•desire to define/understand Indian Alcatraz as a work of public writing
•how can we think about the occupation as a composition in itself?
•this has roots in the most recent (‘09) 4Cs call for papers...the call references the occupation as one example of why San Francisco is a “fitting site” for a conference
•as Jef Rice says...”we tell spacial stories”
•as i might gloss...things are composed within and through space, space writes things in themselves...and back the other way too
•struck by possible juxtaposition of Indian Alcatraz and Happenings
•the image with “Indian Land” rewriting Alcatraz prompts thoughts of Happenings...event scores
•maybe all regulatory signage could be read as event scores...directions for action...
•think of Happenings, think of Duchamp
•“Dear Yuki” - all naming and titling is scoring
•“I now have an idea...” “(taking something apart and then putting it back together again)”
• take apart/put together again - can be done temporally, and literally...nostalgia is dangerous here...
•a current “Happening” or “taking apart and putting back together again” = the argentina factory occupations...
