I’m skipping Florence because we were only there for an afternoon and the museums wouldn’t allow photos, so I don’t have many. But Venice is another story because we were there for the opening weekend of the Pinault Collection and the 53rd Venice Biennale. Ok, art first, my photos next.
Here are three experiences with amazing [...]
After having just spent a month and a half in Europe, I have spent a lot of time since my return (about 2.5 weeks) reliving and retelling my experiences there. Within three weeks, Mark and I visited five cities in three countries. I have finally uploaded all travel photos to my flickr page, but I [...]
This excellent fellow Mike Ambs condensed the entire 12-hours of Shadow Art Fair into a four minute video (for fun!) which really captures the day quite well. Here’s the link to view it.
So last night I got to go see this pretty lady:
and her misfit crew including Kelly Hogan and Jon Rauhouse. It was a marvelous, colorful, complete show. They blended a lot off of the new album, Middle Cyclone and Blacklisted, which felt wonderfully dark, and played some favorites from The Tigers Have Spoken and Fox [...]
Sunday we hosted a vegan brunch at our house. Our friends Ryan and Val brought tons of good eats too. Mark has already posted about it over at Irreverent Vegan. Ryan and Val did a great write-up on it (from which I nabbed this photo) on their blog i’m just doing this thing. Their about [...]
So, what with all of the vegan brunch hosting, Shadow Art Fair going, blogging, and uploading and categorizing hundreds of travel photos to flickr, the semi-annual rearranging of the water studio has suffered a bit. But fear not! It’s ready for action and with more work space and room to move around, I can’t wait [...]
So, that last post would have gotten out of hand if I had included everything I want to write and show, so I decided to break it into two posts. And now for part 2! This year’s poster and t-shirt were designed by the amazing and talented Melissa Dettloff (aka Mad Dog) who just happens [...]
So like a carnival sweeping through town, the Shadow Art Fair descends on Ypsilanti, Michigan twice yearly. The summer SAF in July always has an especially festive air, as there are longer daylight hours (as opposed to the December SAF) in which to enjoy it and the opportunity to spill into the Corner Brewery’s outdoor [...]
life:
and death…
In a way it makes me a little sad to throw flowers on the compost pile. It seems somehow funereal. But since they will eventually feed future flowers and vegetables, it is all part of the cycle.
My friend and art colleague Ryan, recently texted me the somewhat cryptic message: “Check out the paintings of Jordan Kantor.” Where had he come across these paintings? Why was I supposed to see them? An email cleared it up: Ryan has seen them at the exhibition Untitled (History Painting): Painting and Public Life in the [...]
