BIBLE BYRNEING
I am mildly hooked on David Byrne's Journal. He will not call it a blog.
Good for him. Some of us are stuck with it if we use the sites that tell us what we are.
The thing that got me today was his New Sins a combination art object and art happening.
It is pretty interesting. Click on the thumbnails to see some individual pages.
I love that he has managed to put them in hotel rooms along with the gideon bibles! And the multiple translations, important words in red and all. Jeeeeeeez! Well, exactly.
He explains how the New Sins came to be in Why I Had To Make This Book.
If you don't want to read it all, then go to the last lines and get the idea of the book's first success.
You can even buy one if you go to Amazon. They have three for sale at wildly variant prices. I skipped it since you can get most of the idea on line.
