Saul Steinberg‘s Masks
“In 1958, when photographer Inge Morath went to his home to make a portrait, Steinberg came to the door wearing a mask which he had fashioned from a paper bag. Over a period of several years, they collaborated on a series of portraits, inviting individuals and groups of people to pose for Morath wearing Steinberg’s masks.”

Stops Along the Way
Artist Jennifer Bolande created Visible Distance / Second Sight for the 2017 Desert X biennial exhibition in the Coachella Valley:
“In a cinematic experience animated by driving along Gene Autry Trail, viewers will encounter a series of billboards featuring photographs of the very mountains towards which they are heading. Each photograph is unique to its position along this route and at a certain point as one approaches each billboard, perfect alignment with the horizon will occur thus reconnecting the space that the rectangle of the billboard has interrupted. In the language of billboard advertising this kind of reading is referred to as a Burma-Shave.“

Can Insects talk and do they have brains ?
I always thought that these queer little things
Were made up entirely of legs, wings and stings.
