The 7-8pm range on Friday can be strangely quiet, it's that no-man's-land between aggressive bursts of newly released office workers and the late night, in it to win it TGIFers. So...it was kind of quiet as I trekked down the last stretch of my just enough to get the heart rate up constitutional. A trickle of music and a voice trailed out of a local bar, the voice was decidedly untrained (karaoke). A few bars and a warble and there you are, <span style="font-style:italic;">Stairway to Heaven</span>. I could not help but feel sad and heartened by this meandering karaoke rendition. With a very weak voice, he got the led out all the same. I'm sure there were cheers, when that inevitably endless performace concluded.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi14z_M1i-FG39nthznWW1WqL3o3jXaNpFea5LYYtPQ1ptyKKwkgZ6i_RBLlNoZUUZj_j7jLy8shq8GfGMr_F-tT1wkVltSLk2cxUSvDL3ZHKg1JOD4oFz9gqBnK-evMAS5snZWuw_mKaA/s1600/StairwayToHeaven-D-4d.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi14z_M1i-FG39nthznWW1WqL3o3jXaNpFea5LYYtPQ1ptyKKwkgZ6i_RBLlNoZUUZj_j7jLy8shq8GfGMr_F-tT1wkVltSLk2cxUSvDL3ZHKg1JOD4oFz9gqBnK-evMAS5snZWuw_mKaA/s320/StairwayToHeaven-D-4d.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5728678357637656978" /></a>j.cliggleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09623195203340327033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5697316232814992960.post-29785090825427293982012-04-05T20:55:00.011-07:002012-04-07T08:19:46.371-07:00Why would anyone want to see stills from Teen Witch??This project was born of a meditation on the culture we leave behind. While the main focus of Future Excavations lies with tangible it must be recognized that there are entire circles of cultural trade that exist predominantly in the virtual realm, at various trade-posts on the "Information Superhighway"...if the proverbial "they" even call it that anymore. Each photo was found on this here internet; they are mostly humorous and nostalgic (except for the cat in the hoodie, that's just cute). They have roots in my upbringing, as they do many an American child brought up in the 80's.<br /><br />All this is meant to say I'm working it out, the content and quality of the messages this online incarnation holds for you, the inquisitive seekers of answers and rainbows and things. It is not lost on me that you have most likely found your way here by way of messages placed carefully about the city; it is my intention to reward you for your efforts (as well as your keen perception) as so few are willing to expend excess energies these days.<br /><br />Stick with me folks.<br /><br /><br />---jc---<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguuPirzW7hHkH0FdbfUViUI6zspD3hh181DBW-KwNEfJxwsBEo7xBujgIU1GFqYBd2WEhwDCZ2JYhqQcFosWmt6wqmUUdSqg3xh6eNib4FfpjmA0CywitXBtXt6h1s2UIQlrEUXkqlbvY/s1600/442px-Pale_Blue_Dot.png"><img style="display:block;

As I've become more aware of the objects in my life, more often discarded than regarded, I've decided to put the disposable to good use. From spice containers to pickle jars: after a good wash I fill these objects thoughts, messages and poems and place them in the world. The Philadelphia world.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(50, 50, 50); font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); " ><div class="post-body entry-content" style="width: 536px; position: relative; line-height: 1.4; "><br />We have much to gain from the observation of our material life. There is likewise much to be gleaned from the predecessors to everyday objects. What we now regard as commonplace are the progeny of multiple systems born from human innovation. Independence Living History Center had provided the public with an entry point into our object's past as well as the cultural past of Philadelphia, a vital opportunity. Due to lack of funding, this center was forced to move--thus closing its doors to the public. Treasures lay beneath our feet, windows for understanding and context. The archaeologists and volunteers of ILHC work to bring these treasures to light, reformed and reconfigured in all their glory.<br /><br /><br />http://www.nps.gov/inde/ilhc.htm<br /><br />This mapping project is an effort to both raise awareness for their cause and (hopefully) create new regard for the banal. Containers will continually appear throughout Philadelphia. As they are placed, I will post the dates and locations of drop points here. The contents of these containers will not be revealed on this site; you must seek them out.</div></span></div>j.cliggleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09623195203340327033noreply@blogger.com0
