That was pretty weird, and looked easy to do, so I liked it very much!

In one of those TV set hangers you attach to the upside of a wall. So it looked like the main thing were the videos. They were some fine pieces of Rhythm Video Art, alright. But the real thing was that they were a bit too long for you to watch it all standing up, looking upwards. Like maybe more than 20 minutes. I can't say, because I wasn't able to watch it all. But I came back a few times to watch some more of it. I guess that was part of the idea, really. But if it was not in the original plan, what a great unplanned result! It showed us fleeting beauty, just like it happens lots of times, right before our eyes. Good show!

magic carpet ride
- I fail to understand why you are not standing in line to get your new copy of the new Harry Potter book!
- Well, I'm 18 now. I just got me a Magic Wand, and a cord that can easily cross my flat. I'm finding spots that I never knew existed! On the carpet, I mean!
- Great! Call me if you want some hot milk with your cookies!

- Lucia Laguna. She did some big beautiful soft-edge paintings. I think only one was shown this time, because of the size. I understand she does it like Hans Hoffman, starting from real objects and ending with abstract images. In her case, it is the streets of Rio de Janeiro that become abstract landscapes. I only know this because I read it somewhere that she said so, in some newspaper interview, possibly in O Globo. For me, they are just beautiful shapes, and that's truly fine!

Anyway, it had something to do with art as bursting through our barriers, like an overflown cup. Man, was he right about what was going to happen! I'll say it again: we were lucky nobody got accidentally killed on that opening night, for the drunken crowd went quite crazy, and it was too big, and someone could have easily dived head first into the empty pool. Thank God it all ended up well! As for Khalil, I believe he summed up the overall feeling of being inside a war and founding a haven in the art show, where we could be a bit more ourselves. Nice going!

I saw some pamphlet saying it was about how the government should give more money to art schools, or something. I think it's fair enough to say that we not only need more good jobs and hospitals, but also all kinds of schools. And the resulting visual presence of the table after it was left there, as an installation, was intense, and very beautiful. Good show!

It almost got crushed by the drunken crowd during the opening night, and we had to dismantle it and build it up again the next day. That was one of the works that made you smile when you learned the name of it. I like that!

Sure enough, it was a line-simple metal form that resembled someone almost falling under the table, slumped into the chair. The computer was nowhere in sight. But it did have a TV set as a head. The TV was on, and you could see and hear some other part of the art show, near the bar, and nobody was told they were on. You couldn't see them clearly, for they were seen from afar, but the voices were very clear, at times. With 3 thousand people passing through on that opening night, it was quite weird. Scary fun, if you pay attention, and I like it!

I tell you, man: I don't know where art's going to go, but if we do go back to painting for a while, as a mainstream thing, that's a fine way he found to cross that river!

- How's that gonna stop suicide?
- There is no stopping it! But it would eventually become so common, it would be boring for lots of people! That would certainly make suicide rates drop a long long way! It would no longer be the ultrafashionable thing to do!

beautiful death dream
- I had this death dream that felt quite vivid and looked like an example. I died in a car crash that was impossible, for it happened at my job, but the architecture of the place was completely different. So I guess I was being shown what it's like to be dead. For I was suddenly invisible. I kept coming back to my job, unnoticed, and even heard one of my co-workers said she missed me. The thing is, we are not that close. Every time the picture got whiter and harder to define in my eyes. Like I was progressively loosing contact with this world, and going to a place with some very bright lights. I felt funny that I only ever saw this woman that I do not work directly with. The others were white shades. And I was never near my family, or friends, or the one I love. Something told me it was for the best. In the end, I felt my memories vanishing, as I fell asleep into this bright white light.

- Yeah! Like, we have a Planet Government, and it has solved the problem of hunger with a project called Money for Nothing, where all you have to do to get a job doing nothing is to show up once, or send an e-mail, or letter, or give them a call on the phone! The money is very good, and you can work somewhere else, if you like! So everyone can afford to eat and have a nice house, and go out every night and get drunk and dance until dawn! And we have no fatal diseases, except life itself! And also: all the subways and other public transportation have airbags and all, like the best cars! In fact, I'm only here in your planet to get a taste of the danger, by taking that bus that's coming over there! See ya 'round!
