Busy Busy Busy.
I wrote a 2,000 word essay on the Art of Edward Colver for the book Blight at the End of the Funnel, the 200 page catalog for Edward Colver’s Retrospective Survey at the Grand Central Arts Exhibition Space in Santa Ana. The show opens next Saturday night there and it should be a great time. I spoke for a podcast on Edward at the GCA auditorium today – a small but good crowd was on hand.
I wrote a semi-erotic essay on the work of photographer Dave Naz for his latest collection of erotic photography, Girls of Seduction, whose working title mentioned “Lolitas” and so I wrote an essay that discusses the Lolita dynamic and then legally, they are in a bit of hot water using that term, so they change the title, but my essay stays the same – but this is one book where few if any will read it – although they have it translated into French, Italian, Spanish and German.
Here is a future-viewing essay on the art of Robert Rauschenberg that I penned for the July issue of ArtScene Magazine. I like Rauschenberg, but I think his legacy is entering a problematic phase.
Here is a recent photo of my girlfriend and I enjoying a Dodger game on Friday in the front row.
The new issue of Coagula (#81) is out – distribution takes place all next week. Busy Busy Busy.
