Ok.
1. Farley Gwazda wrote a blog entry the other day about an art talk we gave together in Florida, & he included a short YouTube clip from the talk.
It's good, so you should check it out:

2. My favorite French philosopher, Jean Baudrillard, died on Tuesday (3/6/07).
He was 77.
"The world was given to us as something enigmatic and
unintelligible, and the task of thought is to make it, if possible, even more
enigmatic and unintelligible."
- Baudrillard, "Impossible Exchange," 2001
3. I'm currently working on an exhibition proposal for an art show in the Lower East Side. I will keep you updated...
4. I've also begun working on a novel based on the life of Alessandro de' Medici. Born to a beautiful black African servant girl in Italy in 1510 (the same year that Bosch painted his "Garden of Earthly Delights" and nine years after the first African slaves were brought to the West Indies), Alessandro ruled as Duke of Florence during the decadent twilight of the Italian Renaissance. In 1533, he married the daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor - a title Alessandro might well have inherited himself one day, had he not been assassinated by his distant cousin, Lorenzaccio (or "nasty Lorenzo"), at the age of 27.

Hi Logan - I found your blog! I am in Berkeley now, and just borrowing someone's laptop, so I can't give you the proper time, but I am very excited that you are writing.
I think you need to post on EPN about the fact that you have a blog, and then tell your friends about it. I will put a link on my blog too and then things will take off for you and you will have as many readers as a seasoned pro like me...
I'll be back in Jersey on Thurs and then have time to have time.
Baudrillard died? That's so sad. I like that you're blogging. Blogging is [something]. Hi logan!!
I'm 27!
Sorry I missed your call, I am in a meeting. What's up?
