Hi Bobby, I had some classes with you in Bishop High School. Long time ago…I also do artwork;just for fun and share with friends. I live in Orlando,Fl. now,but have many fond memories of the natural beauty of Bishop…Mammoth (where I learned to ski).I have several photos of Mt. Tom. My daughter,Rhonda, was born there in 1956.Look me up in facebook.

The ongoing task of resuscitating the work of California conceptualists of the 70s is vitally important. Glad to see this Joseph.

Lovely piece. Two Kinmont works that engaged viewer involvement were featured in a four-man SFMOMA show (with John C. Fernie, Tony May, Jim Melchert) as part of the “Arts of San Francisco 1971″ series.

He constructed two rooms, each with a ceiling, a single door, a light fixture, and centrally placed inside:

Sit on the Floor, 1971; Wood school desk without legs and with “Sit on the Floor” engraved on the lid. The desk is filled with sagebrush and sits on the floor.

Cherrywood Chair, 1971; Straight-back cherrywood chair with hearts hand-carved onto the seat (to leave the impression of hearts on your sweetheart’s bottom). A placard on the door says: “Come in—lock the door, undress, and sit down.”
