In a rather adventurous turn for me, I took out my passport and headed to suburbia in order to see an exhibit of Berthe Morisot at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, which was on the edges of my consciousness for having held a British Surrealism exhibit some few years ago featuring of course Carrington and others….

Armed with Madness: Mary M. & Bryan Talbot
The embarrassment of riches continues: I have been eagerly anticipating this since Mary started dropping hints last year. I am hoping to arrange an interview with the two of them, but anon — in the meantime let me tell you about this fabulous book. You’ll know (or should!) Mary and Bryan from projects like the…
Leonora Carrington: Revelation
I said an embarrassment of riches around Leonora Carrington, didn’t I? Well here’s glory for you: the catalogue from the exhibit this year that brought to public view many parts of her life that have not been seen before (if you’re not someone like Joanna Moorhead who did get to see them) like her home…
Surreal Spaces: Life & Art of Leonora Carrington
DMs on Instagram are mostly scammers, but I check them occasionally anyway because sometimes something great is there — like a message from Thames & Hudson asking if I’d be interested in an advance copy of this book. Yes, please! Like all T&H books it’s gorgeously produced, which allows you to see details in paintings…
Betye, Izzy, QoE & Me in Boston
I ran up to Boston with the Queen of Everything AKA the fabulous Stephanie to catch the Betye Saar exhibit at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. I think I first saw her work when I was living in L.A. but I don’t recall a whole exhibit devoted to her. What magnificence to see so much…
Apocalypse with Leonora: Oct 13
October 13th: Apocalypse with Leonora Carrington’s The Hearing Trumpet: A Talk with K A Laity
Visiting Leornora’s House
Catching up on my viewing as it seems to be one of the few things my exhausted brains can comprehend. Art — especially art by my trimulierate Carrington, Varo & Fini — is sustaining me when I am running on fumes and finally admitting to that fact. I am doing better about not taking on…
Joik, Gloria’s Call & Leonora’s Journey
I am still catching up on things amidst a mad week (hopefully the last for a while) but I wanted to be sure to post this video from the Biennale mostly so I can find it easily to watch again. It features Sámi noadi Ánde Somby — I just love his modern four winds hat…
Surrealism, Tarot & Leonora
I am woefully behind on everything and making so little progress. What better time to watch some of the videos from the Biennale! This one of course I was very much anticipating. I know I have shared talks with Susan Aberth and Tere Arcq many times and they have spoken about Leonora and YET, there…
Scoundrel for a Sunday
THE PRIVATE AFFAIRS OF BEL AMI (1947) I’m a bit mystified how I never got around to this film until recently. I adore George Sanders and no one plays a better scoundrel than he does. Add to that a luminescent Angela Lansbury at her very dewiest beauty and some great women’s roles, and — well,…
