		<title>Commentary on 2010 River City Biennale by blog author Nathan Filbert</title>
		<description><![CDATA[            To be honest, I am a person who is weary.  For all sorts of reasons.
            I am tired, (exhausted really) of this continual effort of living, of hoping someone will say “I love you,” or “Hey – you are beautiful!” or simply “Hello: you matter.”
            What are we?  We pretend and pretend and pretend.  [...]]]></description>

on the convenience and frustration of objects –
on the nostalgia and wonder of objects –
on the history and dual nature of objects –

Homo Faber. The making being. Who constructs, creates, assembles, installs, operates, utilizes, labors.
Homo Ludens. The playing being. Who delights, tinkers, discovers, uncovers, imagines, enjoys.
Homo Sapien. The knowing being. Who is wise, who thinks, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DERRICK STANLEY – ROBOT MIND
The tension between form and content is an old one. The parameters of finitude have tormented creative humans since the inception of making and being. Whether the tool is one’s hands, one’s thoughts, one’s language, one’s knowledge, bodied motion or breath; and the technic a brush, a concept or theory, a [...]]]></description>

You put the album “Memoryhouse” or “Songs from Before” by Max Richter on your stereo.  Lie back in your favorite armchair like a bed.  Perhaps it is night, quiet, perhaps there is rain.  Close your eyes.
Suddenly you are seven, nine, or twelve years old again.  Headphones strung [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Growth Systems”
Imagine a wash made from masonite.
Diamonds shattered into glitter.
The petals of flowers melted down as glue, as brightness, as window.
Imagine the system of the world as plastic tubing
            lit by our tears and our dreams
If you could be an organism.
This is our “collective actuality”:  temporal, ephemeral, vision.
The world is scattered all about us, within [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MONIKA MELER – PUSTKI
 
Monika Meler is from Poland. 
Monika Meler is a printmaker.
She is a woman.  An artist.  A wife.
A daughter.  A teacher.  A friend.
Pustki, in Polish, means something like a mixture of “void,” “absence,” and “lack” in English.
After her father died, Monika called to inquire after her mother’s well-being.  “It’s pustki everywhere,” she said.

		<description><![CDATA[If I need it, I’ll make it.  If I can’t afford it, I’ll find it, salvage it, discover another way.  I need to be able to carry it on my back, or in a trailer, or…this van I’ve got!  It’s got to move, happen, be a process, dismantle/reassemble, flex on the way.
I’m here.  There’s this [...]]]></description>

Picture an amaryllis. Large burning red bloom atop a long elegant and juicily green stem, motionlessly erect in a room, rooted in rich dark soil. Every portion of this being is alive. Its cells are ceaseless action, nutrients course through its veins, it turns toward light. It stands and holds its mighty head open, outward, [...]]]></description>
