I Eat With Gusto! Damn! You Bet!

Man, oh man!  I love Slavko’s gizzards!  There is nothing like a perfectly pressure fried gizzard.  Today was our big hang day for at Angels Gate, so we got a pile of fried chicken and potatoes from Slavko’s to keep the fires burning.  We were breaking in a new intern today, so we [...]

Too Busy For Love Installation Shots

I’m busily getting a show ready at Angels Gate, Too Busy For Love, and I’m Too Busy to Post about non-AGCC stuff, so I’m cross-posting these images, since I like them so much, especially the blue on red image with Matthew working on his knees.   Show opens Sunday at 2PM -I’m really, really happy [...]

To Do List

You know the drill…

Friday, February 15

Endangered Species @ Santa Monica College’s Peter and Susan Barrett Art Gallery.  I’m pointing you in the direction of this group show as it contains the excellent work of Moira Hahn, a painter who’s work (Food Fight, detail, at top) I got the privilege to hang [...]

Mat Gleason on BCAM

I’m avoiding BCAM until I feel like thinking about it, but I’ll take Coagula editor Mat Gleason’s recent post on BCAM as a semi-confirmation of my suppositions about the worst case scenario regarding the collection on display.  Knowing what I know about Broad’s collection, how New York/Blue Chip centric it is, I figure it’s [...]

Last Day to Comment on the Impact of Oil Exploration near Spiral Jetty!

Thanks for the reminder, Tyler. If you haven’t gotten off your ass and had your say on the issue, go forth and do it. When you don’t vote, when you don’t speak up, you don’t get to complain.

All you need to know, including who to E-mail or call and what time today [...]

In Which I Hop On the Dogpile

Both C-Monster and Tyler Green are right. The LA Times Arts and Culture web page is cocked up. Hey Mr. Times, how hard would it be to make the page look better than it does right now? Currently it resembles little more than a Google search for your recent articles. Big fun there. If [...]

The Prince

I love Korean food, but I don’t understand it.  I didn’t eat any Korean food until I was an adult – I figured it was just BBQ, odd sushi and delicious, hot kimchi. Now I know different, though.  Recently I came to understand that there is a spiritual intersection between heavy drinking and pork [...]

Addressing the Lack of Food on This Site

There just hasn’t been enough food porn on this site lately.  I’m sorry.  I just haven’t invested the time to either process the photos of what I’m eating, or to write about it.  I know, you dear reader, are sad.  I’m sad too – it’s winter and I’m still waiting to see if [...]

$163.2 Million in Paintings Stolen in Zurich

From the AP: Cezanne, Degas, van Gogh and Monet stolen by three gunmen at the E.G. Buehrle Collection in Zurich.

Is one of the many, many downsides of an overheated art market and the over-valuation of works by dead art masters that you’ve got to up your museum security and defenses to deal with [...]

Francisco Goya’s Disasters of War at BAMPFA
More than Just an Excuse to Post A Severed Head

If the Getty Research Institute gallery is the best small, academic space I know of, the Theater Gallery Berkeley Art Museum comes in a close second.  Maybe it’s just luck, but whenever I’m up in the Bay Area there seems to be something on display, in what is basically a hallway (midway down the [...]
