Either a bit quiet this weekend, or I’m too busy to know where it’s going down. Saturday night has some goings on going on, though. Saturday, 8-16-08 Arnoldo Vargas, Welcome Wimington @ Monte Vista (image at top). There are a ton of artists in San Pedro, but one town over in Wilmington, there’s [...] Just in, via Tyler Green’s Modern Art Notes. The Utah Division of Oil, Gas & Mining has returned Pearl Montana Exploration’s permit to drill near Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty, due to Pearl submitting “inadequate” information in their proposal. Here’s the Friends of the Great Salt Lake’s post on the situation. Note – this is [...] So much of yesterday was spend building the primary frame for the cob that will hold the kernels. Made more complicated by the presence of dozens of badly made brackets (seen above). The moron who made the brackets according to this Eric’s diagram, punched the holes and then bent the whole steel sheet [...] I was yammering about spokes the other day, without showing what they were. That’s Eric with a cast resin spoke. It’s cast in clear resin and hollow for light weight, and it’s going to be painted black in the final piece. There are sixteen of these, I think. Technorati Tags: Eric Johnson, art, [...] Japan’s unnatural/natural terapod breakwaters are lovely markers of man’s role as planet manager, and Japan’s various novel concrete intrusions into the fine art of water management through concrete in general are strange, sometimes frightening and always slightly medieval to me. Pink Tentacle has a great sampling of images of these giant concrete beauties. [...] Do yourself and Isaac’s gold-chain clad spirit favour and see Wattstax. He’s with Xenu now, but we still love him. Sometimes museums have these enigma objects that seem totally unrelated to anything. Objects that are seem somehow out of place in the collection. They’re always awesome, evidence of an artist stepping outside of tradition, experimenting and undertaking aesthetic risk. Lee Bontecou’s untitled (fish) is one of those objects, a vacuum molded plastic sculpture [...] Friday, August 8 88Boadrum @ The La Brea Tar Pits. The Boredoms have assembled 88 drummers to perform for 88 minutes at exactly 8:08 tonight. You need a ticket, although they’re free. Tickets may be available at the door. Strange World? Stranger: Man @ Alvin Miles’ Helix Gallery. Group show featuring works by [...] We’ve finished making kernels, and now we’re into the metalshop part of the project. We’re actually making hardware for two pieces, the metal armature that will support Maize, and a variety of bits that are part of a large “spoke” piece who’s name I do not know. I hadn’t worked on the spoke [...] This section of Angelo Testa’s IBM Disks fabric that ‘s on display at LACMA is possibly the coolest thing in the museum, or at least the most neat-o. It was produced from 1952-1956, and someone should totally re-print this today. I don’t know anything about Testa, but The Textile Blog has a post [...] |
