Irving Penn x Issey Miyake

2009-10-08T01:07:00.009Z

Another book, I know, but Irving Penn's death reminded me that
I was horribly remiss in my earlier list of the most influential books on my life.
Penn's photos of Issey Miyake's designs (1975- 1998) completely changed my personal aesthetic.

Three books

2009-10-07T17:44:00.012Z

Air Guitar is probably one of three books that most changed my life,
the others being Slouching Towards Bethlehem and Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung,
but the only time I was in a room with Dave Hickey, I walked out on the lecture
and went to eat onion rings with J. instead, and it was the right decision.

Just reread this interview in The Believer:

"I think you want to learn about art because you had an experience of some sort — a totally nonredemptive but vaguely exciting experience, like brushing up against a girl with big boobs in the subway."

And:

"Never confess, never explain, never apologize, and never complain."
