D Hirst Does a Video
Damien Hirst has art directed a music video for The Hours . Sienna Miller is in it acting all crazy in a Hirst like environment. I kinda like it . But maybe its just cuz it presents itself as yet another outlet in which now fine art can exist . I m sure it has before with like David LaChappelle and what not but I'm just saying MBA here I come. Anyways heres the video.
Thanks
For everyone that came to the BFA Open Studios. I'm very glad to have been able to be part of the event and glad many of you came out to participate. Pictures will be posted soon, probably to9morrow, I need sleep.

The Bucket Reminds
Thanks to Mr. Andy Bucket Holder for reminding me today of my bible of art books , Julie Ault's Felix Gonzalez Torres monograph. this book seriously is the most beautiful book ever with some of the best collection of essays ever. It really has influence me a lot. Of coarse it being about the FGT helps it on my list but it really is an amazing book.
Read it!! Now!!

Deal of Le Cliff o' Still
So I'm mentioning this for two reasons: one well ok more than one reason whatever here are my reasons this woman owned some really uhm interesting ? painting of what looks like cars or something Sunday ish , and she brought it to my favorite secret pass time , Antiques Roadshow, and it turned out to be a early painting by Clifford Still. I think her facial reaction is my favorite part here, I'd probably be making the same face if all of a sudden I got the estimate she got . Heck I'd probably make that face just for simply being on that amazing show.So the nice little lady ended up finding out her Still to be worth at 500,000$$$. Anyways here's the NY post about it and I'm going thrift store shopping.

Pics From Pete and the Lumpen or the Other name I can never Rememeber
Here are some of the pics from the InfoPorn show last Friday. It was an interesting show. My favorite thing about it was the installation , very symmetrical very clean in comparison to the show they had installed last time i was there....oh oh and of course Pedro's stuff which I though stole the show due to the fact that everything else fell under a very stark uniform. and cuz Pedro's stuff was kick ass! I included a picture on a very nice piece of his in which he asked to asses his painting skills, I gave a thumbs up.

Pop On Prop 8 and Kyle stuff.
So with all this going on regarding the passing o f Prop 8 and the whole gay marriage issue I wanted to share some of Kyle Harter's work that has touched on the subject.Kyle has been working with a documentary called, "Fish Out Of Water" which surrounds a critique and exploration of homosexuality and the Church. Two of the videos are small clips from the film which is still in production and the other one is a film made by Kyle in response to some of his own research
(Orangutans can do that?). Anyways I think hes done a great job at approaching this issue and once again lets all reevaluate how important it really is to allow equality across all boards. I mean like Kyle puts it in his film "Its not just about making babies".
I accidentally added two of the same video and I cant figure out how to change it so I shall leave it. enjoy it twice. Update I firgured out how to remove the extra video I posted twice so now enjoy it once or forever or twice or whatever.

Happy Collaborationist Exhibition Space Presents : The Box Show
Hello , The Happy Collaborationist is hosting yet another great show on the 22nd of this month. This time around our happy girls in blue hair present the Box Show. Ms Anna Trier in a recent discussion stated she is very excited with this show and to expect wonderful work and an exciting night. Below is the curatorial statement for the show and also all the info. Hope to see everyone there.
Curatorial Statement:
The cube is a Platonic solid, also called the regular hexahedron. The term is derived from Plato's notion of a regular solid out of four classical elements: earth, air, water and fire. The metaphorical conception of an infinite line connecting nature is extremely beautiful; it is the celebratory painting of the beginning of human logic.
A box functions as a tabla rasa by taking the form as a symbolic and physical container to absorb and/or mimic the containing object. Its utopic and minimal simplicity is also open to intricate physical and emotional complexity and can create infinite amount of elaborate patterns and structures. It is the ultimate
metaphor and it is ubiquitous. However, its existence is so modest and tranquil that we often do not recognize living within a box. It is a child of mother nature and something that we continue to struggle with; we are constantly trying to be "outside the box." Before this perilous revolution, we must understand and appreciate its symbiotic nature with humans.

Eman is Baracking It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All Im saying is go make some sort of choice. But I'm letting you in on my choice, there's bigger problems in the world then the pity things we allow our media and our sorrounding influences inflict us with. Lets look for a better approach to being to living to simply thinking. Eman proudly voices his pick of Barack Obama as the next Pres of the USA.
