this friday…the 13th, the work.group makes a rare descent from its cork-lined
cockloft for a public appearance at the city kitties 4th annual art auction fundraiser. this year, the work.group has put up for auction two hot pieces: Harlistan, 1938 and mmm-sections #101.

here is a rehash of earlier years’ posts, w/ the time and date updated:

all the cash you’ll put down for these works will go towards City Kitties’ stated mission: “City Kitties is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, no-kill, volunteer-run rescue dedicated to helping stray cats in West Philadelphia.” if you can’t make it to bid on the night of the auction, city kitties are more than happy to accept donations anytime of the year; visit their site for more information on donations and to find a cool urban cat who is looking to adopt a family.

as mentioned, the auction is on friday the 13th, but you can check out more details on the event at facebook:

new work?

perfect (movies)

jt — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 05:01:47 +0000

the work.group share an affinity for designating certain works as ‘perfect.’ i would enjoy sorting through some of these in various genres. probably the easiest is movies. feel free to argue with any that should not be canonized. this effort should pull no punches, nor should it find shame in the pettiness of a particular gripe. i think 2001 is a fantastic, medium-defying, masterwork. but that fetus at the end seems out of place and aesthetically inappropriate to me. obviously it was the image the master wanted to use to tell the story and probably was out of place for a reason. but it just seems hamfisted after all the brilliance that precedes it that i just have to close my eyes and see blackness for the last refrain of zarathustra. hence, it isnt a perfect movie.
