The artists behind VVORK (a favourite site of mine) recently curated an exhibition at Gallery West in Den Haag and invited me to write an intro essay for them.
(I also took advantage of Sally's reading on Aby Warburg to start me off on it)
They left the word 'clusterfuck' in the text, but they edited out the five paragraphs I wrote about my dog.
hah. It's a good essay!
great! If loving "the idea of an gigantic open ended visual listing of discrete objects and projects" makes one a greedy barbarian, then I too, am a greedy barbarian. Also, I feel like a barbarian because I have no clue how to pronounce "VVork". I either avoid the issue or wind up sounding like the swedish chef. Can sombody help me? And how is the dog?
I don't have a clue either, Rob, I usually say v-v-ork.
And the dog is a giant 'tard. Bratty too, now that he isn't afraid I'll send him back to a shelter.
You could threaten to pimp him out (and not in the sense of getting him a grille, although I'd pay to see that)

When I was looking for a dog, I thought of sharing ownership & responsibility with some friends. But in the end, they felt that their work and travel schedule was unfair for even half a dog, so I have become accustomed to my 24 hour stalker.
I actually have a lot of willing dog sitters too, since he's pretty charming.
...he also eats babies.
