Re: problems with commission proposal voting
Hi Lee, Pall, all
yeah I got through them all. But...yes.. there do seem
to be a number of duplicate proposals... clearly the
same although worded slightly differently..Also
whatever the mechanism that took me through the voting
was, it took me through the 170s or thereabouts about
four times :) a weird groundhog day like experience...

Re: Re: martin kippenberger has left the building
HI Regina
I'm sorry to hear you are not well.
You need to take care of yourself & not worry about
stuff so much.
You and your museum are a force for good.
You've presented lots of peoples' work in an
enormously generous way & you've made beautiful work
yourself.
I don't *think* anyone wants to make you unhappy or to
criticise you unjustifiably. If they do they are not
worth worrying about.
Concentrate on getting better & then come back to
Rhizome & to the other lists.
If the lists can't absorb & benefit from your
personality, your work, your thoughts and your care
for the work of others, then they in turn are not
worth worrying about.
Take it easy & get better.
warmest wishes
michael

new work : 'Santa Monica' & 'Intimacy'
Hi
couple of quite sharply contrasting new pieces.
Big files, I'm afraid, but take a look if you can :)
If anyone finds industrial grade profanity offensive,
you might want to skip "Intimacy"..
