Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
2/1: mike kelley
I heard today that Mike Kelley passed away. That is not a good thing. But all his work is a very good thing, and I feel lucky that I got to see his great LACMA exhibit in the 90s, which was exciting and funny and heart-breaking and whimsical and intellectual and eye-opening. Chris and I refer to Mike Kelly's art often--it has become part of our lives and our common experience. I am grateful that he shared with the world as much as he did and as long as he could.
