\u201cWe’ll learn a little later on that this is very important this precessional association, the way things come together rotatively like that.\u201d \u00a0— Buckminster Fuller<\/p>\n

Build-out nearly complete, I moved from my temporary to my permanent studio space in my same arts building yesterday. Once the materials are done off-gassing, this will be one of my best studios. The layout is ingenious, helped,\u00a0helped!<\/i>, by the very columns against which I rail.\u00a0 I used them as creative anchors, boundaries, wall segments, and the space divided up marvelously, South facing windows and all.\u00a0 We\u2019ll see what July has to say about that. It\u2019s ideal for the now way of working, with an actual sitting area that I can\u2019t see from the work area, but, I can see the work area from it.\u00a0 tricky.\u00a0 It has to do with where I sit in each space. I set my tall table in the center of the workspace, like an island – just right.<\/p>\n

X said, about how decoratively finished the current installation\u00a0is and is not, I told him I am always fighting a fussy hand, and he replied, \u2018don\u2019t tell yourself you have that problem, because you don\u2019t and you will work to correct it, and it won\u2019t be the work.\u2019 \u00a0and he was brilliant about the color, brilliant, he asked, pointing a finger at it, why the, what about the color, why this color?\u00a0 And then he looked at me and rotated his head sideways, his smile getting thinner as it curled ever upwarder in our tacit understanding that I obviously can\u2019t answer it right away, so I must keep moving through it.<\/p>\n

Machine makes a proposal, I still hear, that I have no music, that I have musiclessness.\u00a0 I like the idea.\u00a0 I will hear my tinnitus, like the constant thin whine of steam radiators, like tube TV\u2019s on in the other room.<\/p>\n

The musiclessness helps me absorb the moment \u2013 when a show comes down there is\u00a0a feeling of time, of the past becoming itself out of everything we do, so that what it doesn\u2019t get is the sound of the fan and the cool, nearly empty room.\u00a0 I look over the studio door at ‘don\u2019t give it a future,’ hand scrawled in graphite, and I\u2019m not.\u00a0 See.<\/p>\n

I look at the optics work I did the day before the studio move, the last experiments in that studio. I see some uncanny visual similarities between this work on 4\/22 and a graphite drawn piece I did in early 2010 …<\/p>\n

Machine, you think by making the words bigger that I am going to understand any better? Please try everything.<\/p>\n

Later<\/p>\n

I get stuck on a BFuller paragraph, and I can\u2019t allow myself to go forward without feeling that I have absorbed all I can.\u00a0 I am going through these transcriptions of lectures<\/a> like a careful combing, I\u2019ll need to know more about precession.\u00a0 PRECESSION it\u2019s typed in all caps, what way did he say it to cause that?\u00a0 I think to lean my head back on the chair and let myself go into pudding-chinned sleep.<\/p>\n

I think of paper roadmaps, i think of them just now in hope of seeing them fully in my imminent dream, unfolded and every route finger-followed to the next mysterious nowhere.\u00a0 That way we don\u2019t quite hear One An Other despite being the One and Very same being, with, with<\/i>, a mutually agreed upon goal, still we don\u2019t hear each other quite right, that way is the biofroth of thought, the shifted symmetry, the way we look like molds and fungus and cells of bone and wood, all this not hearing and not saying and ineffable unseeability makes thought look like the living rather than the sure edges and regular curves of mathematics and physics. The fact that we can see even\u00a0in dreams ought to bring seeing into question.<\/p>\n

This will be so pleasant, drifting off to Clapton and Winwood\u2019s double trouble live from mm-hmm<\/a> Madison Square Garden, drifting away from it and also toward it.<\/p>\n
