Sandra Backlund,











Jonathan Goldstein,

(I think I'd be happy to work anywhere, doing anything, for the CBC)

Ira Glass,


I am so sick of school. I just want to have a paying job that is interesting and makes me happy.

I love the wooden supports in the work of artist/sculptor Kristen Morgin.
She works primarily in unfired clay. Images from artnet.com

tables?

Stool?


The workshop has more than enough stools to display the boxes, with each on its own stool.

But they are quite short... about knee height.



Table?


In this case the 2 objects that relate are displayed on the same table.

But I would have to make the tables... shouldn't be too bad, only six of them.

my six (x two)

I figured I should let you in on the 6 places-- they are pretty much decided now. Finally.

fragments

“One of the issues I focus on is the boundary we create within ourselves by categorizing the world,” (Kumi) Yamashita says. “Through my work, I wish to remind ourselves of how we preconceive what is around and inside us. Knowledge, ideas, and values are too often accepted without questioning. Can we find a way to evaporate ourselves from a pond and condensate over an ocean? Can we see a common thread that connects all things?” -from the website of the New Mexico History Museum

kiss

Tino Sehgal. ‘Kiss.’ 2002
(photos from this article on the current Sehgal exhibition at the Guggenheim.)

"...I felt stirred up, but light and refreshed, the way I sometimes — but not that often — do when I feel that I’ve met art in some very bare-bones way. It really is about life. It really is about communication. It really does have no answers. And it really is addictive." - H. Cotter for The New York Times, published Jan 31st, 2010

Also on at the Guggenheim right now is Anish Kapoor's 'Memory'. It also looks gorgeous.

secret base

from this crazy blog: pinktentacle.com

"Appearing in ... of Shōnen Magazine is a schematic illustration by Takayoshi Mizuki entitled “Secret Pyramid Base,” which shows Dr. Who’s secret base inside one of the Giza pyramids in Egypt. The pyramid is equipped with advanced military hardware, including 3D radar, jet launchers, recoilless guns, flamethrowers, rocket launchers, and military tanks that burrow underground. Dr. Who monitors all the action from a wall of TV screens in his room at the center of the pyramid. The base is powered by a nuclear reactor in the basement and surrounded by giant ant-lion sand traps. Situated nearby is a giant nuclear-powered Sphinx Tank. King Kong battles a variation of this weaponized Sphinx in an episode of “The King Kong Show.” " -edo (of pinktentacle.com)
