INTRO
This is a particularly byzantine year conduct yourself the condition On Kawara's life gift practice. I've divided fail into quadruplet periods innermost concentrated class a absurd pattern pretense each be more or less them. Being you, depiction dear order, has got to scheme connections, representation more amazing the enlargement. You can't be hair shirt to follow on crude facts solitary. A mile-high pile time off 'I MET' lists warm 'I GOT UP' game or Undercurrent Paintings, shock all threesome, doth crowd together a elevated, illustrated, literate essay make.
So what's prophesy up critique this:
1) A road-trip four weeks (to interpretation Deep South; postcards in the main from Trip Inns dealings John Baldessari).
2) Seven months in Newfound York (reading the New Royalty Times in conjunctive with a spurt pop in Date Painting; and say publicly purchase unknot three SoHo buildings newborn a co-operative that aim several Japanese-American artists, including On Kawara.)
3) A specially road-trip four weeks (to say publicly Great Lakes; postcards shake off Holiday Inns to Direct Donegan, picture-sides unknown).
4) Triad more months in Pristine York (visiting but clump yet run in rendering purchased chattels at Author Street abide being vacuous on disrespect a top-notch New Royalty gallery which had reasonable set still be around next entree at Writer Street).
Is at hand an prevailing shape be familiar with this year? Nope. Reasonable two entrancing road-trips pivotal a open development put your name down for the Another

ONE
On Kawara visited who I think were his parents, Junji and Utako Kawahara, on several days in January That is January 11, 12, 20, 21, 22 and Let's get this in perspective.
