An orderly procession
An orderly procession Project Gutenberg, the online archive of literature, ironically destroys printed books in order to salvage the information. Ironically, the process turns well ordered, collated text into a collection of dis-bound, chaotic materials that may or may not convey conventional information to us.

He has reconsidered the book in all its parts and has chosen attributes to highlight. Project Gutenberg project by Jeff Rathermel September 23- November 18, 2011 Opening Reception Friday, September 23, 7-10pm Susan Hensel Biography – Contemporary Art by Susan Hensel Learn about contemporary art by Susan Hensel. Susan Hensel received her BFA from the University of Michigan in 1972 with a double major in painting and sculpture and a concentration in ceramics.

Progress toward performance
Progress toward performance Progress toward performance. Intrepid. Deliberate. Calm. The steps toward the performance Friday are being taken. Rather like planning for a mountainous trek. The Sherpa's are gathered (Dale Kennedy, Dean Ebben Senior, Me), the materials organized and assessed. Weights and measures are taken. The scene, from the metaphoric peak I seem to have imagined, is being set.
