Flashback to 2006. When John O’Brien asked me to organize a show for The Brewery Project. It was awesome, because I usually don’t get to participate actively in the shows that I put together. What came about was Contemplating Apocalypse, an examination of apocalyptic themes by nine artists. If you’ve been reading this [...] Again, Nicholas delivers. I just received an E-mail with a link to a clip of Andrzej Żuławski’s The Silver Globe. A little Internet research later, and I have to see more of this film. There is a complete film of this project, but it was cribbed together in the 1980′s using footage shot [...] For those who’ve got the hunger for Moebius after that little L’Incal clip, here’s a section of the Moebius inspired and character-designed full length feature, Les Maîtres du temps (Time Masters). It was directed by Rene Laloux who also did the amazing Light Years and Fantastic Planet, two VHS tapes that you’d have [...] Much of what comes to the public sphere in terms of narrative is radically, spectacularly boring. As someone who’s currently reading Michael Moorecock’s Cornelius Quartet and whom regularly returns to the Illuminatus Trilogy for a dose of uncurtained reality, I’m perpetually hungry for blow-your-mind narratives. I’m of the mind that narrative can be transformative, [...] So I was walking by the television and I saw the tube-bound version of the commercial that follows the talking about God’s Love from Interstate Batteries and I notice that in the “gritty street scene”, prior to the expanding hearstream of God’s Love, there’s this sort of out of place OBEY sticker to [...] Get to MOCA (the Geffen) for George Baker’s talk on Sunday. He’s turning his Q&A into an open forum on MOCA’s crisis. Talk starts at 3, and is free with admission. Lots of folks are likely to turn out, so arrive early. Technorati Tags: MOCA, George Baker No “Do The Weekend” this week, because I’m just pimping our show at Angels Gate, Forming. Forming is an exhibition of seven sculptors who I think are doing really solid work right now. The show features Michael Dee, McLean Fahnestock, Eric Johnson, Kiel Johnson, Nancy Kyes, Margaret Pezalla and Macha Suzuki. Show opens [...] Cross-Posted from the AGCC blog, Up at the Gate. Seen yesterday in Eric Johnson’s studio, a trio of My Little Pony resin casts. Also seen, the artist hard at work on the elements for his contribution to Forming. Technorati Tags: Forming, Angels Gate Cultural Center, art, artist, sculpture, polyester resin, contemporary art, [...] Remember back in the pre-Obama era, when a McCain aide discovered the previously unknown part of America now referred to as “Real Virginia”? Well, I was eating a disturbingly good sandwich today when my roommate Phill discovered what is apparently “Fake Virginia”, a.k.a. “Professor Cline’s Dinosaur Kingdom“. In “Fake Virginia” dinosaurs fought in [...] How can the aesthetics of the sentence below be denied? At the Memorial Shooting Center in Houston, a popular gun store and firing range that shares a building with a church, managers said they sold out their stock of assault weapons a day after the election and are now adding orders, at more than [...] |
