So today has been the day of the web’s big SOPA/PIPA blackout protest. I do not black out erasing.org. The extent of my participation is a lunch-break impulse to post the above picture of Ellsworth Kelly’s 2010 relief “Black Curve Diagonal” on erasing.tumblr.com. An egregious co-opting and misuse of art on my part, but to me somehow it looks correct for the occasion. And now I am cross-posting it here. Forgive me, Ellsworth Kelly, wherever you are.
Many months

I’m Scott David Herman, I’m an American living in Canada, and I’ve been running erasing.org since 1999.
The expatriate life is very glamorous. I live and work on the fifth floor of a mid-rise glass-and-concrete ant farm situated in the abandoned ruins of downtown Hamilton, that legendary city many call the most beautiful smoke-spewing slag heap in all of Southern Ontario.
I enjoy staring into open books, mentally rotating Shakespeare’s skeleton, stacking objects in my quote-unquote office, and chopping at the Parnassian permafrost in the company of my wife Laura.
