David Hockney Six Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm
I present to you the ultimate “Book I Want, Do Not Have, Cannot Afford”.
David Hockney’s Six Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm is a combination of modern illustrations alongside an English translation of the Grimms’ German text. This modern vision of the Grimms’ fairy tales was handset and bound in a miniature edition with a keen eye toward recreating bibliographic and physical elements—letterpress printing, high-quality rag paper, colophon—in a traditional fashion.The printed fairy tale in all of these forms is an artifact that represents more than “Red Riding Hood” or “The Little Mermaid”; these examples represent the significance of the book form in cultural phenomena like storytelling. Although oral tales retain properties of fluidity, these printed tales are moments of fixity—unique artistic visions that encapsulate specific cultural movements and sensibilities. It’s worth visiting the library to see them; I’d love to share them with you!via…Damn you LACMA for bringing this to my attention. DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!
(Yes, I may have fallen to the floor and shook my fists in the air. No, you may not judge me for that.)
I like how it looks like an ancient book, a truly magical book. Damn, I want to see that.

“My way is to establish Walt Disney style. I believe Walt Disney is a super artist…. Some people say he is artist or not. I think much more than Marcel Duchamp is Walt Disney concept piece, really hardcore. Because he can get what people desire. And then I read he was alcoholic, and he got his ideas when he drank. It is really artist style!”

PERFORMANCE ARTGASM
So after I discovered video of Ant Farm’s fantastic 1975 piece Media Burn I jokingly said to hyde that next thing I’ll find out that there’s video of Yoko Ono’s Cut Piece.
IT TURNS OUT THERE IS VIDEO OF YOKO ONO’S 1965 PERFORMANCE.
I AM FREAKING THE FUCK OUT OVER HERE.
CUT PIECE CHANGED MY LIFE EVERYBODY
Love this. I love you guys. To find this. Also; will this ever be the same again? Will artists ever not record their performance / suppose it recorded to youtube in real time? That makes these older recordings SO remarkable; I remember sitting down in the Stedelijk in Amsterdam with 10 betamax tapes and a recorder to watch Bruce Nauman’s performances in their collection for a thesis for art school. Great times. Felt really imtimate. Man, I’m getting old. Love the internet. (Is it friday night here and did I drink some glasses of wine? Why, yes, I did. Awesome.)

But it’s not only the passive-agressive dismissal of Mattise’s “so-called art” that I find most interesting in that passage, but rather the resentment against his “band of followers” and their devotion. What’s at stake in the mini-drama this statement describes is controlling the master narrative. This writer knows it, and he/she sees that his/her side is losing the upper hand in it. It’s not just that the writer doesn’t like Matisse’s work. It’s that he/she doesn’t like that other people like Matisse’s work.The blog of Edward_ Winkleman is extremely interesting as of late; a very insightful peek into the (gallery) art world and thoughts about its mechanisms and workings. Highly recommended. For example: Dumber Than Jesus (or Losing Control of the Master Narrative)
