scraps of paper
When I read Donald Kuspit’s The End of Art I wrote a lot of notes about the text on little scraps of paper and bookmarked the pages.* I am giving the book to a friend and just pulled out all of the pieces of paper and was reading them. They struck me as interestingly art-poetic. [...]
New Years in New Orleans
New Orleans. We were there for New Year’s visiting friends and definitely had to take in what few Prospect.1 works were available to be seen over the holidays. First, some thoughts on NO. The last time I was there was July of 2003. Yeh, just before Katrina. I have connections to NO going back a [...]
Creating a global practice- with a conscience.
Today though I thought I might further discuss the conundrum of desiring a global art practice (and a global experience) while practicing a small footprint on this earth. As you may recall I was invited to participate in a project in the netherlands and ,my answer to that was to create a project that could [...]
Why so little value on a human life
I have encountered (in the course of 24 hours) two write ups on the small value placed on human life. First from Transportation Alternatives magazine, Reclaim the Streets: Under the current transportation paradigm in New York, human life and health is traded for mobility, economics and other factors… More than 250 New Yorkers are killed [...]
Iraq War Ends? Patriot Act Repealed? Bush Indicted for High Treason?!?
It may be a hoax, but the New York Times paper and website being distributed and posted today has some shockingly simple and beautiful ideas. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, the paper has this to say, on George Bush’s indictment for treason: “The death and economic collapse that resulted has been completely devastating to [...]
We do have a voice.
There have been a lot of great write ups about the election of President Obama, so I wasn’t going to add anything to the mix. I just thought there were a lot of people already saying great things. I particularly enjoyed the Slate column, Thomas Friedman‘s New York Times, op-ed. “Finishing Our Work,” and the [...]
Things I love, Things I think about
I basically spent today talking. Which makes me wonder why I would want to continue to do so, although this is in the written form. I wanted to continue because I am pretty excited about what I was doing today and wanted to note some things down before I forget about them… First, I spent [...]
Friday – a foto
We Eat Light, originally uploaded by B Tal. Just wanted to put something nice out there.
It’s about passion, and love.
I have a question for you- Do you love what you are doing? I mean really really enjoy (practically) every minute of it? Do you, at the end of each day think, I did good, and I love what I did today? If you don’t why not? Or more importantly, why are you not doing [...]
Yup I did it again – DIY Public Art
A couple of friends of mine were encouraging me to write down all the stuff I learned while doing my public art project (heck they taught me half of it) and to get it out there. Sure, I could have written the posts on this blog and categorized them, but, well, I thought it needed [...]

What would happen if you ALWAYS told the truth? What would happen if you admitted when you were wrong, EVERY TIME? Thanks for the inspiration.

Since I am hoping the new plan up for a vote is the New New Deal: “Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.” –Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Daily blip : interesting people
I have to thank my friend, Steve Lambert for introducing me to this interesting person (and I mean interesting in the good way!) Steve is working on a book with Stephen Duncombe about artists measuring the impact of their work when they are taking on an activist role. (Is that proprietary info Steve? Let me [...]
Another artist statement
Seriously, I think this is statement like, 200. I could give you a more accurate count it I could connect to my documents, which I can’t right now (its a medium length not very interesting story). Anyway, I wanted to write more about the economy of the arts and the Damien Hirst sale & WAGE, [...]
Daily blip : environmental euphemism
Haze – It sounds kind of dreamy. Or sultry sometimes. Mostly it is particulate matter in the air – a hard to get rid of pollutant that causes health problems and further exacerbates severe weather. What else could we call it? To find out more about your local haze: http://airnow.gov/
Daily blip : interesting people
Yeh, you got off lightly this week – two of the daily blips went missing, one due to an early morning trip to Philly and the next day due to the cold I am fighting off. Today I am conquering the cold by attempting to ignore it (mostly). So I have some really amazing people [...]

An open letter to NY State Senator Jeff Klein, who yesterday called me an f—ing assh-le after nearly hitting me with his Mercedes The state of NYC streets is appalling. The very fact that a state senator is part of the problem is – somehow – not that surprising. I think State Senator Jeff Klein [...]
Daily Blip : Quote
Many of you know that I admire Wangari Maathai greatly. Here is a quote that I use at the bottom of my signature: “You must not deal only with the symptoms. You have to get to the root causes by promoting environmental rehabilitation and empowering people to do things for themselves. What is done for [...]
