THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

I’m wondering if appropriation as procedure will become the supplementary sweetheart for gallery toughs.  I have a funny feeling it’s the stuff of which art/writing is made of.  Personally, I think it would be far more entertaining to continue to customize the built-in elements that appropriation provides, and concentrate on why certain records sound better when someone on the radio station plays them, than when we’re home alone, and play the same records ourselves.
