Street Art Street Life: From the 1950's to Now
Bronx Museum, New York
September 14, 2008-January 25, 2009
A show about art created on the street is now open at the Bronx Museum. Filled with my favorite black and white street photographs from the 50's and 60's. I love the spontenaety that comes witrh using the street as your studio. This photo by Friedlander that is in the exhibition is from a fabulous series of like pictures he completed in the late 60's.

Jerry Uelsmann: Just Suppose
Modernbrook Gallery, Palo Alto, CA
September 5-November 4, 2008
I can't believe I forgot about ol' Jerry for a bit! He has been a fave of mine since I was quite a bit younger. But when you start going to school for art your professors want you to explore tons of different artists and not to focus on your famous faves (rightly so). But here I am again, drooling over some newer pieces he has hanging in California right now. Uelsmann's photographs are so seductive to me, and even more so because he still uses traditional darkroom techniques. Sometimes when I look at his images I desperately want to dive into his magnificent surreal world he creates. I was mainly drawn to this particular print as I have never seen it before. The lighting is luscious and the integration of images is seamless (as always). I have been having many dreams like this one lately!

Louise Bourgeois
Guggenheim, New York
June 27-September 28, 2008
A friend of mine was telling me about these rooms that Louise Bourgeois had designed at the Gugge right now. His brother had gone to see the exhibition last week and was in total awe of these creations she was calling "cells". When I viewed them on the museum's website I too was in awe. Each space that she has constructed is filled with found objects that call to you with great intrigue. Depiction of the human condition through the display and placement of objects is part of what I am exploring in my current photo project. Thus, I was greatly attracted to these sculptures. Each object has its meaning, given to it by its owner. And each viewer could place a plethora of varying meanings based on their own experiences.

The Louise Bourgeois is so aesthetically pleasing to me, I want to lick it.
I also really dig your bus graveyard pic and think maybe you should print a whole series.
Have you seen Terry Gilliam's TIDELAND? If not, watch it and I'll buy you 5 crappy bagelcaca coffee's if you don't find it inspiring and aligned with your work.
P>S. check out my glob, i posted a flier for thursday
