The Work Office (TWO) is a multidisciplinary art project disguised as an employment agency. Informed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) of the Great Depression in the 1930s,
TWO is a gesture to “make work” for visual and performing artists, writers, and others by giving them simple, idea-based assignments that explore, document, and improve daily life in New York City.

You are invited to submit an application online, choosing from one of the following assignments:
Build a bridge
Document a need for repairs
Make a regional travel guide for your block or neighborhood
Record an oral history
Reinterpret a newspaper photograph
Design a poster to promote something
Catalog existing WPA structures in New York
Make a mixed CD related to…
Give a concert for your houseplant
Start an American tradition that you’d like to be preserved
Assign yourself
A TWO administrator will contact and interview applications of interest.
Once hired, you will have a week to complete your assignment, for which you will be paid $23.50, the weekly wage for an artist in the Federal One Project (the arts division of the WPA).
TWO will hold a Payday Party at the office at the end of each work week: April 23, May 7, and May 21. Employees will collect their wages and the public will be invited to view the week’s works and learn about the project.
We are accepting applications on a rolling basis through April 30, 2010. Please visit our website

Another Wendy Paton exhibit opened
March 25, 2010at Joyce Towbin Chasan Art Source International Gallery at 333 Park Ave. So., NYC, NY 10010, 212 228 5908. This one is so different from the Visaes De Nuit exhibit at the Sous Les Etoiles Gallery of B&W almost abstract soft focus portraits.
in this exhibit Wendy concentrates on the city Paris, France where she has spend a lot of her time, showing us its wonderful Carousel from many different angles which brings back memories of anyone who’s visited Paris. Least we forget the prints of I.M.Pei’s the Louve Pyramid which brought memories of mary’s and my stay just three blocks away on our visit.
Included some of my favorites of those fascinating French hallways. I had only a passing remembrances of them from the french movies of the sixties but here Wendy has captured them in beautiful B&W prints . Anyone who has had an apartment in paris will remember what i am talking about. alas there are no pictures to show you because wendy never sent any over to me.
Joyce Towbin Chasan always has such a warm welcome feeling in her gallery. We first met her during Aneta Barto’s exhibit for Emmanuel Fremin’s gallery who was showing at Joyce’s space. i feel comfortable as if i am in my own living room at her space. mary and i both love talking with her. she seems to be one of those few people who have an open heart and generous nature at least easy to talk to.
also talked with Tracey Henry of Type A Media who had some great suggestions for mary’s and mine Labor of love pic wedding and maternity business. so who knew or knows whom or what they will find once they venture out of their confines? one of the topics of conversations Tracey and i had were about there being no difference between giving and receiving, they both are the same thing.
not a bad evening at all, i’d say a pretty good one.
writing LMCC proposal or wasting time looking for something found
March 23, 2010today i am trying to finish up a Lower Manhattan Culture Council application for a workspace. this is my first time application for anything of this kind. seems collage people take classes in this or are born with these qualities. for me it’s a big push, not in doing my artistic work, just writing about it. glad i took those creative writing courses at the new school. i am sort of stymied at doing a resume, i don’t want a job, i’ve had too many of those. all i want out of this is a clean space to work.
so i needed to put together a cd of images and all the ones i selected are a few years old, lets dig through a HD and see what i can find, it’s always interesting.
Parul Shah Dancer
these images are part of a commission work for the Parul Shah Dance company advertisement but are my outtakes. originally they had me shooting in a dance rehearsal studio way too small and ugly background, but ‘all we need are the images and we’ll photoshop the background out.’ OK
Parul Shah Dancers
but i think listening to me and doing these images in a more controled enviroment is better for the images, but hey what do i know
Parul Shah Dancers
these images are from reshoot in my studio because my camera canon 20d at the time stopped working. it does that every once in a while oh well. so we did these the next day. but i can’t remember if they were happy with the other images or what but i got a couple for me.
Parul Shah Dancer
odd that some people come through my life briefly and i never hear from them again while others keep in touch, life is that way.

Canon 5D Mll Firmware update to update
March 23, 2010
Dear Jene,
Thank you for using Canon products.
We apologize sincerely for the inconvenience caused to our customers by suspending the availability of the Version 2.0.3 firmware.
We are now introducing the Version 2.0.4 firmware. This firmware corrects the malfunction that occurred in the previous Version 2.0.3 firmware, in which the manual recording level changed and made recording impossible.
Customers who have the Version 2.0.3 firmware on their cameras should update the firmware to Version 2.0.4.
Functional Enhancements
In the Version 2.0.4 firmware, the following phenomena that occurred with the Version 2.0.3 firmware (which was to enhance the movie functions) have been corrected.
- There was a phenomenon in which the manual recording settings made in C1/C2/C3 were changed and sound could not be recorded if manual sound recording was used in the C1/C2/C3 settings and the camera was subsequently turned off (or if Auto Power Off was activated). This does not occur in modes other than C1/C2/C3.
The Version 2.0.4 firmware includes the movie function enhancements listed in items 1 through 5 below, and also incorporates the correction listed in item 6.
-
-
- 1920×1080 : 30 fps (changed – actual 29.97 fps)
- 1920×1080 : 24 fps (added – actual 23.976 fps)
- 640×480 : 30 fps (changed – actual 29.97 fps)
- 1920×1080 : 25 fps (added – actual 25.0 fps)
- 1920×1080 : 24 fps (added – actual 23.976 fps)
- 640×480 : 25 fps (added – actual 25.0 fps)
- NTSC:
- PAL:
-
- Adds or changes the following movie frame rates.
- Adds a function for manually adjusting the sound recording level (64 levels).
- Adds a histogram display (brightness or RGB) for shooting movies in manual exposure.
- Adds shutter-priority AE mode (Tv) and aperture-priority AE (Av) mode to the exposure modes for shooting movies.
- Changes the audio sampling frequency from 44.1 KHz to 48 KHz.
- Fixes a phenomenon where communication between the camera and the attached lens is sometimes interrupted after manual sensor cleaning. (This phenomenon only affects units with Firmware Version 1.2.4.)
Affected Product
EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR
Firmware
Firmware update Version 2.0.4 is now available for download from the following URL: http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/firm-e/eos5dm2/firmware.html
Notes
Firmware Version 2.0.4 is for EOS 5D Mark II cameras with firmware up to Version 2.0.3. If the camera’s firmware is already Version 2.0.4, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
Movies captured using EOS 5D Mark II cameras with Firmware Version 1.1.0 to 1.2.4 can be played back on cameras updated with Firmware Version 2.0.4. However, if you try to play back movies captured with a camera with the new firmware on a camera with a previous firmware version, the message “Cannot play back image” appears on the camera’s LCD monitor.
It is recommended that you use the latest Canon applications1 to edit movies captured with EOS 5D Mark II cameras that have the latest firmware because some previous versions do not support movie-editing functions and the frame rates that are added or changed by the latest firmware. You can download the latest Canon applications from our Web site.
1 ZoomBrowser EX Version 6.5.0 or later (compatible operating systems: Windows XP/Vista/7)
ImageBrowser Version 6.5.0 or later (compatible operating systems: Mac OS X v10.4/10.5/10.6)
In addition to the enhancements to the movie function, the accompanying instruction manual has also been revised. Users are asked to download both the latest firmware and the latest instruction manual.
(When updating the firmware of your camera, please first read the instructions thoroughly before you download the firmware.)

Live Nudity at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC
March 19, 2010NEW YORK, NY.- The human form, disrobed and displayed in all its glory, is arguably the most enduring motif in the history of Western art. Museums dedicated to art both ancient and modern are filled with nudes rendered every which way: painted, chiseled, molded, sketched and photographed.
They’re just usually not living and breathing. But New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) will host daily performances of five seminal works by Marina Abramović, three of which feature performers in the altogether. In Imponderabilia (1977), two players stand opposite each other, au naturel, in a narrow doorway. Visitors must brush past them to enter the exhibition—an early, if awkward, example of interactive art. On exhibition 14 March through 31 May, 2010.
and if you time your visit right you can also see a rareity from Germany in “World on a Wire”, 1973. Germany. Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Pictured: Barbara Valentin. Courtesy: Rainer Werner Fassbinder Foundation.
NEW YORK, NY.- ‘World on a Wire’ (1973), written and directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder (German, 1945–1982) and based on the novel Simulacron-3 by American author Daniel F. Galouve, will have a weeklong run at MoMA, from April 14 through April 19, 2010. Originally made for German television in 1973, Fassbinder’s revolutionary adaptation has only been shown in America once before, in 1997, as part of a comprehensive Fassbinder retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art.
while i’ve never understood all of his films i’ve always found him interesting and knowing that Michael Ballhaus did some of the cinematography is an education in it’s self.
I first fell in love with Fassbinder for his “Berlin Alexanderplatz” done in 14 episodes, 1980 and shown on PBS when PBS filled it’s mandate of bringing quality television to the airways. now PBS is just a shadow of it’s former self especially the new york stations. i think the nyc stations should be taken off the air.
