this review in the examiner is a bit better than the posts take:
Visit wearing pink pajamas, combat boots and your grandmother's bra. (Only men should wear the bra. Women might try their great-uncle's underpants.)

"Diogenes at the Theatre"
This was a painting i did a long time ago. It is one of my first attempts at Diognese. It was about 9 feet tall, so the figure is larger than life. I've been intrigued this week by the elements in my work that i've held on to and those that i've abandoned.... and those things i'm finding again.'

i got an acceptance letter!
Artists tend to receive way more rejection letters than acceptance letters, so i'm always excited when my proposals go over well.
My submission to the Making an Entrance public art project got accepted. I proposed a design focusing on the idea that each door was a portal or right of passgage for each step in our lives. Every door we pass through changes us, and moves us forward.
The next step is for a sponsor to choose my door, so that i will actually be chosen to bring the design to fruition. we'll see how it goes.

this is odd to me
apparently one of the prop pieces i worked on for the shakespeare theatre was taken from my old website and used on a test for students in chicago.
The piece was a globe for the Merchant of Venice under the "scene design" section.
ha!

lightbulbs
I was asked why i use lightbulbs.
I began to use lightbulb imagery over 10 years ago when i was painting a depiction of Diogenes. ( here's a story) I had him using an old latern, but then thought to use more comtemporary means of lighting. Thus light bulbs.
After doing this painting called "Whats next Prometheus?" i began to draw a connection between the gift of Fire, and the gift of consciousness. I thought that electricity was a better concept for our synaptical responses and wanted to use lightbulbs, wiring, outlets and plugs as metaphors for this.
i resumed doing sculpture in 2002 and did this piece;
now, my work has no references to the human figure at all. much more minimalist in approach, but i am conceiving my pieces more as a body of work, a series, that i had previously.

an odd take on exhibits
check this out
"Caravaggio: una mostra impossibile!" does not feature the actual paintings of the artist, known for his realistic and dramatic treatment of religious themes - and his rebellious, bad-boy lifestyle.
Instead, high-resolution digital photography has been used to create true-to-scale reproductions that are then backlit to mimic the artist's famous interplay between dark and light, known as "chiaroscuro."
while i think this is a great idea, i have a hard time with calling this an art exhibit....
I say great idea because of the powerful tool for exposure to art not normally seen, but it isn't the art thats been seen. Its sad to me how used to digital imagery we are getting.

blake spells out dada for us
here is the gopnik review of the DADA show at the NGA
here's a quote from Blake
The National Gallery of Art is launching one of the most impressive, significant exhibitions in its history.
from Marcel Janco ,one of the originators of Dada
We had lost confidence in our culture. Everything had to be demolished. We would begin again after the "tabula rasa". At the Cabaret Voltaire we began by shocking common sense, public opinion, education, institutions, museums, good taste, in short, the whole prevailing order.
i'm going to try to go with a few fellow artists next week. i'm sure i'll be more enthusiastic about it than i was the cezanne show.
oh.. here's the spelling
also, this piece from the show makes you think:

cezanne and this week
I saw the cezanne show this week.
It was a good show, but not completely inspiring. not inspiring enough to write about anyway....
So this week. I did my group art project. this time at Fado's in Chinatown. Yeah.. i miss the argonaut.... so its back there next time.
here is one from the 8 or so we did:
I'm also working on my series of concrete and glass castings on wood.
By the end of next week i'll probably have 50 pieces. maybe 60.
i'm also playing with sgrafitto into concrete.... i'll post some pictures of that soon.

comments but not a review of chawky and cupidity
I went to the Chawky Frenn Opening at Fraser Gallery and the Cupidity show at Neptune Gallery
Chawky's shows are always almost too amazing for me to comprehend. His talents as a painter and conceptualist are outstanding. His imagery is profound and sometimes haunting. This is the largest show of his that i've seen.
Its quite worth a visit. I feel that Chawky's work is the type of work that continues to give to its viewers, and in fact requires much time to sink in. And apparently the Fraser gallery validates parking in the garage underneath, so there's that.
Cupidity is quite the opposite of chawky's work. Still talented and worth the trip. Here, the talent lies more in the creativity and originality. it is more capricious than the weight of Chawky's subject matter. Pairing artists and writers to react to "I saw you" type ads, Cupity offers very witty pieces in a number different styles.
A print by Kim Bentley stood out for its stark colors and clarity. Also works by Mike Janus, Kirk Waldrof, Matt Sesow , and Scott Brooks stood out to me. Curator and gallery owner Elyse Harrison did a bang up job on this show.
here is a short but real review

BORF
Its amazing what interest this guy drums up. I'm much more fascinated by the lines people draw when talking about Borf, than by his art.
Many are strong in their convictions of guerilla art. many are staunchly oppossed. It brings out what seems to me way off topic arguments, ie.. his race, his age, etc...
crazy.
What do you think of Borf?
