assemblage (ə-sěm'blĭj)

an artistic process in which a three-dimensional artistic composition is made from putting together found objects

also, a collection of artifacts from a single datable component of an archaeological site.

Here’s “Destino,” the Walt Disney and Salvador Dalí collaboration begun in 1945. It premiered in a French theater in 2003, but just hit the internet as far as we can tell.

Which crazy writer are you?



Bonne Marie completed the quiz “Which Crazy Writer Are You?” with the result J.D. Salinger.

You are quite possibly one of the greatest creative minds of your generation… not that you want anyone to know, of course. Not only have you been in hiding for several decades, you refuse to publish any of your recent work. You would very likely be a perennial Pulitzer Prize candidate, but your writing sits in a de-humidified bank vault in your humble New Hampshire ranch, awaiting the day that your next-of-kin decides to make a few hundred million dollars. Why the secrecy? Afraid people will read too much into your repeated affairs with barely-of-age girls? Afraid people will begin to see you in every single one of your maladjusted, unstable characters?.
