I am delighted to get an acceptance to the next International Society for the Study of Surrealism conference which will be in Glasgow this August. By no means a sure thing as the competition only increases as the world gets more and more surreal! Of course this is a little easier to attend than some…

Bridging the Invisible
I could not be more delighted to be part of the Creative Practices and Bridging the Invisible conference wrangled by Heather D. Freeman for The Department of Art + Art History and The Center for the Study of Ideas and Practices at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, in co-sponsorship with The Center for Advanced Studies – Erlangen, The University of…
Leonor Fini – Menagerie
The video is age-restricted because there are breasts and sexual situations — it’s Fini after all. Click the link to open it if you dare! Ha. The Olney Gleason Gallery is where the Kasmin Gallery used to be (same people? Different? Doesn’t look too different. Their description also mentions future exhibits which I probably noted…
Art x Fashion
Also in the recent jaunt to NYC, a stop at the Museum @ FIT for ‘Art x Fashion’ a glimpse of how art and fashion have intertwined all the time for mutual benefit and dissection. I wanted more but that’s probably my problem. I ended up making a video visit because there was just so…
Mystery & Wonder
I made a quick jaunt down to the city which had two drawbacks immediately: 1) I was not meeting up with my partner in art crimes, Stephanie QoE and 2) it was unseasonably hot and how I hate that. Nevertheless, she persisted as one exhibit I quite wanted to see closes this weekend. First stop…
Pop Magic
I have not been to the Atlanta Marriott Marquis for a long time but it retains memories of both PCA and DragonCon from way back in the day, so many varied memories resurfacing through the hectic days which were marvellous! Great fun with Miss Wendy and old friends like Frenchy and Carol, and such terrific…

Forecasting the Future in the Past
Today is the last day of the FORECAST exhibit, which has apparently been very popular. The Institute seems very happy with it. To close out the run, there will be tarot readings, performances, and a talk by me — as well as the last chance to catch all the art. I’ll be talking about the…
PCA is going to be Magic!
I could not be more pleased to let you know, PCA folks, that the 2026 Lynn Bartholome Eminent Scholar Recipient is the fabulous AMY HALE! She will be speaking on ‘Understanding This Golden Age of Magic’ about magic and art and popular culture and this moment in which we find ourselves. I am so delighted…
Swedenborg House: Elective Affinities
SWEDENBORG HOUSE, LONDON Taking inspiration from the term coined in early chemistry, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s 1809 novel, and a celebrated painting by René Magritte, Elective Affinities explores the mysterious connection between objects, ideas and inner experience. At its core lies the thought of Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772), whose philosophy of correspondences proposed a resonance between objects, places…
