Maira Kalman. What can I say? This woman is a genius of the quotidian. Everything she does is perfect. I have imaginary conversations with her in my head. On the decision of what to draw, she explains that she looks for things that are a little bit funny and a little bit heartbreaking at the same time. I think she and I agree that that is where the spark of life's meaning can be found. By all means look at her blog for the New York Times at the link above. It will probably change your life.
This blog documents a participatory art event in progress. Part I Consideration: Each participant gives me an object in exchange for a drawing of that object. Part II Distribution: I will distribute the collected objects in public places in the vicinity of the gallery. I will post pictures and directional coordinates on the blog and invite you to visit these re-situated objects in person. This project is part of Glendale Temporary Exhibitions (GATE) and is curated by Tucker Neel.
