[Frameworks] Jud Yalkut RIP

[David Baker]

I would go a little further...
like the Beatles  played backwards
or Yoko Ono's "Grapefruit"
Jud Yalkut's work  made total sense
and meant a whole lot to me as an artist.

To say that he was consort
to Yayoi Kusama and Nam June Paik
speaks as loudly as anything
to the level he elaborated.

Yalkut made palpable
an electric wonderland of amazements,
a peephole into the marvelous potentialities
of a time and place
long ago lost.

How is it possible
on an "Experimental Film Discussion List"
that so little is said in salute
when someone of this singular magnitude
of achievement passes into the cosmic ether
of eternity?

I was knocked out by everything I saw him do.

-DB
