Hay un super artículo en el ART FORUM,

I REMEMBER RALSTON, que junto con el de Holland Cotter que ya he linkeado en otro post, completan el perfil del artista que fue fiel a sus credos artí­sticos, que no dejo retratar ni una sola de sus obras, que solo veí­a tiempo en sus performativas creaciones y que, claro está, no lo recuerda ni su padre.

En fin

Rejecting documentation, the artist formerly known as Steven Robert Snyder would seem to have taken to heart Korzybski’s famous dictum “The map is not the territory“but what is the territory in the case of Ralston Farina, if not a map pieced together from dispersed, shredded, half-forgotten memories?
