Misc. Recomendations from the denizens of alt.gothic
Art
- Ross Bleckner (esp. his 'Architecture of the Sky' paintings)
- Brodsky and Utkin (architctural engravings that look like they could be
illustrations to Italo Calvino's 'Invisible Cities')
- Robert Longo (painting/sculpture installations, post 'Men in the Cities')
Books
See the Alt.gothic.books list for a well organised page. These are ones that
sounded interesting to me and I wanted to keep track of for trips
to the book store.

(This is an incredible album! If you like Medieval/Renaissance/
Baroque music, BUY THIS DISC!!! It was intended to be a score for
the newly-restored silent film classic ThePassionOfJoanOfArc.
Anonymous 4 do the voice of Joan, the lyrics are based on the
transcripts of the trial as well as a.) the writings of female medieval
mystics and b.) writings by medieval scholars on the 'proper' role of
women. It also features samples of the church bells from Joan's
childhood church - her 'voices of light'... Utter bliss, incredibly
powerful... good liner notes, too...)
