Weekending

I’m in the middle of finals at school. I’m busy. But there’s stuff going on, cause the world doesn’t stop for me.

Saturday, May 31

We Want a New Object @ Chinatown. CalArts MFA students have taken over various Chinatown galleries, for an off-site MFA exhibition. Most of the artist featured in the [...]

Your Moment of Apocalypse – The President’s Chest Bump

It’s official, Idiocracy (in its way, possibly the most important movie ever made, I shit you not) is on it’s way. I have a lot of lefty friends who are all up on the fascist aspects of our current government and political system. But they’re way, way off. We’ve headed down a darker [...]

Mariko Mori Fan Art

I’m working on a brief presentation on postwar Japanese performance art and I was looking for Mariko Mori (in the context of the use of costume by post-performance artists) and I found the above fan art by Ashley, a.k.a. Ashli-chan, in a Google image search. Why is it that I’m always running into [...]

Tenmyouya Hisashi

This post was just supposed to be about the $600,000 sale of the above Gundam based painting (which I found out about via Kotaku), RX-78-2 Kabuki-mono 2005 version, surely an art milestone of one sort or another, but it’s really about the work of artist Tenmyouya Hisashi in general. Sometimes Google is kind [...]

Maize: In the Studio with Eric Johnson, Volume IV

I posted the images from last week’s kernel-making session at Eric’s studio days ago, but I hadn’t yet found time to write about the session, and I had better hop to it, as I’m probably going to be back in the saddle tomorrow spinning kernels and pouring resin. Last week was a big pour, [...]

More Fluids Medium Format Photos from Slobodan

Above is one of the last eight photos to roll in and get scanned. Some of them were shot with a Holga, as well as with a Rolleiflex. Maybe more are coming and maybe not. Check them out at the AGCC blog, or in the Fluids Flickr set.

When Hitler Was The Funniest Thing You Saw All Week

Just watch it. Watch it or I’ll have you sent to the Eastern Front. Seen at Boing Boing.

Getty Foodblogging

I was at the Getty this morning for the annual Getty Multicultural Internship Program Discussion Leader Breakfast, so it was an opportunity to eat and take pictures of Getty food. At this point everyone at the Getty is used to me taking pictures of the food. I think even some of the food service [...]

Chris Knight Rips Matthew Barney a New One

In the LA Times, of course. May be painful reading for the die hard Barney fans in the house (myself included). It’s worth noting that spectators were injured, which gave me a warm SRL-ish feeling in my black heart.

Before I Get to More In The Studio With Eric Johnson Action, A Moment of Man Cave Photo Joy

A Classic Ford in red, red, red! and a grey army of shop tools. This is like the cave from Ali Baba and the 40 Theives to me, a cornucopia of treasures. I just love the gray/red thing going on here in this photo. Spent another Saturday working with Eric on Maize, breakdown [...]
