I think of this movie often. It's all kinds of brilliant.

Very cool getting to see some of Isabelle Brourman’s court sketches in person at the Untitled Art Fair in Houston. They feel like they handily place a firm stamp both in art history & in American history. Great, thought-provoking work that elevates an overlooked art form & reframes current events.

Without talking specifically about this, Tim Kaminski & I described our lived experiences with this phenomenon (link below). As a non-chrononormative artist, I am really feeling this article. And while there are additional elements of ageism in the arts, I'm happy to have a word for this part now.

Have been thinking about continuing relevance of Dada artist George Grosz's political critiques. His scathing 1926 painting "Eclipse of the Sun" portrays alliance between feckless political & military leaders and capitalist financiers. Grosz, branded "degenerate" by the Nazis, fled to the US in 1933

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

This whole thread.

New Between Two Artists talk with an old Good/Bad Art Collective cohort Tim Kaminski. Tim's in DC & gives his take on the nat. guard there. We talk about the G/B show at the @nashersculpture.bsky.social in '13, remember a mutual friend, trade life lessons + a lot more. *Viewer discretion advised.*

One of several new editions to The Monster Oracle, a project I've been working on for a really long time now. Felt good to get it out and on paper.

I've been creating in-depth artist talks for 2 yrs now & there's definitely been a growth arc: from discomfort w/being in front of the camera to having 0 editing experience to just having a loose idea of it, & each conversation has been a gift. The complete collection: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Heads up for anyone close enough to catch one of these screenings of the documentary Gowanus Current! And if you haven't watched the conversation I recorded with Jamie Courville, be sure to add that to your list. @jamiecourville.bsky.social @gowanuscurrent.bsky.social

Environment plays a big role in the creation of art for both Mai Snow and myself. We explore that in this new talk on YouTube along with the meaning of the word "labor" and the hands-on, materiality side of art-making, something that I think will have new importance as we move into the age of AI.

Yup.

I was looking back at some collages I made last winter and this one called "Paint the Town Red" made me of think of all the current TX redistricting flexing/unconstitutional BS/blatant power grab. Read more about it (and others like it) here: lisarawlinson.substack.com/p/sometimes-...

The gilding of the White House goes beyond simple garishness/misuse of public funds. This talk touches on the Plain Style of American architecture & its role in the early days of the U.S. I'd love to see a more in-depth art historical exploration of this from some art historians out there. Anyone?

This is really screwed up. As a student, someone who worked in educational publishing for 25+ years, a parent, and family member to countless teacher and school admin, I've seen/experienced plenty of examples of horrible teachers right alongside the great ones. But this is a new level of concern.

My, what a big gavel you have. When our state bird—the mocking bird—outlives its usefulness it perches in trees blasting its mimicry through the night at full volume trying desperately to attract female attention. No one's buying it then. No one's buying it now. This is all just a self jerk-off.

We are heading back to DCTV's Firehouse Cinema for two more screenings in their ICYMI series. I hope you will join us. www.dctvny.org/s/firehousec...

I take heart from stories like these: "Especially when the world is so unstable and insecure, I think that art is a place of reflection, resistance and imagination"... "They are seeing a doom-and-gloom world presented to them and [think], 'Why not go and create a life that is meaningful'"

New artist talk w/ Mai Snow just dropped on YouTube! As Mai put it this felt like just "vibing" & it's always a great feeling when you find another kindred spirit. We go deep into the word "labor" & how that connects to their childhood in Russia & as an immigrant in the U.S. + lots more!

CARTOON OF THE DAY 🇺🇸

This whole map issue just underlines the problem with representative government tbh. If an imaginary line can make that much of a difference, and I've felt powerless in my state and over my own autonomy my whole adult life while my reps are hostile towards me, then no. They are not the boss of me.

TX floods deaths: 135, incl. 37 children. Who/what/when/how is still being revealed but one thing is clear: it was a complete system failure at all levels. Guess what party dominates in TX? Republicans are largely responsible for those deaths & this pageantry will not make us forget. Nice try.

I've lived w/gerrymandering in TX my whole adult life. Some of the district maps I've lived under have been so ridiculous, tiny little filaments drawn around the college in the college town I lived in & then linked to a big ball of Amarillo, >300 miles away. It's not new but the threat of arrest is.
