Anti-Ephemeralists Unite!

Have you ever tried to explain what Anti-Ephemeral PoMo Humanism is over really loud bar music? And then try to explain that, no, it's not pretentious, but it's really really exciting? Well that was my night last night, but it was good practice i guess.

To ease and address your anti-ephemeral needs for the day, check out this great article on anti-ephemeralism from Foot in Mouth - it brings up some great points and counter-points from artists such as Tere O'Connor and Adrienne Truscott, as well as curators like Carla Peterson. I'm planning on responding after i read it once more and get my ass to work. Good to know that there are others out there...

I don't get how showing a piece again can possibly be offensive. It's theoretical nonsense. Would people say that of any other art, but dance? Are Cunningham pieces only shown again because of their historical significance? Nonsense I say. Nonsense!
