I just love it when South Dakota makes the International News.

It's always for something so profound and moving...

Spin, your longing (I was going to say lust but that's just not right) for local international fame may be a little over enthusiastic. I'm just saying (how I love that phrase--Skogg, you're a genius).

Skog, I'm reconsidering coming for Rally if this sort of thing is the "norm" during the rest of the year.

Paul. I guarantee that my friend Chop will hump a mannequin if you promise to come visit during rally.

As conceptual and performance art, the kid makes a pretty heavy statement if you think about it. I'm not so sure he shoud be put in jail.

Maybe he should get an article in Art in America.

I attended a conceptual installation once where you went ip a ramp into a room with an elevated floor. There were little signs on the wall that you had to get up really close to read. No visual imagery anywhere, just this elevated foor and these little signs. When you got clse enough to read the signs (which meant almost touching them with your nose) you read that the artist is under the floor, moving around from signt to sign, masturbating.

The whole experience was pretty peculiar. It was creepy, it was funny, it was sad, it was outrageous, it was sneaky, it made you think about yourself, it made you wonder if you wanted to stay in there or get the hell out. In short, it was a work of avant garde art.

I think it was at the Walker Gallery in Omaha
(or is it Lincoln?). Or maybe the Corcoran in DC.

It was a big time gallery, but I don't recall which one.

(It was in the early 70's)

Skleeve, don't tell anybody, but I don't think anybody was really under there. What do you think. With "concept art" you never know for sure, right? That's how it works. Kind of like religion.
