Re: being/critical
Museum smile--say (Seagram's) whiskey. [Hey R, remember when we had champagne and snacks with Phyllis Lambert at her Montreal loft in Fall 1979? Weren't there like long, white shear draperies hanging all over the place? It's kind of funny to think that she had absolutely no idea what we were doing there. Didn't we also like rudely leave when we got bored? (Those draperies turned out to be useful for something.)]
Went down to Independence National Park this afternoon. Wanted to take pictures of the 1976 Liberty Bell pavilion (Mitchell/Giurgola Architects) before it becomes completely quondam when the Bell is moved to its forthcoming new home in Spring 2003. With all the news about the first Executive Mansion (with slave quarters) of the USA, you would think that the plans to demolish the present Liberty Bell pavilion would be rethought (as I mentioned before).
Anyway, all the historic shrines are now barricaded and guarded (since 9-11), so I took pictures of this latest layer of American shrine history as well.
Palimpsest is not exactly apposition because an erasure occurs before something new is applied. Apposition occurs within palimpsest when traces of what was erased begin to be seen again.
What's really artistic about self-collecting is its ongoing nature as an unfinished work in progress (like the only worthwhile art that John writes of). Self-exhibiting is artistic for the same reason.
So much for quondam opinions.
"What sphinx in here?"

Re: history lesson?
Thank God the future is never set in stone.

ideas
mp/being/nude--this is duchamp, pediment group, ignudi, crack reenactment prints, appose Ruff?, and who knows what else.

alter-ego (for Quondam)
...I started to think about creating an alternative Quondam environment, one that is accessed through Quondam's main page, and utilizes the same collection and themes as Quondam, but nonetheless affords Quondam a "place" to be much more liberal, uninhibited, and all out revolutionary(?). At first it may appear that I am borrowing the theme of schizophrenia + architectures, but that is really not what I intend at all. My main objective is to apply all the new dexterity implications inherent in CAD and the digital revolution vis-à-vis architecture and representation. Perhaps I can go so far as to present the notion of an alter-ego to architectural history as well.
I would like to begin this "alter-ego" virtual museum through presenting any number of cad model distortions and collisions. These new "models" will in turn offer the opportunity to create and engage in new architectural environments that will come to represent a totally new and unprecedented world of architecture--and an infinite new world at that.
I suppose this alter-ego museum will most resemble schizophrenia + architectures in that really anything will go there. I can actively indulge in taking up any of more unconventional ideas and take them to whatever mean or extreme I so choose. Perhaps the correct term for this other Quondam place is super-ego Quondam, a place where architecture enjoys the virtuality of digital infinitude. This could really take off, especially once I go through all my past notes and pick up on the many projects-ideas that I have yet to carry out. This could become somewhat revolutionary, and thus a perfect entry into the next millennium.
