This month in ATA’s store-front window and in the Gallery, work by Kyle
Knobel.

Increasing in Significance conveys four simultaneous acts of dizzying repetition and combines seemingly disparate sources of inspiration: Johannes Kepler, the mathematician who discovered the elliptical orbits of planets and Buster Keaton, the silent film actor and director. Exploiting the illusionism of relative motion, the camera captures the necessity of an individual trying to keep pace with a constantly moving environment while revealing the ultimate futility, and humor, of that effort.

Famous Blue Raincoat

It’s four in the morning, the end of December

I’m writing you now just to see if you’re better

New York  is cold, but i like where l’m living

There’s music on Clinton Street all through the evening

I hear  that your building your little house deep in the desert

You’re living for nothing now, I hope you’re keeping some kind of record

Yes, and jane came by with a lock of your hair

She said that you gave it to her

That night that you planned to go clear

Did you ever go clear?

Ah the last time we saw you you looked so much older

Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder

You’d been to the station to meet every train

And you came home without lili Marlene

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life

And when she came back she was nobody’s wife

Well i see there with  the  rose in your teeth

One more thin gypsy thief

Well I see jane’s awake–

She sends her regards

And what i tell my brother, my killer

What can i possibly say?

I guess that i miss you, I guess I forgive you

I glad you stood in my way.

If you evercome by here, for jane or for me

Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free

Yes, and thanks for the trouble you took from her eyes

I thought it was there for good so i never tried

And Jane came by with a lock of your hair

She said that you had gave it to her

That night that you planned to go clear—

Sincerely , L. Cohen
