Mickey Cojoins Andrew @ Big John's Agitated Corral

December 2024

 Third Take is "the Charm[ing]", or not. It was a salvage job from inception. Reactionary Election Dismay/ with Shock & Denial & Acceptance & Non-Acceptance all akimbo at the top of the mind. "REDUX"/ plural happens because there is migration of thought and because there is always a more perfect expression and ultimately an Articulation is required.

​

 Second Version incorporates the 2016 reaction-iteration: OH NO!

"Oh no, not again!" wants to be tossed but rhyming History must be lived through.

​

 Shock Jock Mickey K (he Looked! -Maybe) takes it/me on - and probably the entire page as thus far presented.and including "Damnatio Memoraie" -itself possibly evoking unkind reaction and in kind, Action. Mickey's desecration is not presented on MY Web Page but extractions from "his Hit" are Writ Here to the degree he becomes, impermissibly, a collaborator.

​

 I am so accustomed to "The I Don't Get It Girl" and "Graffiti 'machine Boy' DAB" and "Putrescent Purist", etc. that a Discerner is unfathomable and still is. I suppose, I Will, to not be an Imposer; if you happen to find your way in and catharsis occurs: Art Occurred; miraculously. I compose At Me/ -So this is what you see and make of it... -Get over it, move on. Free Expression/ Freedom can't be taken for granted; way to valuable. The artist and its antithesis, the troll, demand it. If it is gone you will miss it every second.

​

 We have ensnared ourselves in an Impetuous/ Narcissistic/ Authoritarian mind, where anything can happen, But Shouldn't. This Opinion thinks we have chosen The Wrong Door and walked though it and there we are.

​

 Initially I expunged John Baldessari, Official Father of Conceptualism. Now he is just part of the tool kit.

We think about what "The Painting" is/ we can't really not.

 The pretty craft task of "copying nature" with antiquated tools is still both alluring and ludicrous.

 I still am enthralled to party at the feet of The Masters and partake "the expanding canon" with some measure of rigor.
