The LACE Art Auction was a great success and my piece is on its way to New Zealand. Greatest thanks to curator Lita Albuquerque (an amazing artist and intrepid world traveler: http://litaalbuquerque.com/) and Executive Director Sarah Russin. now thinking out thoughts in objects, wildernessing in Lake Cachuma, painting in new studio in santa monica (!), reading Milan Kundera's The Curtain and abstractly interpreting the story of Layla and Majnun (as recounted by Nizami in intoxicating prose, deep and rich with pearls, moonlight, wine, thunder), a quick trip to San Diego for family inspiration/ visiting a Wave/ meeting B+, UCLA MFA Thesis Open Studios, Venice ArtBlock, Pasadena Museum of California Art, artist about town!

Telephone, an international arts experiment hosted by Satellite Collective in NY, has launched and it is amazing! To begin the game, three artists of different mediums were given a quote to interpret in their respective art forms. Each of these pieces were then passed on to another batch of artists, to be reinterpreted and passed on to another batch of artists, and so on and so forth. The project grew exponentially huge and now the map tracing all 315 (!) projects from all over the world looks like a genetic tree of life... which, in a way, it is, if creativity is the medium of evolution.

Now back in Israel, I have a chance to share images & recent artworks from my monthlong artist in residency at Can Serrat, in the powerful Montserrat mountains of Catalonia. http://www.canserrat.org/ My project focused on Federico Garcia Lorca's notion of duende, the indefinable quality that bursts forth in inspired moments, particularly flamenco. Traveling in Andalucia before the residency, I gathered flamenco inspiration and collage materials, salvaging small items from flea markets, thrift shops, and sidewalks. My muses, two old black and white photographs I found in a flea market in Sevilla, were toted on top of my backpack, in buses, on trains, until I reached El Bruc, the town that is home to Can Serrat. I was extremely fortunate to work with/ share space with such beautiful and talented artists at the residency: Megan Broughton http://cargocollective.com/meganbroughton Becca Cusworth http://rcusworth.com/home.html Ega Carreon Clare McDonald Cass Palmer http://caspalmer.wix.com/cassandra-lyn-palmer My artworks: my works in progress sights & inspirations in & around can serrat open studios/ alizia en el pais de maravillosos performance art piece
just finished attending the second annual kristeva circle conference at vanderbilt university in tennessee. so much philosophical critical analytical inspiration!
full of stimulation, my mind whirred, fractal as romanesco, craving the release of canvas, but. more travels to come. pleasure (jouissance?) delayed. http://www.kristevacircle.org http://www.kristeva.fr/web/2014/KristevaCircle2014.pdf |
