Hapax Legomenon: a word or form occurring only once in a document or corpus. This term is usually applied to words in the Hebrew bible, whose meanings are uncertain or unknown. Hebrew had been a dead language for almost 1,800 years. The only way it was preserved was in sacred writings. And Hebrew is written without vowels, to give the precise word, and without punctutation, which helps give context clues. It is unsurprising then that the meanings of words which appear only once or twice have been lost. There are about 1,500 hapax legomena in the Hebrew bible. However, due to Hebrew roots, suffixes and prefixes (which have been used to make educated guesses), there are only 400 “true” hapax legomena, ones with no clearly related words in Hebrew.

The stethoscope is celebrating it’s 200th birthday this year! Invented in 1816 by a young French physician, it was intended to preserve the modesty of a young female patient. Dr. Laennec was uncomfortable simply putting his ear to the woman’s chest, as was the usual practice at the time. And thus was born what has become a permanent fixture around today’s doctor’s necks.

“If we point out that Trump is godawful, people that already like him will just like him more!” is a cool and useful observation if you are entering your worst observations into a bad observations contest and wanna win the annual Most Milquetoastly Feckless Contrarian Liberal Deservedly The First Against The Wall When The Revolution Comes Certificate of Participation that everyone gets for entering any ideas at all.

In my life sometimes I am the Bjork and sometimes I am the P.Diddy. But mostly, I am the Bjork.
Possibly, maybe!

On the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of MoMA’s groundbreaking exhibition, The Responsive Eye (1965), El Museo del Barrio (in partnership with the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Buenos Aires) presents The Illusive Eye, an international survey on Kinetic and Op art. The exhibition offers a broad intellectual context for Op art and geometric abstraction, one that goes against the grain of formalist art history. The selection provides a special focus on artwork from the Americas and features major artists from seventeen countries in Latin America and beyond. Learn more at elmuseo.org.
