is kind of what is wrong with this consumer culture. Is it not? The last conversation I read from Gablik's "Conversations before the end of time" was about the way we cannot continue with the way industrial society's mind set and the consumption that goes with it.
In suburbia here every park we go visit has a parking lot full of vans. (Of course mother's need space- but really how mush space? How much stuff can one really take along to the playground?) And as we walk bigger and even BIGGER buildings are being built to sustain the bigger and ever growing MICROSOFT. The growth cannot be forever exponential. The curve swings the other way naturally. But I do feel like we have to live each moment conscientiously for every act, thought leads to something. What is that 'something' that we really want?
Let me know more about what they wanted from Meaning, Cleaning. I am participating in two small works shows; scraps are off to Toronto while the eggs are being shipped to New Jersey. Now to pack up the family and work for my first residency in Vermont- we will be in the air this Wednesday! I will try to record, reflect on the experience here. Off to read "Playing and Reality" by Winnicott.
