In the book, New Media in Art pgs 28-38, one of the things that I thought was interesting was how performance art got its start. And it was Jackson Pollock Lucio Fantana, and Shimamoto (36). The action was art. Canvas and painting were part of the medium of the performance. And some artists would record there performance and play them during the show. Which i thought was smart of them to do because it gives the audience a chance to see how the artist works. And perhaps the paint on canvas or whatever material was painted on was not the main focus. I love to splatter paint when I'm feeling anxious, angry, or even sad because its fun to get it all out on the canvas.
This weekend I went to an awesome record store in Seattle called Easy Street Records. Man oh, oh man was I was in vinyl record heaven, at first glance the store had some records, merch, and cafe. And I was a little excited to fully know to expect, so I checked out a few bins seeing that it was a marked sale. And some rows wrapped around the upper level which was small but it had a whole lot of vinyl records. Words cannot explain the feeling in a record store and a great one for that matter. But what made this store worth the trip was the number of rare records that you cannot find at Best Buy, Barnes n Nobles, Wal-Mart or Adventure Land Comics store. This place is my top favorite record store aside from RIP "Off the Record" which unfortunately went out business.
