This is from an episode of the squeaky-clean game show Supermarket Sweep. The question was “This is a type of seafood.”

Oh man! Didn’t this show used to come on PAX? I hated it and yet watched it every day in the summer.

I remember really liking Supermarket Sweep. Especially the final “Big Sweep” at the end. INTENSE.

Due to an incredible stroke of luck, I’m going to be in Portland next week when Ursula Le Guin speaks at a local bookstore on anarchism in fiction, which of course means that I’m returning once again to this book. I know that I sound hyperbolic whenever I discuss it, but I’m seriously coming close to tears every few paragraphs, and I’m only 25 pages in. Something about this book strikes right to my core; I doubt that I’ll ever feel closer to another book, or really any other thing.

Still need to read this. I hope she is speaking at Powell’s City of Books! Love Powell’s.

When I was in London, I had the opportunity to see the current Turbine Hall exhibition. Absolutely astounding. I think it is rather reminiscent of Salcedo’s work, but instead of a giant chasm in the floor, it is a hole in the fabric of Tate Modern itself.

If you have time, watch this video about Miroslaw Balka’s How It Is.

An installation consisting entirely in a crack in the floor of the Tate Modern, created over five weeks. I want to hop around it!

“Doris Salcedo’s Shibboleth is the first work to intervene directly in the fabric of the Turbine Hall. Rather than fill this iconic space with a conventional sculpture or installation, Salcedo has created a subterranean chasm that stretches the length of the Turbine Hall.” (via tate.org.uk)

“What is important is the meaning of the piece. The making of it is not important,” she said. Asked how deep the fissure goes, she replied: “It’s bottomless. It’s as deep as humanity.”

According to the artist, the piece is a statement about racism, with the crack representing the gap between white Europeans and the rest of humanity.
