Necropastoral is
infecting,
politicizing,
Plath-ing out, getting
loveydovey, going
post-human, getting documented in the
Cahiers, showing up in
The Simpsons and in
class, and
terrorizing children.
The Collected Songs of Cactus Cooler is an (in-progress) exhibition of the Collected Songs of Cactus Cooler, the ghost of a youth, who roamed the northeastern states during the 1990s. All songs were improvised and recorded between 1996 and 1998, in Connecticut, Maine and New York. Cactus Cooler was the nom de guerre of artist and writer [and TSky Press
author] Brandon Shimoda, and owed a life debt to close friends and fellow artists Eskimo Ron, Joey Blister (a.k.a. Joey Bluesplosion) and Seatbelt. You can also watch
a film of Cactus Cooler's "Wrong Things" by TSky contributor Zachary Schomburg.
