Barnett Newman, Broken Obelisk, Seagram Building, New York, New York, 1963-1967

[gregdotorg]

seeing photos of Barnett Newman's Broken Obelisk being installed reminded me of this 1980 photo I bought and then never posted, because it just seemed like fuel on the fire, but the fire's been stoked plenty without it, and it feels dishonest to not point out that there were white supremacist nazis in Houston in 1979, and that no one, probably including the deMenils who commissioned him, knew Philip Johnson was a nazi too.

I illustrated some of the tectonic landscapes inspired by N. K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy: Volcanic fumes, smoke columns, fire on the land, sparks coming from below. They are available as prints on https://luxmeteora.com/prints-postcards

tfw you have a crush on the woman who destroyed your hometown and now she stops by the infirmary where you work every day to bicker incomprehensibly with her ex-metamour-slash-baby-daddy who also triggered the apocalypse while he slowly turns to stone and is eaten by a rock person. but sometimes you just gotta shoot your shot ig

Schaffa in The Fifth Season vs Schaffa in The Obelisk Gate gives the same energy as “How my parents were with me” vs “How my parents are with their grandchildren”

finished the broken earth trilogy. think i have to lay face down on the ground for a while

Have been blitzing through The Broken Earthtrilogy by N.K. Jemisin and may I just say this woman is a fucking powerhouse of a writer. Rarely have I been so upset at characters without wanting to stop reading. Like, I'm mad at them as people, while being totally engrossed in the story. GRIPPING.

I took a hardhat from the groundbreaking of Yoshio Taniguchi's MoMA and got him to autograph it at the dedication three years later. I think he successfully did was he was asked to do there.

A playlist for you, fellow fans of the Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin. These are songs I was listening to while reading the books, or songs that remind me of the story. I love these books so much.

(one day I'll be able to complete and record the song I wrote about these books.)

When fantasy books are written by talented women of colour, they gonna be good. When the trilogy of books wins the Hugo award for best novel three years running you Know they gonna be good. When you cannot take a breath between the end of one book and the beginning of the next you know! they! are! Good!!! The women in these books are strong, and crazy, and queer, and stupid, and fierce, and complicated, and heartbroken, and tender, and I loved them all. This is an impossible interesting world built of stone and catastrophe. The writing is a masterpiece and all the awards were very well deserved. N. K. Jemisin's Broken Earth Trilogy blew my goddamn mind.
