esse trabalho era pra essa coletiva

that broken work was for this group show that my friends howard dyke and ben judd are putting up in london next week. erika, shay and tonico are also in it. i'll have to show something else

essa escultura rachada era pra essa coletiva q meus amigos howard e ben estao organizando em londres semana q vem. erika, shay e tonico tb participam. vou ter q mostrar outra coisa

enviadas pelo leitor / reader's submission

essas aqui foram submetidas pelo meu amigo e colega mark pearson, leitor fiel (espero) do blog! imagino q nao estejam na orientacao correta, mas me pareceu q realca a semelhanca formal de composicao qdo vistas assim de lado, entao postei sem corregir. continuem mandando

these were sent by my friend and colleague mark pearson, a faithful reader (i hope) of the blog. i imagine they are not in their right orientation, but it seemed that seeing them sideways highlights the formal similarity between the two compositions, so i posted them without correcting. keep them coming!



this last one is a sculpture by one of his students
essa ultima eh uma escultura de um dos seus alunos

mark's sculpture project:

a ironia da vida eh foda / the irony of it all



a minha nao tem nem um mês e rachou no meio... ok, foi minha 1a tentativa em porcelana. e a irnoia eh q a escultura chama 'iconoclasta'

mine is not even a month onld and already cracked in half... it was my 1st attempt at porcelain and the irony is that it's called 'iconoclast'

no jornal da semana passada: uma linda ceramica egipcia de 4000 anos

eu me lembro de quando vi um trabalho desses pela 1a vez, numa feira de arte ha uns 10 ou 12 anos atrás... e foi justamente no contexto da feira q percebi como a obra era radical! adoro. ela eh a rainha do gore-art

i remember when i saw a work like this for the 1st time, in an art fair some 10 or 12 yrs ago. and it was precisely in the context of the fair that it dawned on me how radical the work was. i love it. she's the gore-art queen.

my former boss robert wilson recently sent me a book of his 'voom portraits', which are video portraits of actors, artists etc. i love this one of willem dafoe as a sort of freddy krueger character.

meu ex-chefe bob wilson me mandou um livro dos seus 'voom portraits', q são video-retratos de atores e artistas etc. eu adoro esse do willem dafoe como uma especie de freddy krueger
