Scanning
Having a blast scanning old slides and transparencies – as much as one can. With this image, I can smell the oil paint…
This is in 1983

Art as religion
Instead of First Holy Communion, instead of a Bar Mitzvah, there should be a solo show. Instead of wafers and wine, its wine and cheese. I cherish the sensibility of art as religion, but maybe not at all in the religious sense. Just that in art we have our cosmogeny, our way of understanding the universe, life, and death.
Found a small bit: September 2005 Todd Gibson wrote about Gregory Amenoff’s response to artist queries in Art on Paper. Gibson’s summary read as follows:
-Artists drive the bus (not critics, curators, art historians, etc.)
-Let your studio be a sanctuary
-Don’t be afraid to do dumb things in the studio
-Keep away from art fairs (“Instead visit a museum and spend time in the wing housing art from centuries past. You will be rejuvenated not demoralized.”)
-Support your fellow artists as they support you
-Read biographies of artists
-A life in art is a long race not a short sprint
I have an old casette tape I made of Nick Marsicano speaking to some students, once, in 1983…. something to the effect that we needed to look at each other’s work, visit each other’s studios – in short; be involved with one another. Funny, though, artists are so often NOT that way; but carping, competitive, and just outright ungenerous.
I’m going to keep thinking on this issue; and maybe find some more to post on the issue.

Installed the show
I loaded up the car on Friday, and drove down to Brooklyn. Peter Wallace and I installed the show. The Brooklyn Artist Gym is a really fantastic place. I can’t understand why its not more populated and used by artists… its a great resource. The space has a cool alt feel to it; some nice work being done.

Catalog/brochure for show printing
Graphic designer, Susanna Ronner, is pretty particular about details, and wanted to make sure that when printing the new brochure for my upcoming show, that I was at the printers for a press check. The printer, Fort Orange Press is a great outfit. First, Tom White showed me around… they still have late 19th century equipment… some standing presses for books were so beautiful, I could have put them in my car that day. Tom’s passion is for repairing fishing rods and reels, but he’s sensative to the beauty of the printing equipment. The press check went well, with a few adjustments to the piece, and I was on my way. The piece is beautiful; I really couldn’t be more happy. The post cards came today, so I’ve got a big project of addressing envelopes ahead.

Blogging is Good
Someone just sent me a blog, about how most bloggers are just basically writing the most mundane things. True. But then, a lot of good stuff is being written, too. So, while this is just a test, be sure to check back often to see the mind-blowing things being written here.
