what is art to you???

january 14th, we went to MOMA for our 1st studio class to see Martin Puryear and to basically to start a new year and new semester with lots of inspiration and new ideas. well, i think we all had some different ideas about what we saw at the museum. I think I saw a lot of cool stuff and didn't want to leave when the museum was closing. it's such a shame that I'm living here in new york and rarely find myself really taking advantage of it.

we all went back to the studio to have an discussion about what we thought about the works. so here's konstantin's sketch we thought it'd generate a good discussion. (konstantin's not registered yet so i'm posting this for him.)

"my overall impression on this museum visit physically made me sick. my question is: what is this world coming to? our new generation is exposed to degenerate exhibitions loaded with psychedelic mind altering understanding of art and beauty: though i appreciate martin puryear's craft (carpentry) it doesn't change my mind about the art thats being displayed: the only thing i enjoy about moma is the architecture of the building: and the sylliuetes of people that fill the space. MY QUESTION IS: WHAT WILL ART BE LIKE IN 20 YEARS FROM TODAY???

MOMA, 2008"

Advise Posters

came across a post about graduates from University College Falmouth making posters to give advice to younger students. each poster contains a short message such as: "collaborate" "let go of what you think you know" "be yourself" and ..... it's pretty cool what they have to say and the posters are interesting too.

"kenny, that's kenny" - Michel Gondry

January 24, 2008 — March 01, 2008
18 Wooster Street, New York

guys, sorry for the lack of updates. hope everyone's had a good time off. yesterday manu invited me to join her and greg at this panel with Michel Gondry, the maker of "eternal sunhine of the spotless mind" and "the science of sleep," in soho. it was an event arranged by indieWIRE. This French director was quite an amazing and funny individual. He was also sharing about how he came about to become who he is today. As a kid, Michel Gondry said he was always quite but always interested in observing creating little things. He also said he was lucky to have his parents' support for his creative works.

on January 24th, his new film "Be kind Rewind" is going to have an exhibit at Deitch.
