Hey. Sorry 'bout the lightness of posting lately. 1. It's summer which means more drinking and picnics. 2. I've been working on something. Not to go all Winkleman on you, but I'll share the details when things are more firmed up. And no, I'm not doing what we're all betting Ed is doing. Plus, this is the part of the summer when I finally go to Chelsea to see the summer shows in Chelsea only to be reminded--as I am every [...]

I felt no particular urge to see It's not only Rock 'n' Roll, Baby!, an exhibition which reconsiders personalities of today's rock'n roll scene in the context of their work as visual artists. I don't like rock. But then i was in Brussels and had just read that the show was curated by Jérôme Sans, the co-founder and ex-co-director of what remains my favourite art center on earth, the Palais de Tokyo, and the current director of the Ullens Center for [...]

Godzilla of course is one of the best movie monsters of all times - my favourite certainly - and the early movies contain all the fun you can have (wonderful examples how a little imagination and a rubber suit easily beat today's combination of a meagre imagination and computer effects). The only problem is that some of those movies contain just a bit too much of "Godzilla (or some other monsters) destroys some city" - after about five minutes you [...]

there goes the neighborhood (single-family houses visit midtown) How many more suburban mini-estates do we really need? How many more can we bear? It was a long time ago, and the details are a bit hazy, but I'm sure that my first love was the art of architecture and all its wonderful works. I remember the shapes and structural details of every room and every back yard I came across as a very young child, when I was barely able [...]

Musings on photography recently talked about the idea of cliché. Below is a country lane that happens to be pregnant with possibility. Ready to drive to market, we noticed a frog sitting in the lane, gazing off into the distance. As I stepped out of the car, he turned towards me. He scrutinized me as I was slowly approaching him. He held eye-contact with me. Finally, I politely asked him to please hop aside, displaying a more restrained behavior than the [...]

A couple of months ago, a message appeared on the roof of Steve Turner Contemporary Art, loosely painted in white across a black ground, reading "Help Us." Given the gallery's location, just across Wilshire Boulevard from the Los Angeles County Museum or Art (LACMA) and the dazzling new home for all things blue-chip, The Broad Contemporary Art Museum, one would be tempted to infer a dissenting tone in the sign, made by Los Angeles artist Mark Bradford. But as Bradford's [...]
