Love this project! “With its Geo Tools, Google has created a platform that allows users and businesses to interact with maps in a novel way. This means that questions relating to power in the discourse of cartography have to be reformulated. But what is the relationship between the art of enabling and techniques of supervision, […]

Are people democratically appointed, […]

Adam Sorensen
Adam Sorensen visited our advanced painting class last weekend to show his work. He paints wild, imaginary landscapes in a mix of dark and bright, sometimes neon colors. At times his work reminded me of a painter’s version of Ralph Bakshi. The mood of the paintings share a mix of eeriness, doomy-gloomy, cartoonishness and hopefulness. […]

Joe Ryckebosch at Half & Half Cafe
I just love this show. The pieces are made from found photos and frames, and graphics tape. Reading through his Bio, Joe speaks of forgetting and remembering, cast-aways, re purposing, revealing, resurrection, and architecture and morality. I want to call them a re-revery. A seeking out of the once cherrished, breathing new life, revealing hidden […]
