one month passes...

they are on an island:

http://www.gelitin.net/boredom_island/insel_big.jpg

25/6 - 24/7 2009

a month will pass till a boat will pick up gelatin again

during the month from june to july 2009
they will be discarded on a tiny bare rock island
hidden beneath the many of Stockholms Skärgård islands

the island sticks out of the water like a butt,
showing no trees, little hair and bears
nothing but its bare back and crack boldly

it is an island small enough to be inhaled in one breathe
but to far out to swimm in the cold waters to greet the neighbour

bare of mobilphones, internets, electricity, fotomachines and ice creams
toilets and brandy, boats, rescue plans and eye-candy

gelatin will be a figurine of boredom on this plinth

nothing will remain, nothing will happen
all will happen, and that will be all.

(gelitin is comprised of four artists.
they met first in 1978, when they all attended a summercamp.
they have been playing and working together.
from 1993 they began exhibiting internationally.)

estela, Monday, 8 October 2012 01:40 (eleven years ago) link

i have never heard of pickleball, i should probably google to find out if it's a game or a condiment.

estela, Monday, 8 October 2012 01:41 (eleven years ago) link

it sounds like something from a colour faded 1960s recipe photo.

lxy, Monday, 8 October 2012 04:01 (eleven years ago) link

and where?

lxy, Monday, 8 October 2012 04:02 (eleven years ago) link

That's a very serene and handsome creature

It was at a county fair in Georgia. There was this misleading sign:

The only reason I paid $1 to see it was because of a smaller sign that said ¡Viva la Capybara!. I was like "HELL YEAH, A CAPYBARA!".

When I was at Disney World's Animal Kingdom earlier this year, my little sister and I were looking all over for a Capy but we couldn't find any.

After doing a little research yesterday I found out that some Capybaras run wild in Florida and Louisiana and you'll even find a small amount of people who keep them as pets in Texas. Of course this was all news to me. I don't think there are many wild Capys in USA.

Capybaras weigh up to 140 lbs but I think the one in the picture looks more like 100 lbs. The top recorded weight is 232 lbs. They are the largest rodents next to the beaver and then the porcupine. ILX has a <3 thread for them.

The sea, oh the sea is the gradh geal mo croide
Long may it stay between England and me
It's a sure guarantee that some hour we'll be free
Oh, thank God we're surrounded by water.

spite n ease (harbl), Sunday, 16 June 2013 01:44 (ten years ago) link

i live on an island! it is not as nice as that one tho -- its colors seem half saturated in comparison

I need an island

jaq, Tuesday, 18 June 2013 17:07 (ten years ago) link

unnnnnnnnngh

spite n ease (harbl), Tuesday, 18 June 2013 19:20 (ten years ago) link

i am thinking about harbl, about all the things i would cook for her if she were here, and about what we would all cook together if we were all here, and about how there’s no need for a debate about islands, we’ll just have two different box parties in two different places at two different times, and won’t that be a dream?

lxy, Friday, 18 February 2022 18:51 (two years ago) link

a dream is a wish your heart makes
