suday summarie v16

a quick list of 5 things to summarize this weeks
inspirations/ findings & doings:


seonna hong's art makes me smile (her book animus is one of my favorites!)
so when i randomly came up on a piece in Culver City,
i swooned.

the perfect balance of sad/sweet.

several friends of mine had work up in the 'where is God' art show held at Remy's (on Temple) in LA,
so of course, i had to go and support!

given the subject matter, i wasn't sure what to expect in terms of art and ambiance...
i was pleasantly surprised to find the artwork interesting and the scene upbeat.

during the 'gallery' hours of the evening, the dj played cuts like common's 'the light' and tupac's 'changes'

i particularly liked this (snowboard) piece:


some pieces were more thought-provoking:

and the rest of the night included musical performances and various acts (spoken word, etc).

it got crowded!

too bad i wasn't able to stay longer.

3. muzeo
on tuesday i got to check out the muzeo in anaheim for the first time.
they had an exhibit on frogs, which was fun and, in my opinion, very well curated.


i learned a lot
and made a few friends:


my good friend sonia and i went back to the norton simon museum (we're both former employees)
to attend the COSMIC DANCE OF SHIVA, ART, SCIENCE and PERSPECTIVES on NATARAJA
event on friday night.

i was wowed by the information presented
and also by Dr. Sharada Srinvasan's interpretation of the material,
and translation into dance.

too bad i wan't able to photograph any of it
(no photography allowed during the performance)
i did, however, have a chance to snap these:
oh, norton simon memories!

5. carne asada fries
need i say more?
