So New In Town? opened today at Angels Gate, my last show as a desk-bound employee (I’m moving to a more curatorial and freelance role as of now, so I can work on more personal projects). I’m more than satisfied, the show is both a showcase for my efforts to turn around the [...] This interview conducted by Jessica Chong with UCLA sociologist Adrian Favell turned up in the PoNJA-GenKon listserv, and I thought it was worth passing along. If you’re interested in Japanese Art, I cannot recommend enough joining the listserv. Favell traveled to Japan as part of the Social Science Research Council’s Abe Fellowship Program and [...] As signs of the end times go, this is a bit of a tiny one. I love good food, sometimes I love bad food related business plans just as much. A while back I discovered Crispycones, which I’m glad I’ve never eaten, and I hope you never have, either. Last night, on our [...] Remember a while back, when the Prado culled Goya’s El Coloso (above) from their current Goya show, Goya in Times of War, claiming that it is not a Goya, but giving no explanation more satisfying that a “because we say so.” Well, they’ve finally proffered an explanation, via Manuela Mena, their senior Goya [...] Cross-posted from the AGCC Blog. View the majesty of Edith Abeyta’s Mythical Beast Sweet Shoppe, a multi-artist, unicorn themed, collaboration/installation that was initially installed in Edith’s studio earlier this year, and which gallery assistant Michele Hubacek helped me knock out quick, as Edith is on her way to Thailand, where I will be [...] Apparently that whole Frank Gehry research center hullabaloo that’s been a brewin’ at Art Center has come to a head and Koshalek will not have his contract renewed at the end of 2009. It’s definitely interesting times over at Art Center, A lot of recent graduates from both Art Center and other LA schools [...] Viva la France! Artists Raphael Uhrwiller and Mayumi Otero show wood and ink who’s the boss. Originally eyeballed over at BoingBoing. According to the comments there this kind of thing gets done all the time, too. How is it that I was totally ignorant of this awesomeness until right now? Technorati Tags: steamroller, [...] Flickr teases you with random recent uploads on their front page when you pop in. Sometimes they’re worth looking at. Seeing the above image in Wetsailor_2000′s stream, I initially thought I was looking at the documentation of some kind of performance, photographic or video art, but taking a look at his profile, it’s [...] So you can see some of my work on La Brea right now. Earlier this year I was asked to write curatorial text, contextualizing the Boneyards project, a partnership between LA-based streetwear company Stüssy and Japan based brand Neighborhood. Other than the concept that my writing would appear in a newspaper-like publication cataloging [...] George Carlin is dead at 71. I think the first tape I ever owned was a copy of his album What Am I Doing in New Jersey?, and a thick stack of Carlin records as the nucleus around which my collection of comedy vinyl formed. I don’t even know what to say. Too soon. [...] |
