Shade And Pigeon – Linda Bamber
Tuesday, June 28, 2011 14:45 — 0 Comments
A man is balancing himself on some bedroom furniture in order to hang a shade on one of her windows. She appreciates his help since she has been unable to get that shade to stay up by her own efforts. Since her husband moved out, many small things have gone unattended, although she did replace some sewage pipes in the basement. The man has spread his legs at an odd angle in order to keep his balance. He is naked, and as she doesn’t know him very well and his back is turned, she lies in bed and watches him […]

Dr. Albright was annoyed when his wife Muriel told him, late in the afternoon of his seventieth birthday, that their son Stuart and family would not be arriving until the evening. He’d looked forward to seeing Stuart and disliked being kept waiting under any circumstances. Still, a late arrival meant that much less time to be endured in the company of Ruth, Stuart’s fat, overbearing wife, before the couple drove into Boston, leaving their little girls for the weekend, in his care. Now it was too late even to chip at the golf course, so he sat down on the […]

Anthony Sonnenberg encrusts bobcats with pearls and integrates gold-leaf, crystal and porcelain into scenes of flamboyant stillness.  His work vividly references the tradition of trophy hunting paired with the lavish interiors of the Rococo movement. Conceptually, Sonneberg is interested in exploring and questioning the cultural constraints that arise from forming personal identity through the lust  of objects, his interest in this subject he credits to growing up in rural Texas where the cultural norm embraced all that was hyper-masculine. Sonnenberg is an MFA candidate at the University of Washington and received his BA from the University of Texas, Austin. He […]

I have been back from my travels now for a couple of weeks and a wealth of feelings, thoughts and aspirations have surfaced. Seattle is home and it is good to be home. The travels in Africa put me in touch with an overwhelming feeling of abundance: creative visions and intentions and also the hesitancies that accompany such visions. Performing is a powerful experience even when you are less than present during. It offers an immediacy of relief to your creative visions and hesitancies. Yet at the same time one’s creative visions and hesitancies must fuel what one does. Performing […]

Different musics demand different venues for the creation of an optimum sonic experience.
The answer isn't poetry, but rather language
