randomly, randomly

  • The Ecclesiastical Proust Archive is almost as nice as browsing Terrence Kilmartin’s Reader’s Guide to Remembrance of Things Past.
  • The Naumann Daughters of Dada show is very well documented, if the art isn’t, for the most part, quite as nice as one might hope. The best work there is that of Mina Loy, done in the 1950s, like this collaged piece, “Christ on a Clothesline”:

    (There’s a higher resolution version at the NYTimes, though that’s cropped.)

  • And finally, bad phone pictures of the Toynbee tile on the west side of the intersection of 36th Street & Park Avenue:

    random things to remember

    posted here so I don’t forget them:

  • A show of the women of Dada at Francis Naumann. Through July 28.
  • Hans Richter at Maya Stendhal. Through September 16.
  • San Fran MOCA has audio of conversations with Robert Rauschenberg that can be downloaded. Also a fair bit of other stuff there.
  • Cosima von Bonin has a New York show at Friedrich Petzel. Connected somehow to German band Phantom/Ghost. Through July 14.
