I'll be installing a new <i>Believe You Me</i> floor at Artspace in New Haven this week. <i>Library Science</i> opens Saturday. Bonus - I get to photograph for a few hours in the attic of The Institute Library next door for a new body of work. If you get to New Haven, be sure to stop both places!</div>Mickey Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08802709232742544244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035336373477265068.post-5022841851307760182011-10-31T08:26:00.000-07:002011-10-31T08:26:31.017-07:00Believe John Waters<div style="text-align: left;">

New projects coming up, along with some new work on the Volume project. Recently I took a last minute flight to Munich and spent five thrilling days in the Franz Mayer studio. (A photo album is up on facebook.) The public art project I'm working on is a Collocation called NATURE. Sixteen 40 x 60 inch glass panels to be mounted in the new Biomedical Sciences Building at the University of Florida this June.

The brain is an infinite library of associations, a cacophony of competing ideas, and yet, as soon as the right association appears, we know. The new thought, represented by that rush of gamma rays in the right hemisphere, immediately grabs our attention. There is something paradoxical and bizarre about this. On one hand, an epiphany is a surprising event; we are startled by what we've just discovered. Some part of our brain, however, clearly isn't surprised at all , which is why we are able to instantly recognize the insight. 'As soon as the insight happens, it just seems so obvious,' Schooler said. 'People can't believe they didn't see it before.'
