Similar to Lucy in our genius comic, there’s plenty of work going on in an artist’s studio (more so in the artist’s mind). With Daily Serving helping me with my daily art nutrition intake; the Quit Marginalizing Yourself post was worth the added mental exploration. The reflection is part of a week-long series of posts focused on the notion of failure and how it’s depicted in the arts. Stereotypical perceptions of artists and the ways in which they marginalize themselves was the crux of Van Winckle’s write-up. She asserts one…

Independent scholarship has been difficult. Navigating through art history, criticism, and journalism without teachers to reign in all these ideas, fellow peers to test ideas, an editor reminding me of a deadline, and/or a project or paper due at the end of a few weeks makes for a challenging approach at scholarly research and constant engagement. Then again, this is MY forum and virtual space. Another issue that has come up for me – creating context. It’s only me writing and…

GALLERY : ARTWORK (A) Museum : Canonical Art (B) Biennale : Artists (C) Art school : Art Students (D) Hot Dog Stand : Ideas (E) Who gives : a sh*t? Art is to…ah, nevermind. Analogies probably should stay in the deep recesses of the mind never to be dug up again but I couldn’t resist. Did you know that the revised GRE General Test will no longer have antonyms or analogies? Art and hot dogs? Yes. There’s a point.…

On good days, I look at art. On bad days, I look at art. It’s safe to assume, I look at art (all the time). That said, I am one of those individuals that actually notices art in office buildings. For goodness sake, there’s a reason why it’s there! Might as well look at it, right? Then again, there is a specific reason for public and corporate art. The San Francisco Art Commission (SFAC) has an ordinance that states the…

David Hockney is like Radiohead. He just evolves and gets better over time (but was great to begin with). In any case, read about his iPhone/iPad art exhibition here.

In recent musings regarding art and technology, digital/multi media arts has given me heart palpitations (in a good way, of course). Innovation is an integral part in bridging communities, cultures, and sub-cultures. A hybrid approach seems to be taking actual data and making it beautiful. Visit Information is Beautiful on the web. Again, exploring both realms can actually serve both Traditional and Digital/Multi-media artists. More recently, memories of Edward Tufte‘s work have been resurfacing from the crevices of my mind. I remember learning about Tufte’s work right out of college…

If you’re familiar with some of my earlier posts, you would know one of my art crushes is Elyse Hochstadt. I’ve been following Ms. Hochstadt’s work and happy to report that she will be showing work at Root Division at the Manufactured Organic show! Much of her recent work focuses heavily on materiality and immateriality. The beauty lies in the fact that much of her work takes patience due to the…
