Was able to watch Cronenberg #22 on a big screen in London...but I'm only at #13 in the Cronathon* so it cannot yet be added to the thread. *the chronological (re)watching of all Cronenberg movies

On holiday in London, and the Prince Charles cinema is being excellent as usual:

@shittycap @MasterTimBlais – at Genoa, Liguria

And of course: "They're gynecological instruments for working on mutant women." "Mutant women? That's a great theme for a show." "It's not for a show. It's not art." – at Gießen, Deutschland

Getting better at controlling pressure and line width, but now discovering how awkward the airbrush is to draw with, super difficult to make a steady line. My respect for Giger et al grows. – at Gießen, Deutschland

OK getting the hang of it gradually! This one with watercolour paints. – at Gießen, Deutschland

Trying with tattoo inks rather than acrylic/gouache. Seems easier to get vibrant darks. Still getting lots of paint runs though. Next time I try lower pressure or thicker paint...

Lots of fiddly air pressure stuff to get the hang of, and the compressor is loud. But immediately lends itself to smooth gradients and layered stencil textures that are really hard to get with other kinds of painting. Seems interesting, stay tuned for me learning how to use it!?

This is going to be an adventure just setting it up! – at Gießen, Deutschland

Went to the HR Giger museum in Gruyères and immediately came home and ordered myself an airbursh. What great textures he had, huh. – at Gießen, Deutschland

That feeling when you begin a 0.03mm pen texture then realise it's going to be super tedious filling the whole space with it...

We've started cheering and shouting BARRY CONVEX every time Leslie Carlson shows up, which has been the last three movies (though sadly looks like this is the end of his Cronenrun).

Started doodling with oil paint and ended up with...a renaissance lizard battle 🤷‍♀️🦎

Interesting. What do you see as the distinction between the metamodern and more "traditional" performance-based art (eg Yves Klein's nude bodyprint paintings or Maria Abramovic installing herself in galleries)?
