I had forgotten all about this piece at Pulp Metal Magazine (hi Jason) until a chance reminder yesterday. Clearly remember that day, waking up here in Dundee and hearing/seeing the news. I am amused by the theory that we have been in an alternate reality since, but it does not change what we must do…

Occulture Talk & a Gift
Delightful birthday gifts for me yesterday (thank you all!) included my Occulture talk going live on YT. Do check out all the speakers — so many inspiring talks from interesting and knowledgeable people. I’m afeared to watch myself but you are welcome to do so. A reminder, too, that the Fox Spirit Collection Fearless Genre…
Bard Hessel Museum
As the migration approaches, I am trying to catch some last minute things — like visiting the new Keith Haring wing at Bard’s Hessel Museum, home of Curatorial Studies, where the first year students have assembled interesting collections. While I should get around to all the local art exhibits, this one had a particular draw…
Picturesque Berlin
So little time; so much to do! And so many adventures not yet shared. Unable to choose which exhibit to showcase next, instead I offer some random beauty from my wanderings in Berlin for Occulture. I stayed in a hotel near Berlin Alexanderplatz on the advice of a friend and it was a great central…
The Umpteenth Dog Redux
Prompted by the Hudson Valley Writers Guild to assess my ‘Year in Review’ I made a video. While I had a number of things published this year, looking back over blog posts (which is how I keep track of these things) I re-read my angry February post The Umpteenth Dog and decided it needed more…
Crossing Borders
A new exhibit Border Crossings opened this summer at the McManus Galleries. It highlights Scots artists who often went off to other lands to find fame. Like Eduardo Paolozzi: Check out the McManus page dedicated to it, but I will share a couple more here. I drafted this post months ago and then found it…
Surrealism in Berlin
This week has been rather more hectic than expected so I’m jumping around and the roulette wheel lands on Surrealism in Berlin — specifically the exhibit at the Neue Nationalgalerie ‘Max Ernst to Dorothea Tanning: Networks of Surrealism’. Some helpful fellow (sorry, don’t think I got a name) came up at the end of my…
#DressDreamsDesire @ FIT
After the 9 @ Nagas, we strolled down to the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology — actually we had a very good lunch first at Kame Ramen. Then we headed over for Dress, Dreams & Desire curated by Dr Valerie Steele, who is also director of the Museum. I love art you can…
9 Women @ Nagas
In order to restore some order to life, the universe and this blog, I am backtracking to when it all became overwhelming which would be mid-October and yes — ha! — it’s getting on the last part of November, but maybe this week I can endeavour to catch up a little. I do mostly write…
Johanna Dumet: Fool for a Lifetime
Circling around all the things that went on in Berlin: so much! So many glories to experience. Art everywhere and have I gone on at length about the sheer wonder of a modern city with affordable, convenient 24/7 public transportation? Well, I will at the drop of a hat. Drop a hat and see! Johanna…
