These look amazing together.

Ingrid Calame doesn't fit.

She projects and traces "found" marks, like if Lisa Ruyter did paintings from photos of splotches.

Mountain Man said...

They are made from the stains traced on streets and sidewalks. Traced stains. Seems right to me. There is definitely a step in-between the original stain and the final image, distancing it a bit, but still I think it's an interesting path within the idea of index.

Why doesn't it fit? Curious.

Mountain Man said...

It's just one point along the continuum, maybe.

You should make up a name for yourself, anon. It's friendly.

I feel like there are more artists we could think of...but who?

Mountain Man said...

Actually I am still trying to think of burn/smoke drawings.

Anonymous said...

Yves Klein had some burn paintings, right? Who else?

I just wanted to repeat myself: Hello! I had the most splendiferous evening with all of you ! so many happy glowing times with so many fine people. I loved the tower of taste treats, and the thrilling, many actions a minute dancing. blammo!

Anonymous said...

Hi Meredith,
Were you at this shindig at Ned's the other night?

Mountain Man said...

Hiya Lupis. I would like a repeat of that evening very soon. It is time to re-dance and re-eat, re-drink, etc. It was great seeing you and your wacky great lady who I love.

Anonymous said...

No Randy, I was not invited. It's ok.

Mountain Man said...

Meredith, if you had appeared earlier I definitely would have invited you. Are you exciting?

Anonymous said...

I know Meredith, I wasn't invited either. I did go to Dark Pond though and spied on Gwendoline. She is so hot, but she dances funny, real hippie like.

Mountain Man said...

Explain her dancing. Does she smile broadly?

So MM, as to your nude-i-tude, I said it once and I'll say it again. These folkls at threadbared.blogspot can be hilarious. Go stockingpeople.

Mountain Man said...

I love nude-o-tards. I love threadbared. Thank you for mentioning it again, it is very special. I am white.

Sorry,
Gwendoline dances like she wanted to be an ice dancer and her parents couldn't afford skates. Plus there is a wobbly atrophy to her musculature, probably due to her Vegan lifestyle playing with fairies. Still, she is so hot.

Mountain Man said...

She sounds spastic.

More loosey-goosey.

This is fantastic, MM.
And plus it's gotten my tiny tired brain working again.
Stains are conceptually very interesting to me.
I'm trying to remember the name of the artist guy, I think from Taiwan or China, not sure, but anyway he does the pyro/burning thing. I think he's done some fireworks shows, and a piece using the smoke trails from choreographed fighter jets, and last year here at the San Diego art museum they showed his very large (10' x 30'?) drawing made by laying out gunpowder and you know, lighting it. The drawing was of a massive & beautiful tree.
But I can't remember his name or where he's from.
How's that for helpful?

Mountain Man said...

Capt'n, it sounds like Cai Guo=Qiang, who is third from bottom. I just learned about him from FB.

Anything else you come up with would be welcome!

Stains are mucho important to me as well. Panty stains, pit stains, etc.

Randy, I am sure you are expert in this field, no?

I have made up a new drink: vodka and birch beer. Mmmmm.

I am practicing my deep knee bends alone. I am out of shape, I need to re-invigorate. Please help. Help me to go to the pain arena to make deep knee bending easier. I avoid it so, I want to be nimble again.

Meredith you need a good birching.
And yes MM I do have a degree in staining.
PhDeeeeeeeelicious.

Where's the whore? I am ready to beat her with raw fish and mealy worms.

My thumb is hurting real bad like from the laptop mouser. Ouch. This is wrong. I must cease.

Wherever.

MM, I was wondering if that was the same guy. This early onset Alzheimer's is a bitch.
Now I'm stumped for any other names.
Rosemarie Trockel? I don't know if she would be right for your concepts.

Slutonmycouch, you are lost. You need a special kind of love that can't be bought. Get off the couch; that is where the hole is.

MM are you OK? Did you make it out alive? I barely escaped with my life.

Hurrah: Yves Klein.

Was it Robert Henri who celebrated the trace? ...something like "art is what you leave behind, the trace of your being."
