out of a lot of gigs.

There was a lot to like and dislike about the 90s. Like symbol-man, I hated the Singles movie. Also hated Reality Bites. Hated Pearl Jam, too.

On the other hand, there were the Breeders, Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Radiohead, MBV, Ride, Smashing Pumpkins, Throwing Muses, Pixies, JAMC, and many others I still love listening to.

And it was an awful fashion period. Stupid flannel. Stupid backwards baseball caps EVERYWHERE! Baggy ass grunge jeans. In fact, almost everything was oversized, especially for men. Sweaters and jackets were big. Ripped apart converse sneakers--oh, wait, I wear those.

I'm more inclined to like roughly 1987 to 1993 than strictly the 90s, though.

[louder]

Ten IS a terrible album. i'm glad we all came to an agreement.

[gmku]

No, they all moved to asheville.

[louder]

the 90's were.. well, i wouldn't know. i wasn't even 10 years old!

[louder]

gas prices!!

i need a time machine, NOW.

[gmku]

What's wrong with boney ass white girls? I don't remember the asses being so flat... actually a lot of them looked rather perfect. And an unfortunate too many were too big.

[ann ashtray]

In retrospect, the 90's did kind of suck. It was fun at the time but most of the accessible shit going on was very throw-away.

And singles is an awful movie.

[gmku]

Hmm. I don't think skinny girls have been particular to any decade, at least in my lifetime. I remember some really cute skinny girls in the 70s. Hmm, I guess I just like them skinny.

[gmku]

singles is a TERRIBLE movie.

[knox]

yes, i feel nostalgic about the 90's everyday.
every fucking day.
