meet livia. she comes to me via the amazing and fantastic girl who loves green . since i know you want one... you can get a warm cuddley softie of your own from her etsy shop
so mr. barney is a hard nut to crack. i'm still trying to figure out what my real reaction to his exhibition was. i want to see the movie too before i make up my mind. first thoughts: i'm intrigued by artist as athlete. i've fallen for the sheer materiality of his work. but... is spectacle enough? too much?? i do love walking the galleries of sfmoma with students though. it's like i get to see some things with fresh eyes... and speaking of fresh... mati is such a dear. she is so earnest and involved in her making it's delightful. she's making big decisions about her art and life and work and it's all there - openly and honestly. you HAVE to admire that! speaking of which i want to get this book as i'm on the hunt for some new to me books about making art and being an aritst for a class in the fall.
and no more words for me.... just pics:
bird from natalie
i had to turn word verification on. the spammers got to me... bad.... sorry!
aw! what a cute bird, im going to have to check out her shop!
i love the top photo you posted, its great.
now, HOPEFULLY this actually posts for me. i have tried posting on 4 different blogs since i got home from vacation and none of them are working. what a pain.
livia is too cute.
it's amazing
when people
are so genuine-
open and honest
about who there are
and
what their art
means
to them...
xo
ah livia!!
I must say she is one of the cutest ones...and one of the only pinks!
love your polorids!
(and I think you have this entry up twice...)
i agree wholeheartedly about Mati. She's a great one. And I love it when she talks about her art process. It's strange how making art can tie you in such knots.
That book looks very intriguing to me as well. I'll put it on my list.
livia is a dear - too sweet for words!
likewise here, regarding matthew barney - the jury is still out...you always make me think - love that about your blog =)
