REFRAME

as i've reiterated before, the existance of a concentric reframe both literally underlines the existing overframe and undermines its power to section and sanction. By reframing, a piece can exist in plural dimensions when considering a "frame" as a context with which to interpret what's inside of it.

on jerome rothenburg:
-dadaism relates pointedly to my frame philosophy in that it seeks to obscure and reject any sort of framing within an art historical canon- it even hates to be framed under an "ism" and thus dadaism is a paradoxical term. rothenburg reframes the spirit of dadaism by straining images together for no apparant reason: finally settling on the image of duchamp's fountain.
