Feeling a little dense - but that's ok.

Today, I walked around downtown and went to MOCA. I did not realize that it was Thursday - Art Walk night so I went to see some exhibits.

Reflections

I went to see the Marlene Dumas exhibit and I realized that I am a bit of a prude. There were a couple of pieces I liked like the series "Black Drawings" and her collages, like "3 Women and I" but most of the pieces were a little too dark for me. She has one piece called "Don't Talk To Strangers" that I really liked which was another collage which looked like she took pages from a guestbook and tore it up and took the interesting bits to make this work. However, back to the dark side, there were pieces that were based on the Abu Ghraib photos and some pieces that were pretty pornographic. Hence, my prude statement. I was not disturbed by them, I just did not care for them.

Most of the pieces I liked were from the permanent collection. They have fabulous pieces like that giant Barbara Krueger "It's a Small World, But not if You Have To Clean It," which is appropriate for the time we are living in - brownouts, rolling blackouts, gas shortage, water shortage, etc. etc. etc.

However, there were moments where I just did not get what was going on. There was one piece that was basically Malevich's "Black Square" except bigger and not in the top corner of a room. I don't know. I did not get it. Then I went to Redcat to check out Haegue Yang's Asymmetric Quality. I did not understand this one either. It was a series of blinds, red lights, lights and fans. I read the interview with Yang but I still had no idea what was supposed to be happening or what I was supposed to be feeling. Then there was a series of loud LOUD drumming that started playing and I still did not get it! Maybe I'm not supposed to get it. I just have no clue!

Now, I'm home and freaking out about the movie, Twilight. You should check out Stephanie Meyer's series. It is hit and miss but that should not stop you from reading it. The kids LOVE it! Especially if you love vampires and werewolves, you'll probably like this series.

Twilight

This is why I'm excited! Peter Facinelli is going to play Carlisle! Am I the only person who actually watched and enjoyed "Fastlane"? I think he would make a great Carlisle. Also, the kid who played Cedric is playing Edward! Edward! It's perfect. I am not sure who's side I'm on, Edward or Jacob's. Ok, I know, I'm on team Edward! He's a vampire! I cannot help it! Anyway, that's about it! I can't wait for December!

and I do like Banksy's work. I wish I were in London to witness this. I wasn't much into the elephant he painted here in L.A. (except I do love Miss C's "elephant butt" Vox banner - lol) Anyway, I am so glad for Clipmarks because someone posted a comment with the link to pinewooddesign.co.uk. Thanks by the way fellow clipmarker! Amazing photos if you click on the link are at the bottom of the page. cool beans!

The Cans Festival - Banksy street exhibition

Banksy had noticed an abandoned access road. Eurostar, which no longer owns the tunnel, helped to put his brainwave into action

I just wanted to share that my friend, Myleen, will be having her first solo show on July 28th. Hopefully, you can come out an support her. She is an amazing photographer. If I were rich, I would definitely buy her work. Alas, I am poor so I just enjoy them when I see them and favorite them on Flickr.

Here is a link to SRAlocal.

Mark your calendars!
