backlog of blog from 9/20

Big breakthrough today with the pace of my work.. it is now 4am Wednesday, well Thursday the 20th .. sadly I am not blogging as regularly as I would like.  Not really sadly, but anyway-- I blame this on the insane timewarp that is the maniacal “institution” that is Elsewhere.  

My first night at elsewhere I used the alley shower—a fabulous construction for which we have Kim Holleman to thank, and the destruction of which we have Simone Frazier to thank.  Like most things here, this gerry-rigged work of genius requires several steps in several locations in and outside of 2 buildings to use—a process that begs for lapses of memory.  Needless to say I forgot one of these steps. The consequences were dire. Because I didn’t turn off the tap at the kitchen sink that the hose which leads to the shower outback is connected to, the water pressure inside the hose built up, and the hose, having been the victim of this same negligence on many previous occasions, BLEW UP.  

Hence my first Elsewhere piece.
REMEMBER THE HOSE – photos to come.

This lightbox sign was originally intended merely as a reminder to future alley-shower users, but it has since become a symbol of an omnipresent phenomenon at the Elsewhere heterotopia, and the global heterotopia that we all inhabit.  Distractions are everywhere, we must embrace the schizoid fractallized space with its the tangent-loaded objects that confronts us at every turn, AND talk to the inner voice of memory and whatever else we happen to be thinking bout, AND simultaneously see our immediate plans (i.e., shower) through AND make coherent pertinent work—not to mention the coordinating, negotiating and collaborating with the other totally distracted minds in our midst.  We should all seriously give ourselves a major pat on the back because no kidding, we are heroes for getting through each day and remembering all those hoses.
