According to e-flux, there is a show of Lee Miller<\/a> prints going on in Germany … doesn’t do me any good here in the desert, but the link to her archive site proved interesting. That woman was gorgeous. I knew she was Man Ray’s muse, and a photographer in her own right, but I had no idea she started out as fashion model for Vogue. Fun to go through the archives.<\/p>\n

Did she even come up in the book of collaborative artists I read about? (The Third Hand<\/i> by Charles Green – why is it that I so many of the art books pertinent to my subject are by non-American authors?) I don’t think that Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller’s collaboration as a form of intimacy will be much more than a long footnote…<\/p>\n

Another long footnote (or paragraph): Dana Augaitis and The Banff Centre for Arts keeps coming up…. that and Rirkrit Tiravanija (because his medium is “interaction”). Augaitis and Sylvie Gilbert apparently curated\/edited “a groundbreaking exhibition and catalogue, Between Views<\/i> in 1991″… the same year Cardiff was there and made her first audio Walk. I am starting to suspect that Augaitis might have influenced Cardiff and Miller. This is all from the book I was reading on my Laughlin trip, Lucy Lippard’s On the Beaten Track: Tourism, Art, and Place<\/i>. (oops, she’s American) Another mention that keeps coming up: the Center for Land Use Interpretation. The picture on p. 20 (I’m not very far along) shows a CLUI Giant Rock tour out in Landers! That’s only a few miles from the Integratron which I wrote about – and practically in my home town. The picture in Lippard’s book was taken before Giant Rock split.<\/p>\n

then.\"giantrock.jpg\" I always forget that this is a local tourist attraction. \"giantrocksplit.jpg\" now.
\nI am glad that I am not the only one who doesn’t know “the whole truth about the Center for Land Use Interpretation…” Doug Harvey from the LA Weekly says there’s a new book that’s going to shed some light on the whole deal. Read the article here<\/a>. And get this, the CLUI headquarters are next door to the Museum of Jurassic Technology – and Ralph Rugoff has an essay in there (how’s that for an art world stamp-of-approval?) Makes me think I have a couple more ILLs to order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
