Nathaniel Stern<\/a> took a bit of a hammering<\/a> in various quarters for this piece,
\nmade on a residency in Croatia.
\nI think there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an probably an element of you-had-to-be-there about this
\nalthough<\/em>, that said, I think the video is rather magical &
\ndoes as good a job of summoning the kind of ephemeral spell this stuff can weave
\nas any I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen.
\nLastly it has to be said the reason Nathaniel is great is because
\n(1) he has a frightening amount of energy, more indeed, really, than his fair share –
\nhe starts 5 \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcisms\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 before breakfast
\n(2) he is bold, unafraid to risk looking ridiculous & therefore quite often as an artist
\nhe goes to much more interesting places than most\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6
\nIn general I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll take a Nathaniel \u00e2\u20ac\u0153failure\u00e2\u20ac\u009d over quite a lot of folks\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153success\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks, Michael. Tom Moody came to this piece’s defense<\/a> a day or two after Paddy’s pan (above), as well. This video has actually since been updated\/edited (only had one day to do it in situ in Croatia), available here<\/a>. Follow-up piece (passage) is here<\/a>. Not sure what’s next, but it’s growing and changing as I ride it out, or fuck it and go in the opposite direction…<\/p>\n
