I can't imagine a sudden lateral displacement of the base being ANY good for
those.

St. Denis saw a lot of very important people from around Europe attend the
opening.

The walls only have to hold themselves up so imagine them gone with the
decoration. St. Chapelle is my favourite for this. It is small and late but
very true to form. Like to use it so say "Mies wasn't all that."

That's why I hate trying to watch the Olympics. Too much human interest crap
and not enough event. Same problem with too many photo books. It SAYS on the
cover that it's Turkestan but really it's two pictures of Turkestan and one
hundred of Turkestanians. Fuck the Turkestanians. As much as I hate the
genre, I've got to give some credit to the "Pictures of my gay junkie
friends in their underwear" people.

See, it's about the thing. I don't care how tortured Jackson Pollock was, I
don't care about the dynamism of the act of painting. Hung on a wall it
looks like crap.

Yup.
