“unable to recall what it was not to be falling”

Kill The Ego

March.22.2009

An narrative of noises by the painter Rostarr that translates the energy of NYC onto canvas. The film directed by Jimmy Helton and Ron Patane tracks Rostarr over a 24 period of painting, erasing and repainting. The clip shown here, commissioned by Soundwalk and first shown at the Fountain Gallery gives some sense of the grandeur of the piece. Like New York itself, it’s a constant process of building, demolishing and rebuilding. With the remnants of things past serving to remind us of the transience of things present.

The September 11th Memorial and Museum design, now under construction, is in fact two voids/ two waterfalls (emphasis on the falling). Visitors will be able to walk in the space below the falls: an unfinished concrete, basement like room, with low lighting and no protection from the splashing force of the falling water. More one this later…

Imagining Ground Zero

I recently read a book of offical and unoffical proposals for the re-builing of Ground Zero. Something I found interesting: Many proposed rebuilding the towers as they originally stood, only shorter. One team proposed two towers identical to the original, except for a missing column down the center of each (images needed).

Two images I cropped together. On the right, an Andy Warhol piece (currently searching for a name and date). On the left an AP picture taken on Sept. 11th of a man jumping from the second tower, generally referred to as “the Falling Man.”

Gordon Matta-Clark, from the Anarchitecture show 1974 Matta-Clark envisioned the “perfect structure” as in fact an erasure of buildings, particularly the twin towers, from the horizon. Although he could have never forecasted the events of September 11th, it is perhaps curious that in the destruction of the twin towers the void/ useless space between the towers, which Matta-Clark’s Anarchitecture photograph highlights, became a very/overly active and “useful” space. Lee, Pamela M. Object to be Destroyed. Cambridge: MIT Press, 2000: page 109.
