Statement

My Stone Pony screen saver for Kristina Perez and the avant garde Manhattan music group dopo yumé. Using street-team photographs of the group's performance at the Stone Pony night club, the group performs in a space station and returns to Earth in a space shuttle.

In October, 2005, I visited with Jordan Galland and David Mueller from the band performing at Don Hill's in Greenwich Village, and I saw Adam Crystal perform at Irving Plaza. Jordan has released an award winning independent film, "Smile for the Camera," and the band has released a new album. Band member Sean Lennon has also premiered his new solo song "Dead Meat," on East Village Radio and on his MySpace.com blog.

I've submitted the three-minute video dopo yume screensavers to play at the Free-First-Saturday Family Day screening of films and videos from mnartists.org at the Walker Art Center on February 2, 2008.

Read my bed-side telephone interview with Yoko Ono in "A Fluxus Amung-us," from Cake magazine, April,1993. Time magazine paraphrased my sentence, "The contents of the cases, categorized and named, is evidence that the Fluxus artists captured life's objects, sounds, movements, images, and feelings and dropped them in our laps." in an article about authors Lewis Carol and John Lennon. Yoko Only, the Yoko Ono fan club, republished my article in their web database. I was thinking about the wild sounds of the opening of a Picasso exhibition that I read about in Picasso's written diarys, when I wrote this review of the Fluxus art exhibtion at the Walker Art Center. The article also mysteriously and sadly foreshadows the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
