Dripping

Christopher Reilly’s ranch house in Michigan. “It must have been two or three days before I was aware of the problem,” he recalls. “I was pulling the car out of my garage one day and noticed a pool of ice on the floor. I looked up and saw that water was dripping down from the ceiling.” Chapter 4: Mold, Bugs, Floods, Earthquakes . . .

Check the film!” Dr. Cham pulled out a length of film from the projection feed, melted and dripping from its end. “Curse that! These projectors are quality! I’ve never had this happen. There’s no way.” Hunting For a Voice “I don’t think it was the projector,” said Dr. Cham. “Something flew across that screen and uttered a blistering moan.”

I do not entertain much; our means forbid it. In truth, other people entertain for us. We enjoy that hospitality of which no account is made. We see the show, and hear the music, and smell the flowers of great festivities, tasting as it were the drippings from rich dishes. Our own dinner service is remarkably plain, our dinners, even on state occasions, are strictly in keeping, and almost our only guest is Titbottom. I buy a handful of roses as I come up from the office, perhaps, and Prue arranges

éléments indissociables, tout comme les mots jeans, slacks, trousers, pants, shorts... du chapitre 10. Cette vieille maison : les problèmes et les réparations Il a plu toute la journée, et tout d’un coup, la pluie n’est plus seulement dehors, elle est dripping (dri-pign) (en train de couler goutte à goutte) aussi sur la moquette ! Ou l’eau des WC ne part pas dans l’égout, mais déborde et se répand sur le sol ! Il est temps de demander de l’aide. Chapitre 13 : La maison américaine Si vous êtes locataire

_____________________ ‘’Picabaj et Bacasso’’ (1969) Essai Raymond Queneau exprime son admiration pour le peintre italien Enrico Baj que, comme l’indique le jeu de mots du titre, il compare à Picabia et à Picasso. Parti des taches et du «dripping nucléaire», sa peinture avait évolué vers une figuration violente chargée de satire politique et d’humour. ____________________________________________________________ _____________________ Le 12 septembre 1970, Raymond Queneau fut le témoin

The people fill their cans with water and carry them up the hills. And later you see the water dripping down the hill in dirty sewage. It is a pitiful thing. Right next to these hills are the exciting buildings of the Copacabana beach, beautiful apartments, and so on. And I said to my friends in the Point Four program, "Is this a problem of technical

devient parfois plus sociologique que technique, comme dans l’exposition « Pollock et le chamanisme » qui s’attardait sur le lien entre Pollock et le chamanisme et sur sa transcription dans la peinture de Pollock avant de disséquer la technique du dripping, si particulière à l’artiste, et dont chaque musée nous a déjà vanté les mérites. Cette position est assumée et soutenue par la disposition des œuvres. A ce titre nous pouvons citer le commentaire de artscape lors de l’exposition « Roy Lichtenstein

la prise de conscience du caractère mystificateur de l'art, reconnu par les artistes eux-mêmes. La déchirure n'est pas, comme je le pensais d'abord, un acte radical, définitif. Il s'inscrit dans la suite des techniques antérieures, qui furent le dripping de Pollock, toutes les formes de peinture gestuelle, le tir à la carabine sur une oeuvre ou les machines autodestructrices, les recherches par le feu ou la sublimation d'Yves Klein, le cisaillement esthétique de la toile par Fontana.
