Duality

I only have to drive Colorado Blvd. once a year now. I noticed some new restaurants that look delicious. I’ll have to try them another time… Same waiting room feet. New shoes. Same knots in my stomach. Familiar, known, jaded…unknown, new, naïve. Nothing has changed. Everything has changed. A new nurse named Jennifer. As always, the nursing staff are wonderful. She liked my tattoos. Her daughter…

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

Two roads diverged in a yellow woodAnd sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveller, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally layIn…

Poem: The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Robert Frost ( 1874 – 1963 ) Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same, And…

Shades of Longing

I think of them bothand I wonder which I miss more: the one I have greater record of, the emails and the poems and the shows or the one I had more interactions with, the drinks and the late nights and conversations. Neither were deep or detailed enough for me to have left a strong impression but enough for me to be smitten, bit until enslaved as familiar to their succubi powers. I am forever…

Reblogging to shout out a few of the many amazing tags on this poll which i think deserve to be seen—

I agree with all of this so so much and especially what all of you are saying about how the lines between platonic and romantic love are so often blurred and that reality is simply much more complex than a tumblr poll can address. He loves her period is RIGHT. And at least for me I think i also can’t separate these confessions from the intent I see behind them which is like, love without expectation. I don’t think Jamie is confessing he loves her in s2 thinking they’re going to actually get back together or to even propose that happening in any way. It’s more that he just wants her to know what she means to him (whether it be platonic or romantic or a bit of BothAnd) and that he’s thankful for her role in his life. At the end of the day he loves her, that love is something special, and it’s something he wants to be forever, I think. It doesn’t matter so much what form that takes, whether it means friendship or a relationship or what have you. After all, Jamie does know that isn’t only his choice to make. Most of all he just wants her to always be a part of his life and i think that’s what so beautiful about the two of them. <3

*the confessions I'm referring to are the funeral scene in s2 and the finale scene with Roy in s3

Hard Work AND Discipline

Hard Work AND Discipline

Out of all the life lessons I teach my children, there is one thing that I want to engrain in my children’s mindset – You can do and become anything you want with hard work and discipline. There is nothing that can stand in their way if they put in the hard work and have discipline. In fact, the only person who will stand in their way is themselves. Also, it’s not “either, or” it is “both, and”.…

The Cost of 9.19

Interesting to me that on the anniversary date of my total hysterectomy and oophorectomy, I had to drive by the medical center that, not only did I deliver my first baby at, but it was the center that housed the doctor that ultimately pressed for the removal of my uterus and fallopian tubes and my ovaries.  He took one look at my scans and one look at me and taking into consideration the worst…

Tautoko, @hepsfx. This week has been a conflicting one for me too. As a follower of Jesus I pledge ultimate allegiance Jesus, whose kindom is the antithesis of worldly kingdoms. (Well at least it should be. Unfortunately the reign of God has been co-opted by the death-dealing logic of earthy kingdoms with horrific results). This week I have wrestled with issues of church and state, the crown, the fact that a family is grieving, and the tragic history of the British Empire and the havoc it wreaked on indigenous peoples. In Hohepa's post about QE2 Heps did something vitally important. He moved beyond either/or and embraced the both/and (we need more of this). Heps recognised that QE2 was human, has family and friends who are grieving, and acknowledged that creating space for mourning is important. And he didn't shy away from drawing attention the history of violence associated with the British Monarchy and the British Empire and its heartbreaking impact on indigenous peoples. Embracing both/and is difficult and messy but if we are to move forward it's work we need to do. Shot, Heps! Love your mahi. ♥️🙏✌️#bothand #messytruth https://www.instagram.com/p/CihQvO-OaJW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

CHI / Both And

Both And Alex Chitty, Julia Fish, Miyoko Ito, Avery Z. Nelson, and Brittney Leeanne Williams October 30 - December 11, 2021 Opening reception: Saturday, October 30 from 12pm - 4pm

[Browse our special exhibition website]

[Watch the Artist Talk from Nov 18]

Tiger Strikes Asteroid Chicago is thrilled to present Both And featuring nuanced abstract paintings by Chicago-based artist Miyoko Ito (1918-1983), alongside contemporary sculptures and paintings by Alex Chitty, Julia Fish, Avery Z. Nelson, and Brittney Leeanne Williams. Each artwork is powerful in its ambiguity, containing contradictions in terms of spatial illusion and reference(s) which obliterate any supposed binary between “abstraction” and “representation.” By situating Ito’s work in relation to that of the artists working today, the exhibition opens up a dialogue around abstraction that calls attention to distinctive engagements with color, space, timelessness, and form.

Online Program

Join Tiger Strikes Asteroid Chicago on Thursday, November 18 at 6:00pm CST for a virtual artist talk presented in conjunction with the exhibition Both And. TSA Chi member Nicole Mauser will moderate a conversation with the exhibiting artists  that explores the relationship between abstraction and representation in their work. San Francisco-based curator Jordan Stein will elaborate on Ito’s work and life. Together we will make connections between each individual’s artistic practice as well as overlaps between the works on view. Register to attend the online Artist Talk here.

Inclusively and theoretically, Julia Fish’s work can be characterized as both site-generated and context-specific, in temporary projects and installations, as well as in the on-going sequence of paintings and works on paper that she has developed in response to a close examination of the experience of living and working within her home and studio, a 1922 two-story brick storefront in Chicago. Fish has described this process as one which “opens onto questions and critical approaches to the practice of painting, to drawing, and to the nuances and implications of representation/re-presentation.” Concurrent and influential research interests include the related disciplines of architecture, architectural history, and theory. After completing studies for BFA and MFA degrees in Oregon and Maryland, Fish relocated to Chicago in 1985. Her work has been presented in twenty-seven solo exhibitions since 1980, and it has twice been the subject of ‘ten-year’ survey exhibitions; most recently, Julia Fish:bound by spectrum (2019-2020), DePaul Art Museum, Chicago and View (1996),The Renaissance Society at The University of Chicago.. National and international exhibitions include, among others: Galerie Remise, Bludenz, Austria; MAK Center for Art and Architecture/Schindler House, Los Angeles; Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Tang Museum, Skidmore College; the 2010 Whitney Biennial; and most recently, The Long Dream, MCA Chicago. Fish’s work is included in the collections of, among others: The Art Institute of Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Denver Art Museum; DePaul Art Museum, Chicago; Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art; Museum of Modern Art, New York; and Yale University Art Gallery. Research support includes grants and fellowships from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts/Painting, Richard H. Driehaus Foundation, Cal Arts-Alpert/Ucross Foundation, and competitive faculty research awards from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Julia Fish is Professor Emerita, School of Art and Art History, and UIC Distinguished Professor.

Miyoko Ito (1918-1983) was a Chicago artist known for enigmatic watercolors, oil paintings, and lithographs.

After returning to California, Ito attended the University of California, Berkeley. During World War II, she and her husband were interned at Tanforan Racetrack near San Francisco under President Franklin Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066. After release, Ito studied at Smith College and The School of The Art Institute of Chicago, settling in Hyde Park; she was tangentially involved with the Imagists. In 1977, she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and in 1980, The Renaissance Society held a retrospective of Ito’s paintings.

Also ⁠by @missroseneditions @blind.magazine⁠ — a serious consideration of 'Lorraine O’Grady: Both/And' @brooklynmuseum with catalog copublished by @dancing_foxes⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Miss Rosen writes:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ At the age of 45, Lorraine O’Grady emerged as an artist fully formed when she made her first public appearance as “Mlle Bourgeoise Noire” in 1980 at Just Above Midtown, the center of New York’s Black avant-garde run by revolutionary gallerist Linda Goode Bryant. Dressed in a handmade gown comprised of 180 pairs of white gloves, a sparkling tiara, and beauty queen sash, O’Grady entered the gallery bearing flowers and a cat-o’-nine-tails whip.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ The flowers were for the audience, the whip she saved for herself in a performance that decried the respectability politics that consumed the Black American middle class desperately striving to find some semblance of protection from the horrors of systemic racism. But O’Grady, the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, knew such ideas were illusions at best. As she whipped herself, she spoke verse, her poem ending in a firm declaration: “Black Art Must Take More Risks!” ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ O’Grady wasn’t wrong, and she wasn’t afraid – even if it meant her work would go without proper recognition for more than 40 years. Now 86, the artist is finally being given her proper due with her first museum solo exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, entitled 'Both/And' which just ended, and the publication of two collections of her work from Duke University and Dancing Foxes Press.…⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Read the full review via linkinbio.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Edited with text by @catherinejanetmorris & @invisible.flaneuse ⁠⁠ Preface by @annepasternak⁠⁠ Text by Harry Burke, @malik_julian_g @zoe.whitley @ssparlingwilliams ⁠⁠ Timeline by A.L.
