The Mechanic

Phil was in town to install another Jorge Pardo show. He's part of the crack team behind the Pardo enterprise. Here, Phil and the gallery staff at Neugeriemschneider Gallery are wrangling with the installation of a show involving lamps, a table with an integrated Apple computer, a "grandfather" clock (animated by another Mac Mini), and paintings, so I've heard.

Phil is the mechanic, like Winston Wolf. Remember the Tarantino film?

The Wolf: You're... Jimmie, right? This is your house?

Jimmie: Sure is.

The Wolf: I'm Winston Wolf. I solve problems.

Jimmie: Good, we got one.

The Wolf: So I heard. May I come in?

Jimmie: Uh, yeah, please do.

Oh yea, and the balloons? The young lad Daniel (an artist from Texas who works for the gallery) has a special technique for hanging lamps.
