   I expect to attend my building's Open Studios event on December 19.
   On the fourth floor, 53 works from my Weeks and Months are hanging,
   and can be seen when the building is open. Enter through the lot
   near 3420 S. Racine. My work is in two locations, one near 4F4052.

   After nearly forty years, I have begun making films again, in 4K video
   and best seen projected. All are silent. See Interactions, Journals, and
   Haikus There's a statement on InteractionsI like very much by a young
   Brazilian, Pedro Accioly. See also Liam Kenny's fine essay on them.

   Just published is my essay on the Western genre, with analyses of two
   films, Rancho Notorious and Johnny Guitar, in English and Portuguese.
   I have posted correspondence about Brakhage with a young Brazilian
   friend. My book Seeking Brakhage has garnered four favorable reviews.
   I have a jeremiad titled Our Flattening Culture, on our distatrous present
   and the restorative power of art, in the journal Logos, also in Portuguese.

   I have added a link to a long talk of mine on Fritz Lang's great film, M.
   Two friends have made videos about my art, Dreams of Lost Wholeness
   by Brian Hischier, and fred's unthreadings by Yoel Meranda.
