UPCOMING SHOWS AND INSPIRATIONS

All

There are some great shows up and some that are coming that deal with artists who CLEARLY expressed their vision. Here are a few! It takes a lot of work to show what you intend, and I believe (at least in my case when I was a student) that I thought I had to wait or "grow" into my vision of the world- that is NOT true. You have EVERYTHING you need at your fingertips right now- you just have to grasp it and scream out what you want to say! (See Wojnarowicz quote below.)

GO TO THE Pierogi 2000 DRAWING flat files: http://flatfiles.pierogi2000.com/- you can search a HUGE database of contemporary drawings by MEDIUM!!!! And subject or tag.

Whitney. http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/SingularVisions check out the Paul Chan piece!!!

The New Museum is showing George Condo-they are free on Thurs night until 830pm-ish.

“Going south of the border I found myth to be very much alive and with it the sense of connection to the ground people walked on…Popular culture still carries the most spiritual reverberation. As adults we are pressured to leave myth and thus spirituality behind…” – David Wojnarowicz

Some artists for soulful exploration: Charlene Von Heyl, Otto Dix (war), Oliver Herring (look up his TASK site- here's one entry- http://westbanktaskparty.wordpress.com/).

Have a ball this week!! Can't wait to see your worlds exploding onto paper!
