[-empyre-] Response to Virgina Re: Robert's Response on Queer Mésentente

[Christina McPhee]

WHOA!!!!  I had no idea one of our guests has been, all this time,   
actually above the -empyrean-.

Is this a descent from Olympus (probably Vancouver--hey its a Left  
Coast kind of trip)?  Feeling like  Zeus,  scamming around,  looking  
for Leda? Or, as Baudelaire would dream, of Hermes at the crossroads?

Warning: Hermes is the god of artists, wayfarers, thieves, left-handed  
people and psychotics.


Like the author of Correspondances,  I dream of metamorphs.  Dear  
mortals: THIS week to write about actual works of art.

  Let's start with Virginia's "Tainted Love."

And... while we are on the subject: Expose yourselves (sorry!) to some  
of the works of art that have been already introduced in this space.   
Skeleton Woman, Bromance, Tesserae. Meat Love.  Tainted Love. Blood  
and Glass.

I look forward especially to more on the exhibition 'Tainted Love,",  
specific works in it.

Emily Roysdon, artist, editor, agent provocateur, arrives soon.
