I’ve been highlighting single images from The Commons, but all three of the warships below seemed to belong together. One was a New York-class battleship, another was built in New York and the third visited New York, so that’s part of the commonality here. All of the photos in this collection are from the [...] I just got wind of some new things that might be of interest in LA for Saturday night. Christine Nguyen @ Michael Kohn Gallery (image above). Whenever Christine has a show, I’ll be right here to tell you that you must go and see it. Her work just keeps getting better and better. [...] I still can’t seem to come up with a witty post title, so I’ll just avoid pun based post titles on this one. I’m just not doing my job, I guess. Of course, there’s follow-up articles appearing on yesterday’s federal raid on various Southern California art institutions. I was at the Getty last night [...] Still loving The Commons, but now dipping into the black and white territory of News in the 1910s, a collection of images from the Bain News Service. What can I say about the above that the image doesn’t say itself. I was tempted to post this image of Pancho Villa and his staff, [...] Today at 7:30 AM the feds raided LACMA, the Pacific Asia Museum and the Bowers Museum in Los Angeles, as well as the Mingei International Museum in San Diego and the Silk Roads Gallery on LA Brea, all apparently related to an investigation of alleged art smuggler Robert Olson and the owner of Silk [...] I think tomorrow I’ll switch to posting black and white images from the turn of the 20th century for a bit. The Commons is just too good. As a die-hard Californian, I love seeing this state tamed by the powers of industry. Man is an animal, and he is at his most magnificent [...] Last night, a snowstorm closed the I-5, forcing us to take the 58 to detour through Bakersfield and over to the 14 to get home on time. The detour was great, because we got to drive through a snowstorm near Tehachapi, the first snow I’ve been in contact with since I was about [...] There’s a thing or two to see in LA over the next few days.. Thursday, January 24 Lothar Schmitz, an artist whose work I installed years and years ago (a two person show with Christel Dillbohner at El Camino College – wonderful experience), is opening his show, Tamper, at 5PM, with an artist talk. [...] Still on the road, pimping The Commons, keeping it brief. This photo speaks for itself. At Top: Woman putting on her lipstick in a park with Union Station behind her, Washington, D.C. Photographer: Unknown, ca. 1943 Technorati Tags: lipstick, Washington D.C., D.C., woman, Library of Congress, Union Station, 1943, The Commons, Flickr, photography, [...] Still in SF, keeping it brief. Still pimping the The Commons over at Flickr. Americans, working in hot sun in what barely even looks like soil, at the Tule Lake Internment Camp, 1942 or 43. Tule Lake was one of ten concentration camps operated by United States during World War II. Tule Lake [...] |
