I saw the Australian production of Dear Evan Hansen a couple of nights ago! My first time ever seeing it live after years of obsessing over it. I was losing my mind entirely, it was incredible.

The costume design was especially delightful to me, here are my drawings of the kids :)

This week on “David & David”, David Byrne is torn between his girlfriend, Suzy, and his roommate David Lynch when the latter, heartbroken by his ex, Bjork, plans a prophesied dinner party for their friends Neighbor Nic, Lorde Lande, and Georgie on the same night as Suzy and Byrne’s anniversary.

Looking for a dinner party to attend this November? Is Thanksgiving too mainstream for your tastes? My friends and I have been working hard on putting up this show in its entirety since our sold out test show last December. This multi-media experience includes: short films, projected backgrounds, "cassette tape recordings", live saxophone and piano, cow brains and monkeys' paws, all within the format of a play hoisted onto a sitcom universe. Inspired by the comedic stylings of 30 Rock and surrealist cinema of David Lynch, weighing in at about 7 jokes per minute, your psyche is sure to experience an overstimulating nightmare!

Featuring an all-star, beloved celebrity cast: David Lynch, David Byrne, Bjork, Georgia O'Keefe, Nicolas Cage, and Werner Herzog. All varying in terms of... let's say historical accuracy. Knowledge of any of these people is helpful, but not required.

The Annoyance Theatre has generously provided us with LIVESTREAM CAPABILITIES so that people like YOU (who presumably don't live in Chicago) can see it from the comfort of your homes on Saturday the 16th at 6:00 PM CST. If you DO live in Chicago / have friends in Chicago, please come see/make your friends come see the show in person!

LIVESTREAM TICKETS ARE $5 USD AND CAN BE FOUND HERE.

IN-PERSON TICKETS ARE $20 USD AND CAN BE FOUND HERE.

Feel free to reblog <3 thank you for your support, and enjoy

ohhhh my god a coworker just came over to me and asked if I watch 9-1-1 because it came up on his instagram ‘for you’ page or whatever and when he looked at a few posts he saw I’d liked them

then he went digging and discovered people ship buck and eddie even though they are ‘just friends’????? and if it’s up to season 8 it must be good, but he’s not going to watch it because he would have to reactivate disney+

Letter from Frida Kahlo to Georgia O'Keeffe, Detroit, 1933

In 1933 Frida Kahlo is 26yo and Georgia O’Keeffe is 46yo. This letter was apparently written after Kahlo found out about O’Keeffe’s nervous breakdown Georgia, Was wonderful to hear your voice again. Every day since I called you and many times before months ago I wanted to write you a letter. I wrote you many, but every one seemed more stupid and empty and I torn them up. I can’t write in English…

Sarah Meyohas, “Interference #19”, 2023, Holograms, mirrored black glass, aluminum

Georgia O’Keeffe, “Poppy”, 1927, Oil on canvas

Francis Picabia “The Church of Montigny, Effect of Sunlight” 1908, Oil on canvas (left); Christian Sampson “Projection Painting”, 2023, Acrylic and films with LED light; and Claude Monet “The Houses of Parliament, Effect of Fog, London” 1904, Oil on canvas (right)

The Nature of Art exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts St. Petersburg merges art from the museum’s collection with loaned works to explore- “art’s crucial role in our evolving quest to understand our relationship with nature and our place in the cosmos”.

One of the benefits of an encyclopedic museum is that visitors have the opportunity to experience art throughout history, and to revisit works that resonate with them. For the section titled Artist as Curator, Sarah Meyohas and Christian Sampson chose pieces from the museum’s collection to pair with their own work.

From the museum-

At first glance, perhaps, these may seem like unusual combinations, but upon deeper contemplation, their selections reveal complementary artistic intents. For instance, Meyohas and Georgia O’Keeffe share an interest in close looking, particularly in finding new ways to examine underappreciated aspects of the natural world. Sampson, influenced by the California Light and Space Movement, is interested in current scholarship that suggests the hazy fog found in Claude Monet’s work is an early depiction of air pollution, offering an entirely new perspective on the artist’s representations of light.

Sampson also created the four-part installation, Tempus volat, hora fugit, on view until 2025 at the museum.

Below are some of the works from additional sections of the exhibition.

Postcommodity, “kinaypikowiyâs”, 2021, Four 30.5-metre industrial debris booms

Postcommodity is an interdisciplinary art collective comprised of Cristóbal Martínez (Genizaro, Manito, Xicano), and Kade L. Twist (Cherokee).

About Postcommodity’s work, kinaypikowiyâs, (seen above) from the museum-

This work is composed of debris booms, used to catch and hold environmental contaminants such as garbage, oil, and chemicals. The colors of the booms correspond to different types of threats— red (flammable), yellow (radioactive), blue (dangerous), and white (poisonous)-in the labeling system for hazardous materials. To indigenous peoples, these are shared medicine colors that carry knowledge, purpose and meaning throughout the Western Hemisphere. Suspended like hung meat, the booms represent a snake that has been chopped into four parts. Each part represents an area of the colonial map of the Western Hemisphere: South America, Central America, North America, and all of the surrounding islands. The title, kinaypikowiyâs, is a Plains Cree word, meaning snake meat. Divided by borders, Postcommodity asserts that all people living in the Americas are riding on the back of this snake.

Duke Riley's Reclaimed ocean plastic sculptures and “Tidal Fool” wallpaper

Duke Riley’s work, which was previously shown at Brooklyn Museum, addresses issues of environmental pollution by using discarded plastics found in the ocean and other waterways to create new work inspired by the past. You can hear him discuss his work in this video.

From the museum-

Inspired by the maritime museum displays he saw while a child growing up in New England, Riley’s scrimshaw series is a cutting observation of capitalist economies-historic and today-that endanger sea life. The sculptures were created for the fictional Poly S. Tyrene Memorial Maritime Museum, and are contemporary versions of sailors’ scrimshaw, or delicately ink-etched whale teeth and bone. Riley first thought about using plastic as an ode to scrimshaw when he saw what he thought was a whale bone washed up on the beach in Rhode Island; it turned out to be the white handle of a deck brush. Riley regularly removes trash from beaches and waterways, and often uses this refuse in his work.

Riley collaborated with Brooklyn-based Flavor Paper to create these two custom wallpapers for his solo exhibition DEATH TO THE LIVING, Long Live Trash at the Brooklyn Museum. Tidal Fool exhibits Riley’s trademark humor in the face of devastating water pollution; notice the Colt 45-guzzling mermaid. Wall Bait vibrantly references Riley’s meticulous fishing lures, which he crafts from refuse found in the waters around New York City.

Daniel Lind-Ramos,"Centinelas de la luna nueva (Sentinels of the New Moon)", 2022-2023, Mixed media

From the museum about this work-

In Centinelas de la luna nueva, he evokes the elders of the mangroves, spiritual beings who watch over and ensure the health of this essential coastal tree. Mangroves are the basis for a complex ecosystem that shelters sea life and serves as the first line of defense in the tropical storms that batter the sub-tropics -including Florida.

Lind-Ramos's practice reflects the vibrant culture of his native Loíza, Puerto Rico, by honoring local agriculture, fishing, cooking, and masquerade. His sculptures also evoke Hurricane Maria (2017), the COVID-19 pandemic, and ongoing environmental degradation. Lind-Ramos is committed to the survival and sustenance of Afro-Taíno traditions and people of the Puerto Rican archipelago. However, his art engages the global community through shared emotions, parallel histories, and the commonality of human experience.

The next post will discuss two other artists in the exhibition, Brookhart Jonquil and Janaina Tschäpe.

Back to watercolor

View from US23, Jacquelyn Block Today is the first day of the new school year for my boys, plus our first Palette Club meeting of the season. After our meeting we had a show and tell and I shared my mural with the group. Talking with my fellow artists about upcoming shows helped inspire tonight’s art work. I decided to channel a bit of Georgia O’Keeffe for my landscape watercolor. I took a…

not me 2/3 way through the second volume of "myth of the machine" by lewis mumford learning that georgia o keefe's paintings were not meant to be pussy and this misinterpretation of her work was apparently started by lewis mumford ! ! ! in 1925 he went to her show, saw some flowers, wrote a review about how much sex the paintings contained, then walked back a bit with an admission that perhaps half of the sex is due to his own imagination. lewis bitch you look so fucking stupid. how am i gonna finish reading your fucking book. i get it, oil paint excites me as well, but you made a PAINTER grumpy and i ve just developed a phantom guild loyalty, bitch!

A punk house is a magical place. Like, no really it is. The one I spend time at, it's down in Florida and it's one of the only music venues in the city that's not centered around sex or drinking. It's run by local queer punks, there's a "dorm" where you can sleep if you're having a a bad time at home, there's space for traveling bands to spend the night after a show, there's a community garden and a pop up shop and once it's autumn there's a bonfire most nights. We see so many shows there, and hang out and do art together, and recently we had a big fundraiser to keep it there another year. It was my band's biggest show we've ever played and it was the best time ever <3

Here's us closing our set with To Risk To Live by Days N Daze, follow us (Twig and Leaf) on Instagram and if you're ever in South Georgia or North Florida, hit us up and we can jam together.
