I hit this fabulous MOMA exhibit in the spring with the fabulous QoE Stephanie before I ran off to Dundee for the summer, but realise I never posted pix. Here’s a small selection (so hard to choose). It moves from the more familiar mode of abstract psychic phenomenon to the direct from nature renderings (with…

Matinee: A Damsel in Distress
Sometimes you need to cheer yourself up with a little hoofin’ and laughing and ingenue romance. As I did the other day thanks to iPlayer. A Damsel in Distress was just what the day needed: Fred Astaire, George and Gracie in London where a most youthful Joan Fontaine has fallen for an American and of…
Elena Steier
It’s so hard to lose people and then to try to say something about that loss. Elena was my friend, sometimes my collaborator, always bringing the unexpected and what would she say? ‘Oh well. What can you do?’ and then she would do it: write a story, sketch out a comic, go to spin class….
Nacreous Clouds
We were treated to nacreous clouds in Dundee after the solstice. I was mesmerised and took far too many photos of the rainbow-coloured clouds that formed before the sun rose, reflecting its light. There are always wonders to come.
DCA Dundee & #ArtNightDundee
It’s a big week in Dundee art-wise: Saturday brings the big Art Night with events all over town, including Tai Shani whom Amy Hale as praised highly, especially in this essential read. A few things are already in place and some will hang around after because Dundee is always full of art! So I went…
Round the Howff
I bestirred myself to actually leave the house and have a wander in town despite the fact that it was hot and there is a bus driver strike on (also fire fighters). As always the Howff proved a cool respite from the heat and a peaceful place to sit for a while and just be….
Along the South Bank
In between times: writing up a review and gathering more photo spreads of art, but here’s some of the photos that don’t fit into bigger topics. I always enjoy a wander along the South Bank — unless it’s a bank holiday Monday, I must say. Pullulating with people it’s not enjoyable; it took forty minutes…
Rossettis @ Tate
I have already posted the photos to the ‘book — vainly it appears, as only one or two of them appear in people’s feeds so they keep liking the same two photos over and over. I try to choose more selectively for the blog, but how to choose — for the image, for the significance,…
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…
Welcome, Claverack Giant!
Who is the Claverack Giant? I am happy to reveal that I have received a CREATE Artist Grant for 2023 for a digital media art project ‘The Claverack Giant’ which is inspired by local folklore, archeology, a little fanaticism, poetry, and a good dollop of mystery. From my application: Did giants roam the Hudson Valley…
