It seems like an eternity since we've all been together. I am so looking forward to seeing everyone this Sunday, September 19, at Cherie's studio visit.
Forever connected the the school calendar (despite no longer being connected to a school), this always feel the like the beginning of a new year. I hope we will continue our momentum and see what we can bring to the Salon and what the Salon can create for us.
Here's an interesting article from the LA Times last week:
LA Art Biennial on tap for 2012
It's about time. Let's be in it.
Craig and I saw some great exhibits yesterday and I thought I'd share them:
Larry Pittman at Regen Projects
He just takes my breath away. Check out both Regen Projects galleries. His new paintings are at the new space and a survey of works on paper (presented in a very trippy way) are at the older space.
Alberto Burri at the Santa Monica Museum of Art
Amazing Italian artist who spent some time in Los Angeles. Under the radar and ahead of his time. Some of the uses of his materials reminded me a little of the way Lee Bontecou used burlap and charred-looking materials. As Shelley Duvall said in Annie Hall, it was "Trans-splendid".
Nancy Jackson at Rosamund Felson
We are both such big fans of Nancy Jackson. We own one her pieces from her debut show at Rosamund Felson. Her work is honest, beautiful, idiosyncratic and let's you in on her unique sense of journey. This work is both very dark (nightmarish, detailed, cross-hatched drawings and paintings) and literally very light (spiraling mobiles cut from delicate sheets of paper). And at times humorous.
She moved to the east coast last year. That'll mess with your head...
So, sorry I've been out of touch. Our dog is recovering from knee surgery. We've been home with him for weeks and I've generally had my head in the foggy regions of the never ending quest for trans-splended-ness.
Love to you all...
