What Is I-95

Directions to Front and Mifflin






There's about 30 photos new this year and about 40 that have weren't in it last year, but have reinserted themselves in the installation. It's complete.

Why can't I simmer? Because I am always anxious about the loss of the depth of blacks on the laminated prints. Do I need to be anxious about that? No. Am I anxious about that? Yes. Every fucking year I second guess my lamination methods even though I have tried many and have picked a kind of lamination that's best for ALL AROUND use and keeps the total cost of photo printing at approximately 6000 bucks.

Still can't simmer.

I-95

To Sir With Love
Songwriters: R. Granier; Marc London; Don Black



Those schoolgirl days, of telling tales and biting nails are gone,
But in my mind,
I know they will still live on and on,
But how do you thank someone, who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try,

If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in letters,
That would soar a thousand feet high,
To Sir, with Love

The time has come,
For closing books and long last looks must end,
And as I leave,
I know that I am leaving my best friend,
A friend who taught me right from wrong,
And weak from strong,
That's a lot to learn,
What, what can I give you in return?

If you wanted the moon I would try to make a start,
But I, would rather you let me give my heart,
To Sir, with Love

Spotlight on I-95 Workers... Christine Settino

"The Notorious Christine Settino"

Last time for standing and standing at a color copier. I think I've spent a full 3 and a half years standing at a copier.



And thanks to Meredith Jones and Emmy Venuto, friends from when I was copying and copying Merion Art and Repro. I would go there after work, on the way home. And thanks to Merion Art and Repro.

Last time for getting paint for the pillars. Plus, may I suggest Home Depot over Lowe's for getting your paint matched.

I have thought about just ending this blog right after the show on Sunday, but I don't think I'm quite ready for that. I think I still might be posting for a while, as I hash through what happens right after 95.

Thanks to Mike Macfeat for this excellent book suggestion.

Aside: The origin of the word boycott comes from "Capt. Charles C. Boycott."

"Captain Charles Cunningham Boycott was a British land agent whose ostracism by his local community in Ireland as part of a campaign for agrarian tenants' rights in 1880 gave the English language the verb to boycott, meaning 'to ostracise'."

THANKS!

Thanks to everyone who has participated and helped in I-95. A long thank you list is forthcoming after the show. I am filled with gratitude for the enormous amount of support I've receieved.

Sunday May 2:

8-9AM: LB and I begin putting up all the photos- we should be done by 11 dependent on weather.

10:30 AM: (to be determined) people bring the tables, photos, for sale, maps, etc down and start set up

11 AM: Volunteers for handing out maps, making sure people don't take the photos down, and general info show up and get a little briefing. Depending on weather, it looks like 30% chance of showers right now so it might be a little wet... sweeping up puddles, and making sure photos are adhering might be priority.

11:30AM- 12PM: Hopefully me and the wife can get home to shower and change

NOON- everything should be in place, with table set up although it doesn't start till 1.

1PM Show starts

2PM to 4:30PM: I sign at a table, whatever people bring me.

5PM everything goes back to the studio

8PM: South Philly Tap Room, ostensibly for signing but really for party time

Check out Richard Renaldi at University of the Arts aka PCA

Tastykakes, 10 Dollars, Potential BJ

A New Jersey man was arrested in Asbury Park Friday for offering an undercover police officer $10 and a box of Tastykakes in exchange for a sex act.

Printing For Under A Highway

Here's how the photos are prepared for I-95:

Archival ink-jet prints are printed at 838 Cantrell St. on an Epson 4800.

->

the prints are laminated at Taws with a 3mm matte laminate and an adhesive backing. The 3mm matte laminate is an all purpose, all-weather solution for presenting the photos. The way I'd like to present the photos is adhesive back, no lamination. That's not feasible because they wouldn't hold up in the rain for the duration of the show. And they would be too fragile to touch, and all the images should be able to be touched. So they have to be laminated.

Another option that I really like is "deep crystal lamination" which is anti-glare. I love the look of it, but it's too heavy for adhering to the pillar and has a tendency to peel up at the corners. Plus, it's super expensive.

So 3 mm lamination it is. The only downside of this kind of lamination is the glare factor, but I'm ok with that. Some images can be seen from a distance and are more difficult to see right up on them unless someone gets underneath them. But I'm ok with having people work to see the photos.

->

the prints are picked up from Taws and I trim them to the edge. Now they are sitting at the studio weighed down with stacks of books on them to keep them from curling.

Your Future Starts Here, Uniform City, New Tattoo Jorge, Most We Feared, Fist With Dollars, Sisters and Basketball Hoop all need to be printed as the originals for the last of the small copies and then done with the 5 dollar photos.

Hello.

Friends! Because many folks are coming from out of town, I would be greatly appreciative if people would share things to do, places to eat and places to stay.

Philadelphians! Please help out our out-of-town friends! Out-of-town friends! Please help each other out!

10 years of work, May 2, 2010. Final I-95.

In Memoriam by Lord Alfred Tennyson

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Ring out the grief that saps the mind
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.

Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.

Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless coldness of the times;
Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes
But ring the fuller minstrel in.

Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.

Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

Thank you Marianna, Ashley, Alison, Christine, Manny and Mom for all of your work today.

As I've been thinking about projects I'd like to work on, one is about Nogales... Nogales Sonora, Mexico/ Nogales Arizona, USA. I've been reading a lot about Nogales and know that I want to work on something there.

Alex Mechanick's Support of Doug Pike

Do you know about Doug Pike? OK, I don't really know about Doug Pike but I know Alex Mechanick would like you to vote for Doug Pike in this online poll. Who is Alex? I was Alex's babysitter for many, many years and will generally do what he asks because I love him so much. And he is a genius with political ambitions, so I'm a little surprised that he's not running for congress in the 6th.

Who is Doug Pike? Doug Pike is running for congress in the PA house district 6 primary. Click on the title and vote for him if you are a supporter.

Here's what Alex says about why this poll matters...
"The last thing this district is another Bob Roggio, unable to talk in depth on policy and unable to run a single TV ad against Gerlach. And that's exactly what Manan Trivedi is - a guaranteed Republican win in the fall." And no one wants that.

And here's a little extra something he wrote that was intended to push me over the line...
"P.S. I was very tempted to slip the line "now is the time for all good former babysitters to come to the aid of their party" but I resisted the temptation. Kinda."

Alex knows that I am an anarchist and am beholden to no party... but if he's referring to the "former babysitter" party, he knows that's a party I'll rush to aid.

Thanks to the Wexner for letting me do a whole big piece there. When I'm working on a pushpin installation, there's a moment when I see the connections that I want to make in the space and the Wexner installation has the three photos seen below in the center of the installation. I'm really grateful to have been able to do this project.

SURREAL AND BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING AND CRAZY AND SPECTACULAR. HELLO!

Greetings From Columbus Airport

About to come home and work straight through May 2, 2010.

I-95

Why am I awake? Because one of the biggest days of my life is coming up. And because beyond that, I have another biggest day of my life coming up. That would be my solo show at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2012. You read that correctly. January 2012, PMA solo show in the Berman and Stieglitz Galleries.

Wexner: Works for Columbus

Finished installing at the Wexner, falling asleep in my hotel room, but I find it to be imperative to tell everyone who's reading this how much I love the Wexner folks. Thanks to Mark, Dave, Christine, Katy, Jill, Bill and all who helped with the installation and getting me out here. Special thanks to Bill Horrigan... Bill is awesome.









-----

Aside, I have got to come back to the Wexner for the Arnold Classic. When this I-95 craziness is over, I'm working on a proposal.

Thanks to everyone who's coming to help this Saturday at 1. If you can, bring your own broom!


Also, we could use some help on Saturday May 1st at 1pm. And on the day of the show, too... for a final sweepup and help handing out maps and provide info for people. We’ll have a volunteer training meeting the day before the show, May 1, at 3pm at my studio, 838 Cantrell St. Please email Ms. Marianna Peragallo to volunteer or with any questions.... mariannaatpap@gmail.com

And we will love for folks to record the day of the show, and the clean ups, everything. You can upload all images to the flickr group here... I-95.10 flickr

Yearly edition prints going out this Friday.

I-95.10

You know what? I am filled with love and joy.

The 30s were obviously a great success if for my 40th birthday my lady got me a vacation and my family contributed to vacationing fun. Score!

Also, I am pretty much the luckiest person ever because I have the greatest wife in the history of all wives and the greatest family ever. Good night.

I'm done with editing, but I continue to compulsively go over my photos even though I have so much other stuff to do.
