In contemporary art, it’s not only about the retina, which disappoints a few people I’ve spoken with over the past week (I’ve got a lively post baking in the oven! You will just have to wait and see what I’m talking about). Truthfully, I’m unable to deny the sense of sight being that my day […]

Art writer, Christopher Knight wrote an entry for his Los Angeles Times blog, Culture Monster, about artist Trevor Paglen last September. His work has been unforgettable since then. Chronicles of satellites and planes doing reconnaissance work in the night sky play an intriguing yet integral part in our collective understanding of our (militaristic) history. Paglen’s work is allegorical and shows how modern technology can affect our understanding […]

Unfortunately, my mind is completely blank, my body limp, and my heart numb due to some unforeseen circumstances. Somehow, looking at art always makes me feel better. Even if it forces me to be contemplative. Thanks for making me think Kara Hearn. If you ever read this, Kara, just know, today, although sad, surreal, […]

Everyone uses Google, well, almost everyone… I know I use Google (as a search engine, my e-mail, etc.) so it was amazing to see their latest addition to the Google applications – Art Project! Granted, I’d much rather see the musuems of the world in person but if I can’t spend the money to go […]

I know this is an art writing blog but I felt compelled to write about my (art) writing process. It’s simple: I journal (everyday). That’s right, folks, I still journal. Or, keep a diary. I’ve done this since January 2006. I love the act of writing organically. With technology, the mind processes many bits of […]

I’m tired and quite frankly I want to go to sleep. Now that I’ve got that thought out of the way, let me write a little something before I lay my head down. Who needs sleep anyway? I mean, really! I was painting as a young artist and mostly I was painting these clouds and […]

Yet, I had to write a little something about the next piece I’m working on – La Pocha Nostra. Yesterday, I attended the Corpo Illicito: The Post Human Society #69 performance piece at the SOMArts Cultural Center. There’s a lot of processing going on but I wanted to forewarn you of any photos I may […]
