Hello Yura,
I’m asking for permission to entitle my last completed painting STELLAR REVENGE in Russian.
The painting was completed 14 August 2022 and is the first artwork of mine to be featured within The Discovery of Piranesi’s Final Project. The idea to entitle the painting STELLAR REVENGE came to me last Saturday night after spending the day thinking about your planned exhibition.
As to my ‘project of opportunity for me to ‘artistically’ express my reaction to being part of “Stellar Revenge”’, I’d like to write a personal statement along the lines of “an alternative picture of the world to the generally accepted one,” particularly regarding my relationship(s) to Russia (as a present day American artist, no less). Whatever I write would first come under your approval, however. And, if it doesn’t merit inclusion within the exhibit itself, then I would at least like to have your permission to publish the statement, in both English and Russian, at my websites coinciding with the opening of STELLAR REVENGE this July.

Ja, Pittsker Prize laughed too and then he offered more money. I say, Veight, you vunt more of za rare wurkz. I show you The Size of the Horse's Balls. It iz iconoclastic! I'll tell ya, Pittsker sure knows his stuff when it comes to The Size of the Horse's Balls. He got all the inverted iconoclastic symbolism and even read between the lines. So I said, you are really liking The Size of the Horse's Balls, ja? He says ja, ja ja, ja ja ja ja ja. So then I hum a couple of sentences, you know, like Freud, works all the time, and then I say, you can have leetle discount. We close the deal. And then he told me he's gonna call abracadabra, faia, so I say, you know, to be really good in architecture you must always hold your own. Wow, he says, thanks Rita, I think the whole world wants to see me hold my own.

Duchamp and Jennewien--"Nudist Camp at the PMA"--this is about axiality, but also about inspiration, e.g., of ignudi and the placement of The Large Glass and Étant donnés. Beginning with Jennewien’s Western Civilization and the themes of sacred and profane (love) and polychromy; the sacred and profane issue makes me wonder if the sacred and profane issues of chronosomatics also get involved, although the dichotomy probably relates better to the divisional notion of religious versus secular art

Humanity begins the third millennium with two overriding operative modes of imagination: there is the intense assimilating imagination best exemplified by the minds of scientific researchers, and there is the metabolic imagination employed by the minds of many different people including capitalists, political leaders, artists, and even some architects. By the end of the third millennium, the two predominant operative modes of human imagination will be the electromagnetic imagination and the osmotic imagination. The point being that the impact of digital media on architecture, although formidable, is nonetheless relatively insignificant when viewed against the wider ranging notions of assimilating architectures, metabolic architectures, electromagnetic architectures, and osmotic architectures. The understanding of these architectures resides far above even the question of materiality versus immateriality.
