Back from Sequoia
It was a great trip.

Off to Sequoia
We bought our first tent and we're breaking it in at Sequoia National Park this weekend. The only thing I'm not excited about are the bears. I'm scared of bears.

Letter from London: Peyton for Godot
"Ever seen Elizabeth Peyton and Sasha Baron Cohen in the same room together?"
Ben Street, always a great read.

Joni Mitchell-California (BBC)
Joni Mitchell-California (BBC).
I first saw this via Dennis Hollingsworth and it has really stuck in my head. I like living here. A lot of things have really clicked in the past 2 years (and of course, a few things haven't). The light is the biggest draw for me. David Hockney pretty much captures it the best. I try as well.

Ben Street is quickly becoming my favorite critic:
all the while panicking internally, if you're me, about what you're supposed to think or do: do I like these? Is it ok not to? Am I contributing to the White Male Hegemony of Post-Colonial Oppression if I wander out of the room too early? Or start thinking about lunch?

The East Side of Los Angeles on a Sunny Day on Vimeo
Not all the spots are on the east side but it's a beautiful time lapse video none-the-less. I need to try this with my camera.

After close to 2 years here I can name most of the places in the video. Can't believe it's been 2 years already. I remember back in Texas, reading the LA Times to start acquainting myself with the place I was about to move, feeling a cold sweat come over me on how enormous of a city LA was. It didn't take long for it to feel small, in a good way.

Money Changes Everything | Art21 Blog
"Money may be a shared commodity but it fractures perception; not only is it the most unreliable historical indicator of aesthetic value, but when art is rendered into a trophy and displayed as such, its role as a piece of communal experience, owned by all, is diminished. Nowhere is this more graphically demonstrated than in MoMA's 2004 expansion and reinstallation, where masterpieces of the 20th Century hang like caribou heads in barnlike, one-size-fits-all galleries – not connecting, not conversing, not communicating anything beyond their spot in a predetermined timeline, as independent of one another as the thumbnails on the museum's website."
Exactly how I feel when I go to the Broad Contemporary Art Museum at LACMA.
