Winter in 2008, Colorado

My beloved Hunter Corsa, I'll never have such a bike. Curse all the thieves

the moon

this is an image i'll probably never print. i love the moon and the color of the sky, it reminds me of the painting i saw once in chicago, it was an all blue pallet except for the tiny moon in the top, middle of the page. it looked exactly like this, but i hate the parking lot. HATE THE PARKING LOT!!!!

also at the derby, i don't know what this guy has in this mouth, a hot dog? i chose this because the silhouettes remind me of kara walker, although, the subject matter is more in jest.

roller derby

this is my first visit to the roller derby. it was wild. i got yelled at by a deaf man, and kneed in the back by a blond, middle-aged, drunk mom. so even if you are not in the derby, watch out, you might be offended, but i think that it was an enjoyable offense, all in all. i wish i still had my roller skates.:(

i think she is just beautiful...

i chose this photo of louise bourgeois because i think that she is a wonderful example of creative spirit wrought from a turbulent childhood, and uses art as a kind of therapeutic release. these photos, along with journal writings and other items from her personal collection are(or were) on display at the guggenheim

babette mangolte, whitney biennial 2010

this is how to look. this "is a multi-media installation revisiting a photo installation at P.S. One in New York City in 1978, a film made of the de-installation of the same show, a reworking of the material in 1994-1995 that envisions the possibility of violence and destruction of the photographs exposed, the script of a non existent sound track, and a table top presentation of the actual tools used to ink the backing of the photo cards exposed on the table with two decks of photo cards.

This installation mirrors the setting of the 1978 installation, replacing the large wall of photos by a film that evokes an implied destruction. The table now shows in a more contained display the tools used in 1978 to make the backing of the deck of cards but still allowed for a reduced possibility of direct manipulation of the photo cards by the visitor." i thought it was very interesting. i chose this installation because i'm interested in installation and because i think the way that he display's his MANY photo's is unique and inviting. i've been contemplating how to display my photo's and while i think his method is something i should consider more...

reflections

here is a fun one. this is an inkjet print from '98 by one richard hamilton. if you recall in art history he was a forerunner of the pop movement of the 60's working in experimental printing techniques, he's still alive at 87 and still experimenting, really neat. this is a digital print and i love the composition as well as the soft colors that "mirror" if you will the soft body. he is exhibited at the met also, it's a solo retrospective from 1970-2005
