During my NY 'experience'

a good friend once asked me

if I wanted to help him out at his new job as

head gallery assistant somewhere in Soho.

A job he had acquired through a newspaper ad.

James Kop was working at Castelli
on Broadway in Soho,

and needed help doing inventory.

Just before Leo Castelli's death,

I had the privilege of doing inventory & categorizing

much of the work in storage at several places starting with
the basement of the West Broadway gallery.

http://www.castelligallery.com/history/578broadway.html

An epic place I had heard and learned about

long before I ever even thought about migrating to the North East.

More like a museum than a gallery to anyone with any knowledge of art history.

There were about 5 or 6 of us,

one girl with us had the most extensive knowledge

of most all of the artists in the Castelli lexicon.

The West Broadway basement had hundreds of items stashed away,

along with Leo's collection of unsolicited art submissions
from people all over the world,

(which he never threw away)

— desperate lost souls yearning to connect themselves to art-stardom.

It was a mess,

a box of Leo's shoes,

stuff mixed with total unknown debris,

alongside some of the most world renowned art lying about.

Everything that belonged to the gallery

and made by it's artists had two letters scrawled on each box,

bag or whatever it was packaged in, and a number - never going over 200.

One example was RS - 26,

on the pallet of a piece of raw steel about 3 feet by 3 or 4 feet square

sitting under some other things.

Obvious to most of us as a Richard Serra,
an easy guess.

As we walked around deciding what should be trashed and kept,

the woman

(whose name escapes me)

knew almost everything the rest of us were be stumped on,

and there were loads of it.

Later that week we had met at the Brooklyn warehouse,

(South side just north of the Williamsburg Bridge,

before the neighborhood had turned into trendy Williamsburg as we know it now)

we entered the metal roofed garage.

Rat feces abounded in piles in and around each corner,
so many in fact that the alarm was set off so often
that it was finally permanently shut off.

The back receiving dock platform
about 4 feet high

had a Scarpita car

so old that the tires were solid,

a pencil shaped formula race car circa 1960's era

One wheel had caved into the plywood area next to a water leak.

Upon entering the place,

I recall seeing a long (maybe 25 foot) Rosenquist painting

with only a sheet of clear plastic draped over it so as to divert a drip directly overhead,

fortunately somebody had propped 4x4's on the bottom,

so it was fine.

There were crates full of dirt (conceptual art) and other various miscellanies,

some things we could never identify,

things we had no correct tools to open with.

We came upon a box with major water damage, old cardboard with what seemed to be a definitely ruined artifact, was containing a perfectly plastic wrapped white box.
It had the quality white finnish of a refrigerator,
white enamel smooth as a car,
with a square door in the middle.

When opened it had a pyramid back that fit into the box into another pyramid inset.

Each surface of the pyramid facet had a different material,
tinted mirror triangle,
solid print color taffeta,
some chinese silk embroidery .

None of us could guess but someone figure it to be Rauschenberg,

something I would never had imagined him doing,

a perfectly crafted unit looking like some machine had created.

Unfortunately I had to attend some other job

hence missing the return to that amazing experience.

Later when walking by that warehouse,
I told friends about that graffiti covered forgotten space,

sans alarm system,

housing some of the worlds most famous

(forgotten and maybe even priceless) art.

Soon after Castelli passed away

and there was talk of his 30 something wife inheriting it all.

i remember cashing an 80 dollar check
he signed,
thinking I should keep it,
but I was so broke at the time it was a total non-option.

guess they marketed it here first,

i was waiting for a 100 dollar version for xmas made in China

but oh well

on further reading,

the actual device is only $15,000 bucks,

thats only if you pre-ordered before you had to

—"Get in the (((newer))) waiting list and you will be first for the next produced units."

only $3000!!!

http://www.reactable.com/products/live/order/

i guess thats it for thinking it would be a great thing to flood the mkt with in terms of making it a public service regarding the teaching of Music.

I was extremely excited about this in the last few years but now see how they are just out for money.

kind of bassackwards since i usually push FB traffic this way instead of the other way around,
but mostly for those searching for me on the internet in general can get a glimpse of last years work.

Maybe this is when I 'married' my art career (in my own perpetual fantasy world/disorder),

all Madonnas were/are about 8" tall ceramics and glazed at the local craft store in Denton in that era. One old lady who ran it seemed to understand what it was all about. I was sitting with mostly women painting cute bunnies, animals and flower arrangements while I was transforming these Madonnas into weirdness. I specifically remember a Sorority girl there applying all the dot lettering onto something that Jeff Koons would die for (I was cutting the stomach out of one of the last Madonnas at the time).

I hope those people I payed these forward to still have them intact. Also hope you all didn't move/sleep on couches as much as I did.

Please contact me with pics if you have any not shown here, I lost track of so much of the past.

I have forgotten so much of what was accomplished in those (dark) days.

the floating head style may be the beginning of what should have been all along.

Why does this remind me of

The Flaming Lips?

Also—

I did not colorize this excellent photo except for the refacemenalization part.

Photo credits will be given when I find out who did this!

(unless they want it taken off/down from here,

—on another note, I would dig doing a collaboration if they wanted)
