I will be holding my first ever open studio on Saturday
9/27! Visiting artist's studios with my dad in Fort Point, Fort Mason and the Headlands, San Francisco and Oakland...that is what probably made me really want to be an artist. We would spend all day wandering through old buildings and houses and looking at how people worked and lived. And now I have my own beautiful converted military building studio on the water. A dream come true...and it may not last long (our building is due for an update and well, artist studios don't figure into the makeover...you can google it and read more). I am working on some more long tall drawings, these of sky canyons in New York and Seattle. These are inspired by the narrow alleyways in downtown Seattle that run north/south. This drawing is based on a collage taken in the Village in NYC, in front of Maciunas' studio. If the technique looks familiar, you may have Radiohead's OK
Computer, which has cover art by Stanley
Donwood.
I have been looking at the work of my advisor tony
dubovsky again with new eyes. He sends a drawing regularly via email,
from a copy shop in Albany, CA. They arrive like messages of discipline and meditation.
I have also been looking at the work of seyed alavi and julian opie in relation to my signal cabinet project. Seyed just put up two new pieces in emeryville, the best little city in CA.
Ive started using Facebook. It makes me feel a bit ancient, but I am enjoying finding people and listening to their lives humming along. It shows little snippets of conversations, quick gestures between people, that I like. I saw a bumper sticker in the school parking lot this morning that said 'honk if you play scrabble' and I felt like I was literally catapulted into the persons life. Whiz--into your living room where you play at a little card table, with friends--zoom, onto the web, maybe you play there?,--zoom, onto the freeway, where someone honks and you share a glance: do you play? and then the person is gone. The way those narratives open up, stretch across time and space, and close up again in a blink of an eye: that is what it is all about.
my other new favorite place is Google 3d warehouse, where you can download all kinds of wonderful models and work with them in sketchup.
