'One Hundred Fish Fountain' is a fully functional fountain comprising 97 bronze casts of fish suspended throughout the air which noisily shoot water out of their mouths into a large basin below.

'Air Fountain' | Daniel Wurtzel: Sheets of colored fabric fly continuously above a disc shaped base with a reflective black mirror top surface. With no visible means of propulsion, the viewer is left to speculate about the source and dynamics of their movements. This piece may be made at virtually any scale as a sculpture, an architectural installation, a round, movable stage unto itself, or incorporated into a larger flat surface.

It is made of a massive transparent acrylic cylinder filled with water flowing in a circular movement, which forms an air-core vortex in the centre. One appears to be looking at a solid uncontained block of water as the acrylic seems to have no substance.

Right there in a pond stood 4 statues of famous Dictators like Stalin, Franco, Louis XIV.. and they are all spitting in each others faces in a symbolic way by using water from the pond. The Spanish artist Fernando Sanchez Castillo is responsible.

Donetsk, Ukraine
The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) recently lost one of its campus’s most subtle and unusual piece of public art. An untitled fountain by the late conceptual artist Michael Asher, created for the university’s Stuart Collection of site-specific art, was reduced to rubble earlier this month when a masked vigilante wielding a sledgehammer rampaged through the campus, San Diego 6 reported. During his spree, the perpetrator also broke eight surveillance cameras surrounding the campus’ Mandeville Center and left behind a message scrawled in golden spray paint that read: “YOU CAN PAINT OVER ME YOU CAN CATCH ME YOU CAN EXPELL [sic] ME I WILL STILL BE HERE.” The sculpture, a granite and steel replica of a generic indoor drinking fountain, subverted the conventions of outdoor fountain design while also serving a practical function for thirsty students.

p.s. Hey. ** Unknown, Hi, again. Thanks for your understanding! And for your excellent work! *** Dennis Cooper, Meh. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Gaspar Noe could spit on the ground, and it would be better than anything Von Trier has done since 1998. Ha ha. Soon you will be able to include Zac's and my 'Like Cattle Towards Glow' in your short list of best non-porno films with sex acts in them. ** Etc etc etc, Hi. 'Literary-contextual history on rap': That is extremely intriguing and promising. Very nice. All my receptors are open to your vibes. ** Steevee, I think I got about 25 minutes into 'Brown Bunny' before I'd had plenty. You think the depression might be an aftermath or transition thing from you're having been ill lately? In any case, I'm so sorry, and I'm glad you got your appt. moved up. What do I know, but it seems like your writing 'career' is going really well from a fan and consumer point of view. I heard some bits from the Shamir album. Seemed pretty good, yeah. He's about to play here at the Sonique Villette Festival, and I've been wondering whether to go. ** _Black_Acrylic, Eurovision was last night? No. Wait, was it the semi-finals, or ... ? Did I, with my newly working TV, actually miss Eurovision this year? That would suck. ** Kier, Hi, Inkieredible! Oh, shit. I'm glad your internet did a magic trick! My fingers are getting imaginary sores just reading about all that blackcurrant bud picking. And getting cramps. Do you ever get finger cramps? Like finger charley-horses, to use what I think is the American slang term for cramps? I did once. Ouch. Yeah, all I expect from 'Mad Max' is slightly more than the usual blockbuster-issued fun, so I think I should be okay. What's up with Oslo? Should you nudge them? I think my day was all writing. Zac couldn't read the current draft of the script due to an unexpected personal duty, so I worked on it a little more, hopefully improving-ly. I had to do some revisions long distance on the new Gisele piece since she's in Halle, and I'm not. That was fairly easy. The biggest worry -- that the piece will be insanely long -- turned out not to be true. As of yesterday's version, it's only 1 hour 50 minutes. That would make it by far our longest piece, but it's not insane. She's going to try to find a way to cut ten minutes out of it, though. So, I did those things. And, surprisingly, that took most of the day. This morning I have to go to a funeral. This really wonderful guy Thierry, who worked at my French publisher POL for forever, and who co-translated 'Frisk' into French, and who was just awesome, died three days ago. That's going to be sad. So, I'll do that and then confer with Zac about the script. How was your Friday, all things considered? Big hugs back to you galore. ** James, Thanks, man. Oh, sure, I'll give it a total shot for you. Everyone, Hi. Does anyone within the view of these words have a copy of my o.o.p. scrapbook book 'GONE' that they would be willing to trade with writer/d.l. James for copies of two Peter Sotos books: 'Mine' and 'Comfort and Critique'? That would be really swell of you as well a really good deal. Please, if you can and want to do that, let James know in the comments area unless you have direct contact info for him. Thanks ** Chilly Jay Chill, Hi, Jeff! I managed to put together a Janie Geiser post. It was really good to get back in touch with her work and catch up via excerpts. Such interesting stuff. Post-'Twenty Nine Palms'? I honestly do like all of his films, and I suspect my picks are fairly mine/personal, but maybe ... 'Flandres' or 'Hors Satan'? I saw that you've started a column at Fanzine! That's awesome! I read your first one yesterday. Excellent, kudos! Let me share the wealth with everybody else who might not already know. Everyone, Chilly Jay Chill aka Jeff Jackson ... oh, wait, I'll quote him: 'You - and others here - might be interested in this: I'm writing a column for The Fanzine called "Ideal Home Noise." The first installment covers a box set of Alain Robbe-Grillet films, photography documenting Czech art underground of 1960s and 70s, and a graphic novel with echoes of Raymond Roussel. Here's the link.' You want to click that link, folks, for sure. ** Misanthrope, That LPS mom person is in it deep, it sounds like. So, if it hopefully works out, does that mean you guys will have to start being more hard ass with him about school and not going to bed at 5 in the morning that kind of stuff? ** Chris Dankland, Hi, Chris! Yeah, in my limited dealings with him, as described ... yesterday (?), he seemed pretty proper and reserved and adult. But not in a bad way at all. He had this very dry, pervasive humor that threw a wrench into his reserve and everything he said. But that was in the '80s. Maybe he was more overtly wacked back when it was socially accepted if not even encouraged to be wacked. I hope your morning is both serene and supercharged! ** Okay. I started thinking about fountains, and my fingers started walking, and today happened. See you tomorrow.
