I used to hate fire extinguisher graffiti but then I realized the purity of it, the ejaculatory, infantile, primeval joy of it, and now I like it even more. There’s an inevitability in Katsu’s MOCA piece, that his tag is speaking for a lot of other writers and graffiti lovers here. Someone get [...] In which Kobe Bryant uses his driving and ball handling skills to top a man stealing what’s probably the world’s most worthless, cheap giclee on canvas painting. Interpol would be proud. Watch out Kareem and Wilt, Kobe’s gonna be the next Laker to trade in his rings for silver screen [...] I know he promised to keep us out of Flickr, but he went ahead and joined anyways. The Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library has unleashed 634 images of Wilson-era photographic fury into Flickr’s Commons. Images range from crazy flagfish postcards like the one above to lots of WWI stuff, including this excellent horse & [...] Don’t you just love that teardrop/tennis racket case shape on the front wheel? It makes me think of a Claes Oldenberg soft sculpture, gives me that loose gravity, dreamy feeling. Olek was in LA recently for a show at the Pacific Design Center (where I met her or one of her minions wearing [...] You know you’ve lived in a port town for too long when you’re more into the container ships in an illustration than the charming, sexy ladies. I digress… Electric Pick is a tattoo magician, and he’s been sharing some of his travel journals on his blog, The Electric Plog. Based on his travels [...] I recently came across Gerry Judah’s work on BLDGBLOG, and it’s nuts, totally gonzo hot painting/installation/sculpture. These bleached and skeletal cityscape derived works arouse so much end time emotion in me, the “empty world/after man” feeling. I want to be near one to see if the dead time smell of abandoned buildings and [...] My visit to LACMA during Spring Break! Woo! Woo! 2011! was particularly fruitful. The stars aligned and I kept hitting high notes over and over again. Anyways… The piece above is John Outterbridge’s John Ivery’s Truck: Hauling Away the Traps and Saving the Yams. If my memory serves, it may be one of [...] And that’s just the approach to the conclusion of the interview. I think this is actually one of his more focused interviews/rants, and his general notions are more clear/less distracted here than anywhere else I can think of. There’s a whole performance after the interview… Jonathan Messe is a spellcaster, a contemporary art conjurer [...] Edith’s installation, Transversal Garment Manifestation No. 1 at Windward School was on view for a fruit fly’s lifespan. Like her ongoing installation, Long Beach Garment Manifestation at The Collaborative, it was amazing. I was lucky enough to attend the opening while I was in El Lay, here’s a short Flickr tour of an [...] Just when I thought I had exhausted the total supply of severed heads in LA museums, LACMA shines through. I was double lucky (or bi-winning, as we say these days) on this find, as I arrived at LACMA just after they rotated the Raymond and Frances Bushell Collection of netsuke in the Japanese [...] |
