#art thinking

Not the office shenanigans (Stolitz makeup sex)

Not the way Stolas would handle the “Karen’s”, although I’m looking forward to that as well 😂

But this exact image incorporated as a reference:

And also:

I love being a teaching artist, this is where my junior sculpture majors and I begin the spring semester… these are the shared departure points we will use to create overlapping conversations as they explore extremely divergent individual lines of inquiry.

This semester we move through 2 units and start with a 1 week residency in a gallery space moving from language, to action to object to experience and making 9 new works from a single word in 1 week.

unit 1: of a working body / a body of work

unit 2: the limits of our love / limits are love

we begin by investigating the complexity and interconnection between language and reality production in order to understand how to leverage it, engage it and navigate it as creatives.

We made our way over to see what was going on with the Warhol exhibit a few weeks ago... it was a lot to process. Warhol is a lot of process.

It's hard to feel like we aren't living in this ghost of his mind sometimes... it's hard to feel like he isn't the ghost in the machine of the AI era...

"There it is, there it all was, and it was in a museum exhibit down in Daejeon that I realized how significant Warhol had been on all the commercial representation that I grew up with. Good for Warhol, and yet, as everyone points to his upbringing in poverty as vindication for his later wealth, I have an uneasy feeling in my mouth about it all. Not liking to know modern folks through curation, I sought out interviews to hear directly from the man himself."

Anyway... I'd be over the moon if you read my thoughts over on subtack~

I'll keep sharing snippets here, but tumblr feels more casual than the longform over there.

I know... I know, I should move to Ghost soon.
