The movies

I watched the movie "Knowing" yesterday and I did not like it. It was to strange for me. It was exciting at the beginning but then it just got creepier at the end. It was even scary which I did not like. I was not expecting it to turn out like it did.

It's hard being a mother





So many responsibilities:


Feed them.


Bathe them.


Help them brush their teeth.


Clothe them.


Brush their hair.


Tend to their every need.




It's also fun:


Take them to the park.


Play games with them.


Draw with them.


Let them draw and paint on their own.


Teach them their ABCs, numbers, words.


Teach them every thing I know.


Watch them learn and play.

House of Mind

Here is an article about Pat Graney and his work including, sculpture, installation, video, and choreographed performances. This is a tribute to memory for the artist, her mother, and the lost bit of America. Her work first occupied in the theater and main spaces of DiverseWorks. The whole installation has been moved to the main gallery. The article goes on and talk about several pieces of hers and tells about how it relates to her mother and her other memories.
The critic, theorist, and sometimes curator, David Hickey, wrote in one of his essays, "...three decades of art theory and art history have destroyed our understanding of art practice."
He also says that the young artists now has lost the sound footing of history(as he called it).
He has a list of ten that supports his statement.
1)Pluralism
2) Self-Indulgence
3)Rousseau.
4)Suzi Gablik
5)Let's take some responsibility
6.)Jean Baudrillard, in The Conspiracy of Art
7.)www.youtube.com
8) Lane Relyea
9)Surrealism
10)Tracey Emin
