That recent issue of _October_, along with the Frampton conference and
Princeton/Anthology Film Archives screenings certainly mark something
of a potential Frampton revival.
His film LEMON is currently "on display" in the new MOMA. Though it is
not exactly being exhibited under good conditions, and I presume, they
wouldn't be approved of by Frampton. LEMON is being video-projected on
a bare wall, in a loop. The wall is not even within the dark (but not
dark enough) Media & Video gallery space. Instead it is near one of
the gallery's entrances on the second floor, out in the open with
ambient light flooding in from the central atrium to yield a pitiably
faint image.
