p.s. Hey. ** jay, Hi. I only saw a couple of episodes of ‘Succession’, but it seemed pretty smart. I hope the photoshoot was as anthropologically interesting as you’d hoped. There should be pornography that rewards you with the real thing. Some tech wiz should get on that. ** Diesel Clementine, That’s one hell of a place you’re describing so beautifully there. It makes me want to film it but I wouldn’t know how. Wilhelm Reich: good question. Seance time? ** Jack Skelley, Jack: Yes, it is, most certainly, yes! Lily has some idea that involves me and Dirty Magazine, but I don’t remember what it is. But I think they said I need to be in LA to do it. You could — post — yes. Natch. Cracker Jack is a candy I could never, ever get into. But I can get into you. xo Dapper Den. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. I would have guessed that ‘Happy Together’ is your favorite of his. It’s a goody. ** Tosh Berman, There’s this porn company called Halfway House, and the set-up for their porns is always the same: young recovering drug addict straight guy in a, yes, ‘half-way house’ who fucked up and snuck a joint or a drank a beer or something and gets caught by the unseen, iPhone camera toting counsellor and is threatened with having to go to jail or something unless fulfils porn’s requirements with the counsellor, and reluctant porn ensues, and if the straight drug addict didn’t have his public and ass hair shaved off, it would almost seem believable. ** Uday, Hi. I aim to amuse, god knows. Ben/_Black in fact did a post about Saucy Seaside Postcards for here that I think he linked you to if you scroll down through the commentary. Someone read ‘From Here On’ on YouTube? Wild. I’m a little nervous, but I’ll look for that. May your tears fall like rain. ** Måns BT, Hi. Oh, good, kudos to Mr. Robinson. Okay, ‘Secrets of sweet sixteen’ sounds like a bit of a must-see. I will ask for your kind help if I do that post. I will definitely need some advice and tips, I’m sure. Thank you! I feel like there’s a real energy loss after ‘Happy Together’, and the films get too ‘beautiful’ and ‘stately’. I think the combo of Kar Wai and Christopher Doyle, the cinematographer, was somehow really key to those early films’ greatness. Doyle quit part through ‘In the Mood for Love’, and you can literally see which scenes were shot by him and which are attempts to fake his style. And he was only semi-involved in ‘2046’. I don’t know, that’s one of my theories about why Kar Wai’s work fell off when it did. I saw ‘Godzilla + Kong’ in 4DX, and it was super fun. If I try the new ‘Alien’, I’ll choose that option for sure. I hope gymnasiet started well today. You must have some pre-existing friends there, no? Or was/is it a sea of strangers? ** nat, Hi. That’s quite a nickname. It would be cool or the opposite if people actually used that full nickname whenever they greeted you or talked about you. Okay, well, then I must have not been paying attention to the Final Fantasy section of Switch. Good to know. Where should I start? ** Arno, Howdy! Haha, Bucquoy sounds like a curious fella. I’ll look him up. Is there a healthy poetry reading scene in Holland? I don’t remember there being much of one when I lived there, but that was in the 80s, other than university-related events. But Amsterdam used to have that big One World Poetry Festival. They flew me over there from NYC to read in the festival twice. It was cool and packed. Oh, gosh, I’m sorry to have facilitated your bad mood. Well, unless it has some kind of pay-off ultimately. I get you about needing that impetus/approval to keep going in a fired-up way. I’ve gotten to the point where I just figure someone will want to publish what I write, so I just kind of take encouragement from that general feeling. But I sure remember not having that. Anyway, I hope you find or imagine an effective gunshot. ‘Babyfucker’ in Dutch would be cool. Wow. I think maybe ‘Le Grand Cahier’ is the French title of the novel trilogy that in English is called ‘The Book of Lies’? If so, it’s one of my easily four or five most favorite novels of all time. It’s fucking incredible. I recommend it to people constantly. So, cool. Well, today is just balloons for you, but it starts getting a little meatier tomorrow. ** Billy, Hi. Seriously? Like I think I said, I don’t think they crossed the ocean, or I was just way into oppositional things at the time or something. So sorry about the six job losses. Wow, what’s wrong with these employers? AA has helped a bunch of people I know, so I’m down with it. Yep, I’m in Paris for the duration, I guess. I liked the Olympics. The Olympics to me was just lots and lots of people from other places walking around in my neighborhood looking and acting excited to be here. It was refreshing. ‘Les reacs’ here were triggered, but, really, it was ‘les reacs’ in other parts of the world that were acting out and making lots of noise. Delon was much better when he was asked to look dour and mysterious. ** _Black_Acrylic, Thank you! It got a lot of interesting blab going on. PT is alive! Beeline. Everyone, _Black_Acrylic, who know most recently as the host of this past weekend’s ‘Saucy!’ affair, is, as many of you know, additionally the host of a podcast of pleasures incarnate called ‘Play Therapy’, and the new episode is ours. Appropriate tagline: ‘ Ben ‘Jack Your Body’ Robinson says we come in peace, we leave you in pieces.’ Listen here. ** Joe, Hi, Joe! Lovely to see you, maestro! ** Lucas, Hey! You made it! Colorado, right, that’s a sweet coaster. Wait, it made you nauseous, so I’m docking it a few points. It’s probably a really good thing that you didn’t test out Taron. I hope the appointment goes okay today. Seems like it will? Wednesday! Wow, any special plans for your last two days of freedom? I’m okay. I started doing a little attempted repair work on the film thing because Zac still isn’t back and I’m antsy. Patience with your writing. Writing is very moody. But it always comes through. Terrific collage! Gosh, it’s beautiful!!! Everyone, Huge recommendation that you go look at a new collage by the masterful Lucas, meaning click this. ** Steve, I remember Benny Hill being on US TV. I think everyone used to get really stoned to watch it. It was kind of the ‘Teletubbies’ of its era. I do know people like that, yes. In fact, one of my brothers is that person to the T. Been meaning to try Hamish Hawk. Okay, will do. Thanks. ** Bill, Hi. I ate Bourguignon de Seitan (insanely good) with a kind of potato loaf side dish plus a bowl of amazing gazpacho and excellent guacamole. ** Thomas Moronic, Hi, T. Well, of course I remember, my brain is like a, what, sieve, is that what they say? I’m pretty free to Zoom this week. When’s good? You have my email and phone/text, yes? Would be great! ** Justin D, Ah, oh well, noise has its virtues, goodness knows. I do like the length of ‘Saint Sebastian’s Abyss’, so I will look into that. Thanks, bud. Yes, RIP Delon. Sublime in films, or could be, but, at least when you live in France, his well known politics were extremely not sublime, so he’s a tricky figure. He supported the Far Right, was close friends with Jean-Marie Le Pen, was anti-immigration, thought France should be an all-white country, etc. Not good. My weekend was okay. I found out that this very interesting, buzzy young French graphic novelist wants to turn ‘God Jr.’ into a graphic novel, and I’m excited about that and hope it happens. That was the highlight, I think. ** Harper, Hi. Wow, your school sounds, dare I say, a little fascist? Those masks and props sound very cool. Do you still have them or photos at least? My school didn’t have art classes, which is maybe why they tolerated my bursting out in art. It’s strange, but, historically, my favorite teachers in school from high school through university were always history teachers, I don’t know why. ** Dev, Hey, D. Oh, okay. Gotcha. The old fashioned way sounds much more potentially effective if much more haunting. Here’s the menu of the vegan restaurant. Flashcards … your school really is old-school, no? Luck galore. ** Nicholas., Mm, okay, I’ll put your mixtape in my ears and try to figure out what it’s about. Everyone, Do you want to hear a mixtape made by maestro Nicolas.? I think you might very well want to. If I’m right, listen up here. Me, up? Just trying to start figuring out how to free Zac’s and my film from its current hell. Weather’s nice. Gonna do something special with that. Could be a good week, we’ll see. Yours too, one would hope. ** Right. Nobody doesn’t like balloons, right? I sure hope so because that’s your local day. See you tomorrow.
Hey Dennis! Yeah, I know what you mean about porn. That VR POV stuff has got to be really close, right? In a few years, I’m sure we’re going to get the rest of the senses down, other than sight and sound I mean.
Yeah, it was anthropologically fascinating, actually! It was mostly nice to just see my friend haha, she kind of used to be the Calhoun to my Ziggy. But yeah, I asked a few questions over the dinner we had afterwards, and they were all really eloquent at describing the community / central sexual features of the fetish. Plus I tried on some of their gear, it was honestly sort of a great exchange. They’re all wearing like, head to toe latex as well, so there’s no possibility of penetration. That’s kind of alien to me, like it’s such a utopian concept of sex to me. Anyway yeah, fascinating!
Also, just like, if you’re at all curious in any way (zero pressure), I sort of, I don’t know, did a tiny bit of writing? You’re under literally no obligation to read anything, I just sort of mention your work a little, so it’d be a bit shitty of me not to mention! Anyway, anyone feel free to take a look, I haven’t really written for ages so it’s mostly just me getting my thoughts out.

Back in the 90s I went to see a Martin Creed retrospective at Leeds art Gallery. This work Half the Air in a Given Space filled the room with balloons and it inspired me to take up Conceptual Art as a way forward. So things could be fun and playful.

Den Dude– good plastic balloons ! OK a juicy launch post with plastic pics & Karina’s insane videos. But heading for vacay today and relief fr my oppressive hype. Brining lots of books!! Back to reading & writing. hey, the Wake Island pod was a goodie about the inner-ness of haunts. By the time Room Temp pops the world will be ready!! I don’t really like Cracker Jack either. Or popcorn in general. Except the sugary kind at Trader Joe’.s xoxo It’s-Just-Chinatown-Jack
There’s also Chris Burden’s Ode to Santos Dumont for lighter than air art. I believe this was his last work presented before he died in 2015. https://www.lacma.org/art/exhibition/chris-burden-ode-santos-dumont I just finished Fluncker… sooo goood! I loved the bookending of Face Eraser and Start. Gold was also a highlight for me – very Dostoevsky! xoxo
At the moment, Hawk’s “Men Like Wire” is my favorite single of the year. The full album hasn’t completely kicked in, but he’s got bars: “I’ve seen their question marks/Let’s see their full stops/For all my life they’ve played me for jokes.”
Can I E-mail you privately about the situation I mentioned yesterday? I’m trying to figure out how I can possibly resolve it positively, and I’d like to talk to someone with experience as a freelance writer.
Tomorrow evening, I’ll be recording the podcast about ZERO DAY and Gus van Sant’s ELEPHANT. (I watched it yesterday and liked it much less than I did when it came out.) I’m really looking forward to it.
During the last season of SUCCESSION, its fashions intrigued me. I followed an Instagram page detailing the clothes in each episode, what designer they came from and how much they cost. In one scene, Matthew Macfadyen was wearing $7,000 worth of clothes, but in the closing episode, another character is wearing a $15 shirt from Walmart.
I agree about Wong Kar-wai, although I’m fond of IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, but Harvey Weinstein hacked up THE GRANDMASTER for US release, so I don’t feel like I’ve seen the real film. Wong used to be able to work very quickly and spontaneously. What happened? It’s strange how some of the greatest directors of the ’90s, like him and Atom Egoyan, quickly fell off.
What happened was China overtook Honh Kong thereby obliterating Wong’s film career
PS: Ka dropped a new album today, THE THIEF NEXT TO JESUS, with no advance announcement. It’s not streaming anywhere or on Bandcamp, just available as a $20 download from his website: brownsvilleka.com . (He used to do pop-ups in New York on release day; I bought one of his CDs directly from him.)
Heya I’m on the public transit my way to classes for first day of fall semester and a bit anxious I woke up late unfortunately and you know the routine
But I’m on the bus and I’ve still got a bit of a way and I’ve got…5 minutes to get there. I
I know I’ll be late but I hope I’ll be in.
I am also very anxious because I left my sweater at home and I’m sure you know by now about my visibly harmed body
So im just going unclad and unprotected no arm bands, jewelry l,warmers, was expecting the sweater to do that. I’m sure it will be fine, but I also have my dark blue hair atm and I will probably be perceived as attention seeking as a doctor once put it
It’s ok I’m good at making friends (when I put the effort into it
I’ll be back later
honestly, in my experience nobody really picks up on that kind of thing, scarring i mean. you maybe get 5 seconds of staring, but after that it just becomes a feature like a big nose or a unibrow, like most people.
hii. the meeting went well: those teachers and the school’s administration in general seem really nice and supportive, so I’m lucky. I’m nervous about meeting new people but I’m kind of excited for wednesday,strangely (my stockholm syndrome may be already setting in) (what actually sucks is that I’ll have class until pretty late in the afternoon some days—I’m used to going home every day at 13:00—plus this school is really far away from me). no, I don’t have anything special planned for these days, in fact, the opposite: I first have a bunch of tedious stuff to do, but it’ll be okay. tomorrow’s my birthday—I’m turning 16—which I’m still on the fence about. I don’t know whether to think okay, whatever, or to find it significant or something. I’ve never been huge on birthdays, mostly because I’ve never had good friends, I guess, so I’m leaning towards ‘whatever.’ although I think I do have some reason to celebrate because I’ve accomplished a lot more than I realistically would have expected myself to do in the last year. I’ll just be going to the city, but I’ll think of something more exciting to do on the weekend. is the attempted repair work on the film thing looking like it’s working? I hope zac comes back soon and helps you out. yeah, I’m trying to be patient with the writing thing. I think I’m in another one of those little phases where I’m mentally trying to figure out its texture and what I’m interested in discovering. I also just need to remember that I haven’t been doing this, like in a serious, purposeful way, for very long at all, and it may take a while until I consistently get results I’m satisfied with.
Hi Dennis! I just wanted to drop in to say hi. How are you? xx, e.
Thanks _Black_Acrylic for the post! It was a decent reading of the story, if a little odd to not hear in your accent. Balloons! I’m very partial to this https://denniscooperblog.com/balloons/#:~:text=Hester%20Oerlemans%20Chairs%2C%202010balloons%2C%20adhesive
so it’s nice to see a return. I think balloons or bubbles could provide a very nice obsessive focal point for a gif novel, if you’re still interested in those. Very excited for the potential God Jr. graphic novel. Even if I have to read it with a dictionary or learn a little French for it. I vaguely remember somebody somewhere saying that it’s a departure for you and although I suppose on the face of it it is I thought that was a very lazy characterisation when a lot of your material was still in there. People see the “Sadeian” stuff and leave it there I think. It’s very annoying.
Today I was hit on by the guy who sold me corn; feeling rather like some animal at the peak of their fertility cycle with the amount of sudden attention I’ve been getting lately. Any tips on seeming more off-putting? Hope your day goes by without significant interruption by stodgy historical fiction.
Thinking about film and memory. I met my life partner in film school but both of us have been disillusioned with the industry. Thinking about this advert:
[Transcript:] “Look at me – do you like what you see? Good ! Because it’s not me – it’s a recording of me – on new Memorex video tape – this remarkable tape is recorded and re-recorded 100 times but I bet you still couldn’t tell if it’s Memorex or me – which really isn’t me – its Memorex ! – new Memorex video tape – even after 100 recordings you’ll wonder ‘is it live ? – or is it Memorex?'”
(( https://youtu.be/EZyFcJcZiaU?feature=shared ))
Thinking about Period. About memory and the pop science cliche of the brain telling-retelling-retelling a memory – how it’s less the memory than it is the memory of remembering the memory. How far into an infinity mirror does your face turn green ? Are we sick from being repeated so many times ? Have you managed to read the transcript I sent you by any chance ? That’s not to be taken as pushy just that I think I work through those thoughts better than I am doing here.
Dominoes? Kuleshov effect. Does film as a medium burn images on top one another in a way that prose doesn’t ? I think Period does to an extent maybe – it certainly cuts together – cut – cut – cut – lovers as kuleshov’s pairs – when I blink between moving my head between the faces of my boyfriends as we fuck, what is edited together ? What is the new meaning? Soviet montage theory. What if I close my eyes between one trick to another – stumbling pavement between – image – cut – image. The comic writer Alan Moore talked about staying in Northampton to experience life within time rather than within space. Someone said art decorates space whilst music decorates time. Someone said something else. Someone kissed me. Someone left scratches. Someone asks if a bruise is a love bite and the moment is cut with trying to remember if it was. Was that in the story I told myself walking home – or was it lost in the moment – am I telling myself a story based on observation instead – is something invented on evidence and accepted in memory – is it a bruise – is it real – is it live – is it Memorex ? When I remember my dad do I work backwards from who I am now ? Is he real ? Is he Memorex ? Is he just the feeling I had last night when a car slowed down and called me a poof. Did a U-turn. Drove into an alley between me and my boyfriend’s flat. Is he the feeling I had running to the front door and pressing the buzzer – just backwards ? Is it real – live – Memorex ?
Which is to say, if I’m formatting this as a question – how do you think memory is treated in your books versus your films ? Is memory different in prose than in cinema?
Cut to:
[Hiroshi Sugimoto’s long exposure photographs of cinema screens – entire duration of a film – a window of pure white light]
hoi denden!
really feeling at peace with Orbiter, that might be just how much i like the crushed early digital look.
a newcomer calls me intense, but most just call me nat. one of those situations where even with a new name and picture, you can still tell who each are becuse you’ve known them for so long that their tics become second nature.
if i understand your vibe well enough, final fantasy 4 might be a good shout? this is like asking me to which third arm to get. 1-6 are the old school pixel games, 1-3 is the nes era and have a more vague obtuse story to them that might be up your alley more than 4 but can require a guide or two to play unless you got a knack for it. 4-6 is the snes era and thats when they got into the whole package ff games are known for, for better or for worse depending on who you are talking about. so 4 is a good median between the two eras.
wkw discussion made me rewatch viva erotica starring happy together’s leslie cheung… god i miss leslie. it is a fun look into the 90s hong kong cinema production, akin to 8 1/2 – day for night – questionably boogie nights. have you ever seen it? i should look for the answer instead of asking, but you know, it feels better to ask sometimes.
i think that should be all, unless i wake up early today with a epihany.
Hey. I finished ‘Against the Day’. It’s definitely one of my favourite Pynchon’s. I think it contains some of his most complex themes despite the prose being easier to grasp than his earlier works. The scientific theory seems more mature than ‘Gravity’s Rainbow’ in a way. It’s probably even more scientific than GR, even if a lot of the theory in ATD is made up. I’d place ATD in my top three Pynchon’s, maybe even at number two. Either that or ‘Mason and Dixon’ which I hold in the same regard and both are super inventive. But GR is probably one of my three favourite books period and I think it did change my life so I didn’t expect to find a new favourite Pynchon anyway. I feel like that’s one of those books where the writer stumbles on such a genius set of constraints and conceits that there are infinite possibilities contained within.
Yeah my school was totally conservative but it had an artsy free thinking veneer that went out of the window as soon as you entered the classroom. I do have photos of the Rimbaud project, I’ll show tomorrow. I still have Verlaine and Arthur masks in my room and have photos of the old stuff. I don’t know where some of it went, probably still at the school unless they threw it away. I made a mask of Satan as well and also have a mask of Rimbaud in an army cap. I made a load of fake flowers and opium pipes and bullets as well.
Howdy! Wishing you freedom and release from movie hell actually & whats been a good part of the post movie process? Have you gotten to design any posters yet? Spent all of the day working on my brand new artist site which is now way less graphically explicit and instead a bit more streamlined and direct and fragmented of course. I was absolutely lying when I said MuseMenaceTV was the project it was the prototype.

What else oh what foods make you nauseous I can legitimately get nauseous at the drop of a hat if I don’t pay attention one to many sweets and I have to lay down for hours and try not to gag its a hassle. I hope my mix inspired the atoms around you to work with you for a time tell me if they did even a little and ill brb so ttyl xoxo.
Hey, Dennis! Great curation. Love that Tadao Cern piece. Such beautiful staging and photography. I’ll admit I didn’t know of Alain’s problematic political ideology. I’ve always tried to separate the art from the artist, but some people make it pretty tricky. That’s so exciting: the graphic novel. That must be the highest form of flattery; art inspiring art. Hope you had a lovely Monday.
Love the skywhalepapa, and the air bears. They look a little familiar; maybe they’ve been in other galleries here? Always worth a look or three.
That’s an intriguing menu from the vegan restaurant. Dennis, did anyone in your party get the cassoulet? Very curious.
By the way, do you like Dean Roberts? I just found out he died a couple weeks ago. Just came across this nice old abstract chamber pop date:
https://autisticdaughters.bandcamp.com/album/jealousy-and-diamond
The band is Roberts and two Austrian musicians who work a lot in new music/free improv, including Martin Brandlmayr (Radian, Trapist etc)
Hope the God Jr graphic novel works out!

Helloooooooo! I’m currently slamming my way through the Duolingo beginner’s Dutch module in the hopes that it’ll teach me ‘table for two, please?’ before I go to Amsterdam in ten days, but no signs of tables or of pleases so far — damn. It did teach me ‘hij is de man’, though, which I think under some really specific circumstances could sound a little bit like ‘hi, Dennis!’
Balloons! I really dig the Eugene Guseinikov one — but I think I’m just really easily swayed by things that are green. Big day for the arts-inclined looners of the world, if that combo includes anyone at all.
I’m going to see ‘Longlegs’ tonight! Have you seen any of the trailers or anything? I’ve been super stoked since it was announced. And did you ever end up watching (legally or illegally) ‘I Saw the TV Glow’? I remember there being a lot of chat about that when I first ventured onto the blog. Happy Tuesday!
