Here’s my first (quick) post there, which will explain why I haven’t been around for a week.

And in the name of double-blogging, I’ll be on Slog this week for all you UnMiamis, too. To start off, let me recommend something I meant to write about before I left for New York: Joan Jonas’s classic Vertical Roll, hiding in plain sight in the breezeway at the Frye here in Seattle. I was reminded of it when I saw it in another entryway: MoMA’s.

Look, you can just about miss it at the Frye: The breezeway is small and unheated, so you just go right through it to the door. But this is where Robin Held has squeezed regular video displays into the programming at the Frye (kind of like the regular-ish videos in the Henry’s elevator).

Held has titled her under-the-radar breezeway video series—based on task-based performances for the camera—It is not a question of knowing whether this interests you but rather of whether you yourself could become more interesting under new conditions of cultural creation.

The title is taken from the manifesto of the avant-garde movement that essentially represents the last gasp of manifesto-based avant-garde movements, the Situationist International, based in Paris in the 1960s and led by Guy Debord, who wrote those words. Remake thyself at will.
