Seeing Is Forgetting

Hey all,
Included in my readings on Robert Irwin for my paper is "Seeing Is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees: A Life of Contemporary Artist Robert Irwin" By Lawrence Weschler. If you know Irwin's work and have ever wanted to do some reading on him this is a great book.

If you have too much reading to do already and want to watch a video I have also found an informative lecture he had given at Rice University in 2000. He is quite a good teacher in his lecture; he simplifies the "big stuff" without dumbing it down for the audience. It’s a 77 minute long RealPlayer file and it’s not for the dialups and still may take a couple tries - Enjoy.
