PHOTOGRAPHY: Thoughts on Romance from the Road, Victoria Crayhon. This work is an ongoing project that uses photography to document text interventions on roadside marquee signs. I place phrases on movie and motel marquee signs, many of which I find through research but also in the course of my frequent long distance travel by car. I use my own sign letters and then leave the scene with the words left intact upon the sign. Before I depart, I make a photograph from the sidewalk or roadside. I then make large-scale color prints as documents of the sign in its environment. The photograph becomes the sole remnant of the project as the letters inevitably disappear or are taken down. The work addresses the effect of media and technology upon human memory and desire. Images and text via Victoria Crayhon

ART: BOSCO SODI Untitled, mixed media, 1003 x 1003mm. Part of a group of four works currently up for auction at Sotheby’s. Hope you don’t mind but I like the back maybe as much as the front.

SEEN: Two shots of the entrance to Dennis Hopper’s compound, Venice, Los Angeles. This is the only home-of-a-star that I’ve ever tracked down - unless you count Marilyn’s final resting place. Death holds as much of a fascinatination as life in a city such as Los Angeles, and with Dennis having already “left the building” I was there for the architectural statement, along with a faint hope he might somehow magically appear.

SEEN: Went to visit my good friend today who shall remain Alonymous. Actually, he wasn’t there, so I spent some time admiring his photos and taking a few of my own. Need to buy someone a gift? Or just want to add new colour to your own life? You won’t find a better bargain. Totally worth going out of your way to visit. You may, or may not, see my friend. Photos: Martin D Page

STYLE: Karl Lagerfeld, Designer, at his atelier in Paris. I love this photo… it’s all about the books. And, of course, he’s quite a stylist. Source: The Selby

PHOTOGRAPHY: Jonas Mekas Holy Fools. “This especially commissioned Portfolio comprises nine images, each depicting friends of the artist performing for each other or the camera. Derived from the original 16mm film stock, this Portfolio captures Mekas's constant and playful chronicling of the world around him over the course of his career. Artists, musicians and dancers (including Miles Davis, John Lennon and Andy Warhol) are captured in unguarded and personal moments.” Source: Serpentine Galleries

FILM: Jonas Mekas, Walden, 1969 (excerpt). Watch out for the sound, which can be a little hoarse.
