I appreciate fruit from collaborative efforts of Director Isaiah Seret, along with Trevor Jones, Arthur Jafa. I like Devendra Banhart, I like Joel Virgil. Both characters project a kind of magical mastery over their ideo. You see in their eyes what they want you to. Nothing more, nothing less.

Processed Circumstance – Amanda Faye Cain
In case you were unable to attend the opening reception, the Access Arts Belle Isle Exhibit runs until Saturday July, 31. You can retrieve a copy of the map at accessartsexhibit.blogspot.com/.
Also, we will have a special repeat performance by Amanda Faye Cain. She will begin her performance promptly at 6:30 PM on Friday, July 30. Her performance will take place on the Northwest side of the Riverbank Dr, just past Vista Dr. You will also pass the beach and the frame for the ice sculpture on your way there. River Bank Dr is the perimeter road on the Northwest side of the Island.
Her performance is entitled, “Processed Circumstance”. The few mediums used are electronic garbage (thanks to the help of many willing friends), and the natural environment. This particular performance touches on themes related to over-consumption and human communication.
In addition to her performance, you are welcome to join us for a picnic afterward. Feel generous and bring a dish to pass. Exhibition maps will be made available at her performance site.
Thank you to everyone who came out on Saturday! It was a pleasure to see all of your beautiful faces. I hope you will join us for our next exhibition, October 2, 2010. Look for us on the Art Detroit Now listing as the event nears.
Please check out Forward Arts: Young Detroiters for the Arts, and special thanks to the Hub of Detroit for lending us bikes. Go there for all your bike needs.

“Processed Circumstance”
Hollowed one, how could you bare witness
once
and then need
a second
to remind you
of our purpose?
I weave a thought from inside mine and into yours,
unnatural cocoon,
filled with our hopes and dreams and fears and failings
that we are not yet conscious of.
I search, as you search, for me,
and for yourself,
but where will you find
the answer
to the riddle that we collectively ask?
On garbage day, we restart once more.
On payday, we fill up our hands –
when it is one another that we need access to.
Eyes on the prize, the material, the physical.
Hands on it.
Hearts on it.
Off of the solution.

What’s Good for Lily Allen
What’s good for me, is good for you. I’ll now reaffirm this belief with the dispatching of Lily Allen’s “It’s Not Me, It’s You”.
“But Christos, this album came out in 2009 and it’s brit pop, and her first album was like reggae or ska or… and it’s not like you to…”
Let me interject with “fackouff”. You don’t know what I like.. hell you don’t even know what you like, so let me tell you. She’s a star (exhibit a.). She’s something I can appreciate, it’s frank, elegant, pleasant moldy. She has class, she’s pretty and youthful. As of June fourth I received a reply to a hand written letter that I had sent miss Allen earlier this year. I hope it was actually her. In time, i’ve grow to appreciate star’s stories, fantasies, legends… people who pluck your heart strings. In my lifetime we need more folk like this:

Taken Directly From Wikipedia:
Lily Rose Beatrice Allen (born 2 May 1985) is an English recording artist, talk show host, and actress. She is the daughter of actor and musician Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen. In her teenage years, her musical tastes evolved from glam rock to alternative. She ran away from home to attend the Glastonbury Festival at the age of fourteen. A year later, Allen abandoned school and concentrated on improving her performing and compositional skills. Afterwards, she created several demo songs, and near the end of 2005, she created a profile on MySpace, where she made some of her recordings public.
A contract was signed with the label Regal Recordings, as the views on MySpace rose to tens of thousands. In 2006, she began to work on completing what would be her first studio album and its first mainstream single “Smile” reached the top position on the UK Singles Chart in July 2006.[2] Her debut record, Alright, Still, was well received on the international market, selling over 2.6 million copies and brought Allen a nomination at the Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards and MTV Video Music Awards. She then began hosting her own talk-show, Lily Allen and Friends, on BBC Three.
Her second major album release, It’s Not Me, It’s You, saw a genre shift for her, having more of an electropop feel, rather than the ska and reggae influences of the first one. The album debuted at #1 on the UK Albums Chart and the Australian ARIA Charts and was appreciated by the critics, noting the singer’s musical evolution and maturity. It spawned the hit singles “The Fear” and “Fuck You”, popular mostly in Europe. Allen and Amy Winehouse have been credited with starting a process that led to the media-proclaimed “year of the women” in 2009 that has seen five female artists making music of “experimentalism and fearlessness” long nominated for the Mercury Prize.[3] In September 2009, Allen stated that she sees no way that she could ever make a profit making new records. Allen plans to take a break following her remaining 2010 concerts. She has discussed plans to write for other artists, launch a record label and open a fashion rental shop during this hiatus.

The vocal stylings of Camille made an impression. She doesn’t just play piano. Her vocals are occasionally hurried, but the anxious passion in that voice keep me transfixed. Got me posing maudlin mind over the halls I left in Belgium.
