I had the great pleasure of first experiencing the work of #LeeUfan during my visit to #naoshimaisland. He remains my favorite living artist and the one with whom I have found most kinship. Thanks to @louisianamuseum.bsky.social for this fantastic interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9_i...

Attended a very inspiring event at Red Wheelbarrow Bookstore in the 5éme arr. yesterday hosted by #editionssuture - I couldn't resist being a fan-boy and asking Étienne Balibar to sign my book. Check out Suture Press and their fantastic publications here: suturepress.com/fr/suture-pr...

There are some days when the internet is like a window. There are other days when the internet is like an endless rolodex of artifacts. In both cases, I suddenly understand Krapp and his last tape a little better. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fI9k...

I had a moment today where I realized how lucky I really am to get to live the way I want to live: as an artist without impediment. It's a rare thing and it may only be temporary; but for the moment, I treasure it.

Sad to hear of the passing of another musical giant. Glad I got to meet Sofia Gubaidulina when I did. Amazing memories of working together at the Klangspuren Festival in Schwaz in 2017..

A poem a happened upon yesterday (on my 37th birthday): www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45477/...

Amazing photo of Italo Calvino and Jorge Luis Borges at the Café Excelsior in Rome (1984)

Just watched #thesubstance - what an incredible film. Bravo to @coraliefargeat.bsky.social for the writing and direction ; absolutely remarkable work !

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Goddamnit, what an amazing poem..

Revisions revisions... come hear the craziness in Paris on March 2.

It's only since my trip to #Japan in August that I got into #Sumo - man o' man, what an incredible Yusho this one was. Was very heartening and beautiful to see the Mongolian #Ozeki #Hoshoryu win a well deserved hard fought title:

Came across the work of #artist @jaclynconley.bsky.social - pretty amazing. In a @louisianamuseum.bsky.social video she describes her incredibly rich process - a combination of historical research, arrangement of photographs, and a very imaginative sensitivity towards the subjects she paints.

Revisions done ! Excited for the first performance of this in March.

Currently watching #Kurosawa 's 'High and Low' - wow. One of those masterpieces. Always been a fan Toshiro Mifune's acting but something about the way the film is shot is just so monumentally captivating. It's like a renaissance painting in every frame.

looking on is #marthagraham while #baryshnikov leaps. worlds colliding.

I don't know if this is ALL of #davidlynch 's short films, but it's a bunch, and I'm excited about it... haven't seen most of these: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn-y...

First double-bar of 2025!

Review in the Observer, September 1965 - 50 years ago. Putting justifiably more complex views on Boulez to the side for the moment, here's me wishing for more art as "acts of courage and perspicacity." To that end, send me links for listening for anything of which I may be ignorant, please!

A #poem by Sándor Weöres (in English translation). Excited to set this text (in it's original Hungarian) for amazing mezzo-soprano Kati Karolyi.

Well, here I am joining the chorus to see what this is all about.
