Half these talks took place at a Union Square health-food store that we call ¡°W.F.¡± Other locations included MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Opera House, Central Park, Prospect Park, and a Tribeca parking garage. What follows is our twentieth conversation. Here sickness, emptiness, a train delay, and an argument seem to prefigure disaster and the project¡¯s sudden end. But this disaster¡ªmuch like the two-character Japanese word for ¡°crisis¡±: the first one meaning ¡°danger,¡± the second, ¡°opportunity¡±¡ªoffers clarities perhaps best expressed by a Japanese proverb:Luck turnsWait %U http://www.excursions-journal.org.uk/index.php/excursions/article/view/49
