The movie Mountainhead - Ohmygod I was laughing till I was scared shitless…the darkest of comedies, the moment in a nutshell

The specter of AI just highlights the division between good humans and bad humans for me, how much worse could AI be than the corrupt, callous humans we have elevated

You can track painter’s markets by when they decide to make a flower painting, by now many figurative painters have made one

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

Oh no! 🤣

Petty monarchs and their portraits…reminds me of Napoleon III ‘s portrait being rejected from the Salon in 1863, so he set up a Salons de Refusées and inadvertently created a space for Impressionism 🙃

The great William H. Johnson was born on this date in 1901. Four of his portraits from the late 1930s from the Smithsonian American Art Museum, which owns the majority of his work:

Friend in the legal dept at major art institution said they are overwhelmed scrutinizing every aspect of what they do to make sure it doesn’t run afoul of Trump’s EOs and are trying to understand if granting maternity leave could be considered DEI

The closing of the Dept of Ed rhetoric is horrifying, any student who receives Federal financial aid, any student K-12 who receives any special education services, all Title 1 schools, 60% of NYC schools are Title 1, they want to get rid of the funding for all of it 🥺 who are we????

David Lynch with his first painting, 1963

This is great! In the talk that I give about my work I mention that people have often asked me where the grossness or the shamelessness in my work comes from and I click to a slide of Trump’s retweet of his head on Rocky’s Balboa’s body. Like??It’s everywhere !! news.artnet.com/art-world-ar...

FB algorithm thinks I would like this 😭 and would like to spend a lot for it lol

Oil on paper, fast, loose (for me) paintings for larger works that are a longer process

One of the weirder things I have in my ‘archive’ of random Art world stuff is napkins and swizzle sticks with the name ‘Candy’ on them from a small party I was invited to along with other Artists. A party given by Lisa Schiff to celebrate Candy Barasch’s bday 😭 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/a...

too American 😭

For Valentine's Day, this heartfelt & adoring letter from artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres to his lover Ross Laycock, building on Gonzalez-Torres's artwork Untitled (Perfect Lovers): "We are synchronized, now and forever. I love you."

Must read every word, it puts where we are in context with the rest of the world, not a one man dictatorship, but ‘Competitive Authoritarianism’ it also has rays of light, which we sorely need! www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

The thought that scammers never reward their marks and only try to re-scam them gets me out of bed in the morning

I wonder if any art programs at state schools have received guidance on Trump’s anti-‘DEI’ muzzle and what has been communicated to faculty?

Wild www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I wonder if this is partly so that they can cancel financial aid for any student protestors

I know someone who has given their life to USAID, teaching farmers in the developing world to plant sustainable crops, they have told me stories about sleeping on runways to wait for their pick-up planes. It’s an insane job but they do so much good 💔❤️😪

It took me three tries but I figured out how to make a knit piece on paper 🎉

My late uncle, John Dizikes published a brilliant book in 1981 about the origins of American sports and games. I went back and re-read the PT Barnum chapter and it’s a little too relevant 😭

Keith describing the toxic masculinity on the loose tea Reddit is sending me

When will I stop having teacher anxiety dreams? I stopped teaching middle school Art ten years ago 😭 in this one I was yelling ‘I’m going to teach you how to draw!!!’ In the most threatening way 🤣

Keith has the most insane marketplace feed, he’s constantly sending me pics 🤣

Me 5 times a day, ‘this thing I did/bought/said: so Substance coded!’ 😭

with thousands of people panicking over planes and stars in NJ i believe modern man has, through technology, finally completed his transition back to medieval peasant

A person posts a video of a plane calling it a drone, another person says ‘that’s a plane!’ The poster accuses them of ‘gaslighting’ I’m in hell lol

No one talks about how miserable it is to be on the outside of a mass hysteria event in your community ! I’m going to lose my mind! Is this the thing that gets me to move back to NYC?

I did wonder about the man of the people with a $300 backpack 🧐

Can somebody buy this and turn it into an Artist residency 😭 30 min train to NYC, in the same gated neighborhood as Thomas Edison’s home 🙃 www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

Dad on Trump and alternate realities: ‘There’s a Rocky statue on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and a giant mural of John Wayne at the Alamo, neither of these people are real!!‘

My parents have scrambled my careful cross country packing/carry-on travel plans by giving me a Greek cup from 500 BC for my bday TO PUT IN THE OVERHEAD

Heading to Los Angeles for this opening tonight, really excited about this show, a re-thinking of Photorealism by Anna Katz ❤️ www.moca.org/exhibition/o...

Some people have been desperate for someone to dress up their feelings of ‘enough already’ into an argument that passes muster and maybe this does this for them. harpers.org/archive/2024...

Delayed flight so here are my thoughts. Not an art historian or critic. - this started a decade plus ago with “social practice” and relational aesthetics. Art world focusing on previously marginalized art forms and identity groups has been inspiring and necessary. give it some time. ⬇️

Mary Cassatt show at Legion of Honor SF, at which I learn that the prints of the mother and child paintings that hang in maternity wards everywhere are actually almost all of nursemaids and their charges.

It’s like all the 1890s fetishizing in design and mannerist Art finally caught up with our politics, like we’re repealing the 20th century, unlearning all the things we learned

It’s wild how different apps can create different personalities in the user

My plan for the next four years is edibles, a second adolescence, I want to try to be as blissfully uninformed as the people who got us here
