Sometimes I think 80% of my profession boils down to painting white walls whiter. It’s the most regular and unchanging aspect of gallery work, the quietest time, and somehow always seems like a change of season to me, when everything is potential and new. It hadn’t occurred to me that on some level, [...] One of the awesome-ist things I’ve eaten on this trip was the above, fried quail (or quail-looking, anyways) eggs, served in a foam box and eaten with a skewer. They were fried just past over easy, in a big, circular takoyaki pan. Delicious, with a little spice, but nothing other than the pure [...] I cannot explain how much fell into place when Pongsak said that Jessada had arrive with the panels for my work. I’m familiar with Thai construction, it’s precise, but I’ve seen buildings made out of little more than compacted sand here. I’ve seen wood that’s more like a “foamed wood pulp and glue [...] One of the most awesome things not in the exhibition at Bhurapa – Betsy Lohrer Hall’s instruction scroll for The Nearness of You. More beautiful than most folks’ actual art. Damn, I love diagrams. Technorati Tags: Betsy Lohrer Hall, scroll, diagram, instructions, The Nearness of You, Chonburi International Art [...] So we’re in our second day of installing the Chonburi International Exhibition here at the Eastern Center for Art and Culture at Burapha University in Bang Saen. Burapha is a big school in what’s basically a beach town. I don’t know how big it is, maybe a little smaller than LMU in Los [...] Pongsak, Ian, Edith and Jessada pick me up at the airport. This is the kind of photo you take when it’s the middle of the night and you don’t know where you are. I’ve pretty much hit the ground running. Eating, sleeping, installing art, being with Thai friends, seeing everything, jaw-dropping at bikes, [...] Note: I’m writing this offline, and some of my posts from Thailand will no doubt be wackily out of order as I screw around with the time zones on my computer. Oh, and Flickr is working but being slow, so no matter how fast I can process, there seems to be a bottleneck [...] 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 [...] The last of my vehicular Thai photos. I fell in love with the various forms of human and machine powered bike-like conveyances that I saw in Thailand. I can’t wait to go back and photograph more. If the can-do spirit of the Thai people is manifested anywhere in their culture, it speaks most to [...] All my Thailand photos are in the Thailand 2007 Flickr Set. Here are some of the regular cars and trucks I saw around Thailand. I took tons and tons of these, but I was shooting through windshields a lot, and out of a dozen, sometimes only one would be good. I cannot emphasize enough [...] |
