I'm there with you...either they are way too esoteric for me or he/she is just yanking my chain.

can you explain what quondam is, rita, so maybe some of us can be in on the game?

i like quondam.. for me it is like a chance museum on the net. i click whatever and it always goes to somewhere, sometimes parallel to a story, art, gossip, personal experience, plans, critisism, project drawings etc.. it covers a lot of seminal works by such architects and artists. i don't like the arrayed images that much.
you can bypass the esoteric ones if you like but they worth it if you can get into it once in a while.
something that like quondam has tons of stuff in it and not every click might be interesting to the reader.
i am glad somebody is doing it. it is an art piece..

I thought Rita was a "he" (St. La.) not a "she" who, in the old archinect, had a weird thread going on about "artistic" graphics with horrendous colours ... Per has not invented the wheel..
i just get only 50% of what he (and his Quondam vignettes) are all about... but the ones I've understood I've been very pleased to read -- there's some interesting stuff in his site...

i'm in with Medit.
and rita novel's comments are generally witty.
presence is appreciated, if not needed to add a bit of history to the forum.

Rita, don't you mean the quondam Gordon Matta-Clark?
His removements have been removed.

abracadabra, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by 'arrayed' images. can you give an example?
the ugly colors:
7902q
7902r
7902u
Gordon is busy (in the Pillsbury complex at Minneapolis) preparing for "Learning From Lacunae".
Otto and I got our haircuts this morning.
abracadabra, is that Yale Center for British Art pic a teeny clue as to what you do like?

At the Yale Center for British Art (a building by Louis I. Kahn and very nice all by itself) in the large window of the top floor gallery facing closest to the New Haven Commons in the general lower right corner of the large window glass are the scant remains of what looks to be a mosquito embedded in the glass. I call it Teeny.
Definitely among of the stuff that changed my life.
