As it's all about temporality & perception these snaps can't do it justice... PS1 didn't allow photographs so there are none here but I actually preferred the MOMA portion of the show anyway... There is an awful lot to say about this work and it's now being said... For me he is the leading figure of a rekindled phenomenological strain in art and thinking to emerge from the tektopian '90's... and really almost the first 21st century art star of a global significance to emerge anywhere... Integrating Merleau-Ponty (by name) and Guy Debord (in his implied critique of spectacularized alienated Time...) Eliasson brings the breathing moment back to Art... and we should thank him profusely for this...

There were 2 versions of the band: The first, a quintet, was a guitar driven mostly cover band doing 'new wave' reinterpretations of earlier 'historical' or 'roots' rock and pop in off campus bars and local "Triple Cities" roadhouse dives -etc... At this stage the personelle was: Lee Ranaldo who was primarily the vocalist also played some rhythm guitar Steve 'Burner' who was a hippy fusionist technical sort of 'lead' guitarist (who - to his credit - at least had the good sense to be a fan of Robert Quine) Mike Gross who was a Les Paul bending blues rocker who didn't like 'punk' but went on to play on Glenn Branca's first EP 'Lesson Number One' Rich Brewster (aka 'Julian Blade') was the bassist who was also an electronics engineer who built many of David Jone's video synthesizer modules at the Experimental Television Center then in downtown Binghamton.

Copyright 1968 by Jack Burnham.<br><br> A polarity is presently developing between the finite, unique work of high art, that is, painting or sculpture, and conceptions that can loosely be termed <i>unobjects</i>, these being either environments or artifacts that resist prevailing critical analysis. This includes works by some primary sculptors (though&nbsp; some may reject the charge of creating environments), some gallery kinetic and luminous art, some outdoor works, happenings, and mixed media presentations. Looming below the surface of this dichotomy is a sense of radical evolution that seems to run counter to the waning revolution of abstract and nonobjective art. The evolution embraces a series of absolutely logical and incremental changes, wholly devoid of the fevered iconoclasm that accompanied the heroic period from 1907 to 1925.
