How to Achieve Temporary Relief from the Uncertainties of Modern Thought Jennifer Nagle Myers (punkypip.com) Hugo & Poppy The Felt Book is a new collaborative publication by the Institute for New Feeling (IfNf). The book is a collection of home remedies created by 40+ invited artists, inspired by the structure of Fluxus scores, YouTube tutorials and eHow articles. The works submitted are as simple as a single sentence, while others include images, video, and web-based interactions. Each invited artist was asked to take on the IfNf mission statement: to explore "new ways of feeling, and ways of feeling new." InstituteForNewFeeling.com/feltbook

About: How to Achieve Temporary Relief from the Uncertainties of Modern Thought, 2014 is my meditation and exercise for a way to experience a new feeling. Commissioned by the Institute for New Feeling, a group of artists that I admire and adore, (Scott Andrew, Agnes Bolt, Nina Sarnelle), made it all the more enjoyable. If you want to try this at home but don't have a dog, just watch this and howl alongside us. It feels so good!
