light effects

I was stretching a bunch of canvases the other day - when I leaned a finished one against the window, this light pattern shone through.

Up In Smoke!

Check out this link to Cheech Marin's Chicano art collection. I had the pleasure of meeting him when he visited FSU last year. Real cool dude with much substance...

The Truth Yet Again Asserts Itself in Obdurate Reprisal, And in So Doing Belies the Fact That You, No Longer Besieged by Doubt, Have Come to the Conclusion That Maybe Things Aren't Really All That Bad After All

Vienna saw sages

wow. the "Hundertwasserhaus." This is a low-income apartment block in Vienna, (designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser) which features undulating floors, dirt/grass roof, and indoor trees with limbs that reach outta the windows. From the looks of it, does seem that this structure sticks to his ideas from his Mould Manifesto:

"A person in a rented apartment must be able to lean out of his window and scrape off the masonry within arm's reach. And he must be allowed to take a long brush and paint everything outside within arm's reach. So that it will be visible from afar to everyone in the street that someone lives there who is different from the imprisoned, enslaved, standardised man who lives next door."

ha, I should leave a copy at the front desk for my landlord.
