It is fitting and appropriate that I just read a half dozen obituaries, published in a half dozen cities, about Arthur C. Clarke, contributor to the development of the communications satellite, promoter of the space elevator concept and science fiction writer. It was the vision of Clarke and his fellows that forms one of the [...] Just caught this last night, and got myself a copy. The California Video catalog, which normally sells for $39.95, is on sale at Amazon for only $25.05, when you include the 5% pre-order discount. The only downside is that you’ve gotta wait for them to get it in stock. But you’re going in saving [...] Edith Abeyta, Michele Hubacek, Michael Lewis Miller and I are kicking off a new project this Sunday. An idea that has festered, mutated and grown in Michael’s head for some time, the Portable Potluck Project is a monthly potluck-as-performance that we hope will spawn many more sister potlucks, for eventual simultaneous global potlucktacular action. [...] I have been asked to jury this year’s Spirit of the Horse exhibition, an equine themed, juried exhibition at the Palos Verdes Art Center, a benefit for the Portuguese Bend Pony Club (note – funky website, but a ton of info about their parent organization, the United States Pony Clubs, can be found [...] So we bought a box of marshmallow gummi hamburgers at Smart & Final for my birthday, and they are, by far the most disturbing item I’ve ever had in my mouth. It’s like eating a slice of citrus flavoured tire (the three layer gummi portion) sandwiched between two cheap, stale marshmallows. It’s both [...] Busy Bee here, too busy to break the weekend down. California Video is on view as of this weekend (I’m checking it out at the press preview today). Also on view at the Getty is Lessons from Bernard Rudofsky, over at the GRI. the everyone’s talking about the Kara Walker show, My Complement, [...] Paula Deen is my kitchen MILF, and I have no choice but to love her. And I love burgers. I’ve eaten burgers all across this country, I’ve planned trips around the schedules of lonely road burger joints, and I’ve spent the past 2-3 years perfecting the hamburger in my home kitchen. I could [...] Looks like this week I’ll be typing a fair bit about the Getty, especially since we’re right at the cusp of the opening of California Video. This one’s news to me. In December Vicki Porter, Getty Trust Web Manager for Editorial and Audience Development, set up a wordpress blog for the Getty, A Different [...] Okay, now they’re pandering to me. I suspect that the Getty’s total purpose for the acquisition of Paul Gauguin’s Artii Matamoe (The Royal End), pictured above is 100% motivated by their knowledge that I will write a post about it, given its severed head-ness. Either that or it has nothing to do with [...] On my brief visit to LACMA the other day, I was jaw dropped and kicked in the cojones by the newly installed Robert Gore Rifkind Gallery for German Expressionism in the Ahmanson building. All of these images come from this important gathering of works, with the exception of the sculpture at bottom which hovers [...] |
