The all-glass enclosure within the arcades at the top of the tower is one of my most favorite rooms.

A series of laser prints (on Artforum pages) entitled "Price List" which will be lists of my artworks and their prices. It will again be the "advertising of art", advertising as art, even.

Archinect @ Postopolis!
Not so much outside, rather, more beyond inside. Very much in the territory, but not within the normal restraints of the territory.
If you're in the fourth dimension, does that mean you can have your cake and eat it too?

Archinect @ Postopolis!
metamechanic, I wasn't trying to evoke Derrida or Deleuze with "beyond inside", rather trying to relate my own behavior (as sometime critic) within the realm of architecture. Allow me to reference my own experience to explain where at least my de-territorialized behavior comes from.
Looking back, it started with learning and working with CAD in 1983, not within academia, but within a professional office (the first to introduce CAD in Philadelphia). I had a typical architecture background, but no computer background, then a week and a half crash course in Huntsville, AL, then big INTERGRAPH system arrives, and then told to make it all happen. Now I was very much in the territory of architecture, but, because of the whole newness of CAD within architecture, a window to beyond the inside had opened up. Within two years I found myself employed by the Dean's Office of the Graduate School of Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania. I have no Graduate degree, but they were paying me to be there. I ran a CAD consulting business for the GSFA (where the computer labs are now on the third floor of Meyerson Hall) to help offset the cost of their INTERGRAPH system. Again, very much right in the territory, but also a lot beyond it. Within three years of that I had my own CAD system and my own CAD consulting business--great while it lasted. Then the recession of 1990. Then an insular creative period where I used the CAD system in my basement to explore "un-built" architecture by constructing 3D CAD models of architectural designs that were never executed, and accumulated a sizable collection of models. That's when I really went beyond inside, exploring all this architecture that didn't even exist. And then in 1996 the Internet and the virtual...

Re: David Rimanelli
David,
What you write and how you write are enjoyable, but there isn't all that much unique about it in these days of split-second electronic communication. For example, all i got is this lousy's ongoing reports (here at talkback) of her many visits to Cremaster/Guggenheim are just as valuable/valid as ENTRIES.
Following the Pincus-Witten historical precedent is (I suppose) admirable, but is it anything beyond that? Try thinking Pincus-Witten with a website cum following.

I now think that 'all i got is this lousy' was Jerry Saltz.

1956. Monday, New York City

Back from his short visit to New York, Marcel continues to repair the Large Glass [5.2.1923], assisted for a couple hours by Carl Rasmussen, the builder from Bethel.

1927.06.04
1927. Saturday, Paris
In accordance with French tradition, a few days before their wedding Marcel and Lydie meet in the presence of Henri Sarazin-Levassor, Maître Pierre Girardin (acting for the Sarazins), and Me Alexandre Lesguillier (acting for Duchamp), to read and sign the marriage contract, under which the husband and wife administer their separate properties.
One article determines that all pictures, sculptures and modern prints will always be considered as belonging to Marcel.
However, when it is announced that the life annuity settled on Lydie by her father amounts to 2,500 francs a month [6,500 francs at present values], Marcel's dissatisfaction can be read on his face in spite of his efforts to remain calm. He knew already that the marriage would not make him rich [25.5.1927], but the extraordinarily meager sum for Lydie is barely enough for her alone to live on. After the contract has been signed by all the parties, Marcel takes Lydie to the Luxembourg Gardens, where he paints a sombre picture of their future. Lydie realizes for the first time, with alarm, that her fiancé has no regular income.
