moving ideas space
I liked the idea of the words floating in space and the space behind it moving all the time, ever changing.
wall ideas space
The idea of, say, the compressed space between the floor and the object hanging over it and then the long space between the object and the ceiling was a kind of interesting idea for me - the idea of compressing and expanding. That was an idea that I worked with, which you could only do sculpturally. You can't really do with a painting on the wall.
years space light
reaking up the space and using the space, using the length of the space, the height of it, whatever, the light, all of those things. It's something that you have to kind of slowly recognize in your work and develop over years of making work.
space light giving
If somebody gives me a chance to do something, I am going to use that space, that time, that light, that whatever it is and try and work with it.
space darkness important
The space between things is important to me. The projections, that darkness between the words or the images is very important.
art space guy
I'm getting more and more into Chinese art and Japanese, some of those scroll paintings are amazing. You follow the change of the seasons. It's really something. These guys were great masters and of course the use of space.
breathing space littles
I like the work hanging free in the frame. I don't like too much frame around it but I like a little breathing space around the piece.
almost assumption care clear cuts falling health immediate liability likely ongoing possible savings
These savings are a clear positive, but retiree liability cuts are likely to see some almost immediate offsets, from ongoing health care inflation, possible Delphi liability assumption and falling long-term rates.
contract deal likely motions posing risk starting union
Another deal with Delphi is likely forthcoming, but probably not before Mar. 30, posing risk of Delphi motions (to nullify contracts) and starting the union contract cancellation process.
auto comments general geneva necessary next process rush sale sell suggest today
Comments today at the Geneva auto show that General Motors is in no rush to sell GMAC, and that a sale is not necessary before next year, suggest the sale process has stalled.
challenges change given likely longer management move north occur plan prospects require severe term time turnaround
We think such a move would not occur if prospects for traction on the turnaround plan were tighter. The management change comes at an inopportune time given the challenges ... and severe stresses on the North American business, some of which will likely require longer term attention.
bank chapter concern equity factors filing imminent line primary
We think one of the primary factors weighing on the company's equity has been concern about the Chapter 11 filing. We think the new bank line makes an imminent filing very unlikely.
buyer doubt envision front gets gm harder march north risk sale second sometime strike tend wire
We doubt a buyer gets in front of risk that a strike cripples GM North America. UAW negotiations tend to go down to the wire -- now March 31 -- so a GMAC sale is harder to envision before sometime in the second quarter.
cars cost driver higher improvement key north performance possibly
We think better cost performance was a key driver of the improvement in North American and possibly higher profitability on cars than we had anticipated.
