hail proles, on the eve of mayday… for those of you who were not able to shell out the $35 or sneak into today’s art≠design symposium at the museum of design, the text and images presented, in a more formal package than was presented today, will soon be available in the features section. unfortunately, the witticisms and supreme ad-libbing contained in today’s oration, in which i called the room the symposium was held in ‘repugnant’, charged the people to ‘care about cinder block walls because some d00d spent a day of his life building it’, and said the taj mahal was ‘not a good building’, are lost forever, into the ether. next time y’all see dave webb you can ask him how much scenery was chew’d up thar. thanks to the folks i met, ecpk (east coast pk (perry kirk)), and the lightroom d00d (kevin byrd), and thanks again to laura moody for her help these past few months!

lmoody just called and re extended her invitation to participate in the art≠design symposium. she wants wrk.grp to speak for 30 minutes on our movement between design and art and our perceived boundaries and functions of the disciplines. any thoughts… got a taut rope?

oh yeah, additional services: powerpoint slideshow.

here is an abstract for a feature under development which is also being submitted for consideration to the ACSA for a conference in the fall at the university of louisiana/lafayette. it deals in some fashion with the work.group’s marquis project and its investigation of allegory’s role in the design of a practice. also investigated will be the shortcomings of post-enlightenment monotheism, kafka, and boots stamping on human faces—forever.

Greetings mesdames and messieurs, twinks and taurs,

The first book, ‘marquis’, of the work.group epic _ex_nihilo_ has been closed. For those who were unable or unwilling to attend the show at the Museum of Design Atlanta in person, the work.group has put together a virtual romp where the text and vignettes follow the same temporal order as the work in the the MODA installation.

The virtual show may be found at:

In addition, the work.group has compiled and made public a series of
digital images of the installation process, the work in situ, and the
fête d’ouverture.

Enjoy, furries
