As time goes by, it is the established patterns of thought, the known
arguments, the self-perpetuating truths which become the principal
defenders of the structures in place. ..The active vocabulary needed to
question, even to simply discuss them, has withered away.
| The Dead-Artist Desert Trailer-Park is located in the American
| Southwest Desert. I basically inherited (after paying back-taxes)
| an isolated, derelict trailer-park which is being
| transformed without the interference of cultural bureaucrats
| into a working resource for creative pursuits. The financial
| overhead is practically non-existent; creative applicants are
| told the location of the Trailer-Park and given written permission
| to abide there. Usually some structural and creative contribution
| is made to the Park during your stay. No application fees, slides,
| references, or resumes are required or desired. A questionnaire is
| sent to all applicants. The current residents will invite new
| applicants to visit. APPLICATIONS FOR THE NEXT SEASON ARE BEING
| PERUSED NOW; an electronic response is preferred.
