What can I say? I don’t think I ever had any real appreciation for action painting before Friday afternoon. Ushio Shinohara performed/executed his piece, Boxing Painting, at the Getty Center as part of (Rajikaru!) Experimentations in Japanese Art, 1950–1975, a series of programs piggybacking on/associated with Art, Anti-Art, Non-Art at the Getty Research [...] I went to the Getty yesterday to see Ushio Shinohara perform his Boxing Paining piece (tons of photos of that coming later), and I was on the phone with someone from the Getty and she told me that Yoko Ono had put up a Wish Tree. I was on my way to leave the [...] above – My original photo of Yoko Ono’s Telephone Piece, as seen at the Berkeley Art Museum. above – Steve Rhodes’ photo of my photo as seen in Breakthrough: An Amateur Photography Revolution at the San Francisco Fine Arts Commission Gallery.

I was cruising the internet at lunch today, visited The Aesthetic, and lo and behold, I’m reminded about an artist who’s work has obsessed me for so long that it’s had slipped from obsession to memory. I’m going to just reprint the whole [...] Presuming that someone other than my oh-so-proud Jewish mother reads this thing. Edith Abeyta has gotten herself onto a plane and flown away for a three month residency in the Netherlands, where she, working with her husband Bob Tower, will be realizing her Something’s Brewing project. She’s got a brand new website at Edithabeyta.net, and [...] |
