In all of these cities, I am looking for a usable past. Baroque counter-reformation is not going to work. Art Nouveau will not work, mishmash architecture will not work. Post-modern will not. The onlything that worked this trip was the people in the streets and the graffiti. Appropriation of public space for private use. AMEN>

put your hand to the gospel plow boy.

Either our institutions and projects are in perfect alignment with the standard model or we must accept the fact that we are acculturated, middle-class, complacent accomodators and collaborators to the status quo. NO MIDDLE GROUND. Now, what is the standard model.

Wonder about multilingual horizontal Nudes ala Klimt.
