Pictures
at left and right are of my: Post-modern sculpture
(title, obliquely contributed by Mark Lindquist,
18/19 July 1998CE): "If
you see a turtle on top of a fence post, you know he didn't get there
himself..." (date: 11 July 1998CE; height: 39-1/4 inches; materials:
bricks, pressure-treated wood post, granite(?) block, and the thought
of placing a postage stamp under the block; photos
by the artist, 11 July 1998CE).
The
sculpture (obviously) alludes to Brancusi's work, and to the wood sculptures of my friend,
Mark Lindquist (although, of
course, Mr. Lindquist is in no way responsible for this one-way linkage! Also: allusion,
especially when fully attributed, as here, is not plagiarism!). I
believe my sculpture relates to the problematic(s) of post-ness somewhat differently than
any of my sources (in Brancusi's case, among other possible reasons, because
he pre-deceased the two-faced event of modernity's death / post-modernity's
birth...).
On 12 June 1999CE, I moved the
