Changing Michael

Author: Jeff Schilling

Number of pages: 191

Matthew knows how things work. He’s pretty much an expert. For example: friends. Friendship requires both give and take, and Matthew strongly prefers taking. The solution is close acquaintances—people who think you’re their friend because you nod and act interested about whatever the hell they’re talking about. School? Perfectly pleasant as long as you don’t pay attention. Mom? Award yourself a point for each hands on hips or young man. Wear her down until you can get what you want. The general rule: The less anyone knows about you, the better. But even someone as clever as Matthew needs practice. That’s where Michael comes in. See, Michael doesn’t get it. He’s the kind of kid who comes up with the answer before the teacher. He’s the kind of kid who asks questions. He’s the kind of kid who still has the ratty old backpack he should have thrown in someone’s dumpster years ago. Consequently, he’s the kind of kid who gets the crap beaten out of him on a regular basis. So one day, Matthew, seemingly out of the kindness of his heart, decides to help Michael out. Turn his life around. Teach him how to make his life as great as Matthew’s. Before long, Matthew is ...

Michael Speaks: The Legacy of Sarah Chambers (Volume 3)

Author: Center For Michael Teachings, Inc.

Number of pages: 132

"We are here with you tonight." With those few words in August 1973, Sarah Chambers, her husband Richard, and their good friends Alice and Dick started a journey that would take them far beyond anything they could possibly imagine. They would explore the unseen realm of the spiritual world with their teacher "Michael." Along with good friend Eugene Trout, they would become the creators of a new spiritual teaching - based in love - that is used to help people become more of who they really are. The group kept transcripts of their meetings and those transcripts were quietly copied and passed around to their friends, then copied and passed on to their friends. Volume 1 contains the transcripts themselves. Volume 2 contains the Charts, Cartoons, Drawings and Compilations by various members of the group, as well as background on the members of the group. Volume 3 contains additional transcripts from 1978-1985, and updates to Volume 1.

Michael Landy H2NY

Author: Michael Landy

Number of pages: 780

The mechanisms and aesthetics of waste disposal have been of fascination to Michael Landy since research on early projects Scrapheap Services (1995) and Break Down (2001). Throughout his career Landy's interest in mechanical destruction has manifested in many forms - from the shredder, to the (dis)assembly line, to self-destructing kinetic works. In Scaled-Down, the artist's new body of work, he turns to the methods of industrial waste compaction. The process of destruction becomes not one of obliteration, but of transmogrification and renewal, as sculptures and drawings are re-imagined and reshaped in unsparing, compressed sculptural form. -- from press release, https://www.thomasdanegallery.com/usr/documents/exhibitions/press_release_url/210/ml_press-release.pdf.
