I WAS AN "INDUSTRIAL" ARTIST #5


FRAGMENT 1 (1989) was of my favorite projects/collaborations with Dan Plunkett of ND,  a magazine and cassette label from Texas that openly encouraged sharing of ideas,  imagery,  and sonic exploration. It consisted of my drawings,  as well as soundworks from Jeff Greinke and Pierre Perret (who both also contributed interviews to the package).  The Hater's G.X. Juppitter-Larsen wrote something of a  short  treatise on "chance" for the accompanying booklet.  When viewed,  listened to,  and read,  the package seemed to suggest that the "cassette culture"  was  a viable response to the commodification of artistic pursuits.  Everything was so hands-on that I can still see fingerprints on the pages.
