Not In Service (words scribbled on a napkin)
It is no longer even interesting for me to wonder why for such long periods I have grown silent. But I do keep wondering what that silence is saying , because it is clear to me that it is saying something more precise and encompassing that I can now put into words. What is it telling me? Is it telling me that writing does so much more for the reader than it does for the writer? Is it saying that often, with writing I feel that I am painting myself into a corner? Is it murmuring to me that my words are a drop in the bucket, not even that-- a drop in the ocean, in an avalanche, a tidal wave? Is it telling me that the conclusions are mostly I-told-you-sos, been there done that, whatever, anything you can say I can say better? Is it saying that the written or blogged or printed word way too often does not enlighten, but, like a match in an underground cave, momentarily dazzles and then leaves the darkness darker? Is it saying that words are not like notes in a classical symphony, but more like sardonic echoes in an institutional lunchroom?

Suddenly!
Did You Miss the Buzz at the Mira Schor Opening at Momenta Art?
Too bad, because that was last night, folks. Now you have only until April 20 to go see this not-to-be-missed show.
Also, check out the announcement of two books by Mira Schor that will be out soon, a book of her essays, and she has also edited a selection from the journals and other writings of the important abstract expressionist artist, Jack Tworkov.
**********************

It is much too noisy. I can't hear myself being quiet.
*******
It is hard to think after trying so hard not to think.
[PS I wrote these after coming home from Mira Schor's opening last night, and only realized just now, that they were very likely inspired by her terrific show!]

A Must-See Art Show!
Mira Schor
Momenta Art
momentaart.org
359 Bedford Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11211
(718) 218-8058
March 20 through April 20, 2009
Reception: Friday, March 20, 7-9 pm
Gallery hours: Thursday through Monday, 12-6
What would the self-portrait of a thought look like?
Momenta Art is pleased to announce “Suddenly,” New Paintings by Mira Schor, Schor’s first one-person show in New York in over a decade. These works mark a departure in Schor’s work, from the depiction of language as image to the suggestion of its lack in a space where we expect to see it. “Suddenly,” marks the moment when personal loss or political babble creates a loss for words. Schor has turned to the most basic form that came to mind: the empty thought balloon, where language was or will or should be.
Richly surfaced, bold, witty, notational, provisional, the paintings in this show were made in quick gestures, taking five minutes to an afternoon. They function unpredictably, as existential encounters that emerge from political absurdities or epochal tragedies – experienced in the everyday.
A conceptual artist who is a painter’s painter, a feminist who is an odd inheritor of the approaches to painting of the New York School, a noted writer on both feminism and painting, Mira Schor has long worked at the razor’s edge between visual and verbal languages. Her paintings have been foregrounded by these various disciplines: by painting, with shows such as Slow Art: Painting in New York Now, at P.S.1; by feminism, with shows such as Sexual Politics: Judy Chicago's "Dinner Party" in Feminist Art History, at the Armand Hammer Museum; and by language, with shows such as Poetry Plastique, at Marianne Boesky Gallery in New York. Schor is the author of Wet: On Painting, Feminism, and Art Culture and co-editor with Susan Bee of M/E/A/N/I/N/G: An Anthology of Artists’ Writings, Theory, and Criticism (both from Duke University Press) and of M/E/A/N/I/N/G Online at http://writing.upenn.edu/pepc/meaning/ Schor has two new books coming out in 2009, The Extreme of the Middle: Writings of Jack Tworkov, which she has edited, from Yale University Press, and a new collection of her own writings on art and culture, A Decade of Negative Thinking: Essays on Art, Politics, and Daily Life, to be published by Duke University Press.

Contradicta
The average American male has an overdeveloped instinct for knowing who he can successfully dupe and push around. The others remain astounded at how stupid and wasteful this is. Stalemate, endless debate and temporizing. courting disaster.
*****
Although it sometimes doesn't feel this way, but the appropriate response in many situations is to not know what to say and therefore to listen carefully and keep thinking it through.
