sorry. i just got this email from the new emerging voices d00d who said i needed to answer immediately. hopefully you will find this up to snuff.

How did participation or selec-tion benefit you? (personally or as a firm)

The exhibition gave us a forum to frame our past work in a new way. We did not look at this as an opportunity to just show our work but to present it in a unified way that would transform it into a living mission statement, an allegorical charter for usefulness. We did not take anything away from the selec-tion directly other than faith in ourselves for being able to complete the work and the excitement at breathing new representational life and potential into old projects.

we can resubmit once ruseveldt is incorporated into the narrative, maybe amsterdam houston imprisons some grant reviewers there.

funny, i was just crying at saul’s feet, ‘if we don’t get that grant, i fucking give up!’

the mf work.group.

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:
sisyphean.com/projekts/marquis/install

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.

These images may be found at:

some things we might have included, and some things that look tight:

• i am not enthused about the display of the map; maybe it could have gone into a frame or had more map ‘on the wall’ (paint/labels)
• the publius frames could have been larger!
• the legends seem prominent; maybe they don’t need corners?
• that ‘mville secedes’ headline is a great opening’ you can peep it from any where in the espace, and it sets off the idea of a fictional realm well.
• those handwritten notes in mville look dumb; ‘i’ should have used the ocr versions.
• i forgot the handwritten p3 journal!
• could have put ‘wrk.grp on the wall, above arlingtonton, large enough to be peeped from the hall/msme space
• added ‘picaresque parable’ or whatever somehere in large type
• added years.
• should not have included the white truck pic; it is lame
• jt’s mom wants us to change our name so jt will get out there? would she tell mick jagger that ‘rolling stones’ isn’t cutting it for him?

cold lounging in p’tree centre mall, peeping ron through the wolf glass, and listening to slack jawed yokels ask for directions to dq. tight work hath been cook’d this week + past months, b’hoy; you should be proud.

“it has been 20 years since the events chronicled here began; 20 years since the brutal slaying of publius/3; 20 years i have spent combing pussy out of my beard”
