When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again. </em></p> <p><em>At her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, where she shared a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing and this is what happened.</em></p> </blockquote>http://deathtravelswest.tumblr.com/post/45131195438http://deathtravelswest.tumblr.com/post/45131195438Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:41:31 -0400<object width="425px" height="360px"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="movie" value="http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/embed.aspx/m=9912145,t=1,mt=video" /><embed src="http://mediaservices.myspace.com/services/media/embed.aspx/m=9912145,t=1,mt=video" width="400" height="338" allowfullscreen="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Still funny after all these years…</p>http://deathtravelswest.tumblr.com/post/45127267717http://deathtravelswest.tumblr.com/post/45127267717Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:50:00 -0400<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/58444378?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&badge=0" width="400" height="224" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>As the father of a child who, as a by-product of sensory issues, is compelled to pace as a coping mechanism, I found this to be riveting and a little scary at the same time.  Fucking ace soundtrack courtesy of Todd Terje’s epic <em>It’s The Arps</em> EP. </p> <p>Now, we know who “Inspector Norse” is…</p>http://deathtravelswest.tumblr.com/post/42190384350http://deathtravelswest.tumblr.com/post/42190384350Sun, 03 Feb 2013 10:33:59 -0500<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/93vzwvRKbpg?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>There was a time that rock ‘n’ roll was easy…</p>http://deathtravelswest.tumblr.com/post/39509387035http://deathtravelswest.tumblr.com/post/39509387035Wed, 02 Jan 2013 17:59:28 -0500<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vW7Z20fJH6I?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Upon viewing this, a friend said “this is eight minutes too short.”  I concur…</p>http://deathtravelswest.tumblr.com/post/38967385786http://deathtravelswest.tumblr.com/post/38967385786Thu, 27 Dec 2012 14:01:49 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vncbG-QJlng?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>It’s gorgeously shot, impeccably soundtracked and indulgently abstract… all the things you should want in a short film.
