Installations shots from my exhibition at @hollandproject.bsky.social Serva Pool Flux May 23–24, 2025.

I've taken the quotes I collected over the years and created a random quote generator. Enjoy.

“Poetry has nothing to do with words, but it needs them.” – Etel Adnan

I was looking for something else and stumbled across this article in the NYTimes from Nov. 10, 1939 (L15). "Class antagonisms, resulting from economic conditions similar to those which led to the establishment of dictatorships in European countries are threatening American democracy,"

“The notion of Quality has been the most effective bludgeon on the side of homogeneity and the modernist and postmodernist periods, despite 25 years of attempted revisionism.”
– Lucy Lippard

In 2019, I made 𝘞𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘚𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺, 𝘕𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘈𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯 as a statewide apology for Utah’s WWII Japanese concentration camp. Using Utah’s hillside letters, I spelled out a monumental, statewide apology. The piece was updated in 2025 to “We Are Sorry, Here We Go Again” to reflect the rhyming of history.

I found a very old project buried on a hard drive. Taking orders for window decals. ;-)

A) CHEAP ART is NOT important
B) CHEAP ART DEFIES, RIDICULES, UNDERMINES & MAKeS obsolete the sanctity of affluent-society economy

I aspire to the level of easy coolness Herbie Hancock has with his Sennheiser Vocoder VSM-201.

Nancy Spero letter to Lucy R. Lippard, October 29, 1971.

Dear Lucy,
The enemies of women's liberation in the arts will be crushed.
Love,
Nancy

Compliance in advance and of all executive orders not yet even issued for NEA applicants. www.arts.gov/grants/legal...

In the "National Endowment for the Arts: A History, 1965–2008," they make an effort to indicate that the NEA was not funded to be government propaganda, and "was not intended to solve a problem, but rather to embody a hope." This new funding directive is tragic. www.arts.gov/sites/defaul...

Not dismantling the agency, but repurposing it for propaganda: "The [NEA] will now prioritize funding initiatives that “celebrate and honor the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence” for its upcoming application cycle for Fiscal Year 2026 (beginning September 2025)."

Given the current attacks on unions federally and locally, I wanted to share a page from a 1917 Montana miners' protest songbook. If history doesn't repeat, it rhymes. ia601806.us.archive.org/12/items/new....

Does anyone know where I can find a recording of "The Druds"—the 1963 art-world super band with Walter De Maria on drums, Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, & Lucas Samaras singing, Larry Poons on guitar, & LaMonte Young playing sax (before quitting the band)? I'm sure it's not good, but I'm still curious.

Art Workers’ Coalition, “DOES MONEY MANIPULATE ART?,” June 1969.
Does money manipulate galleries?
Do galleries manipulate artists?
Do artists manipulate art?
Why do artists allow themselves to be manipulated?
Why do artists allow their work to be translated into money values?

Richard Serra's "Verb List" (1967) is a good way to kick this off, as a reminder to act. He made this list of "actions to relate to oneself, material, place, & process," as a catalyst for artmaking and it's a useful methodological tool to try new things (like Schmidt & Eno's "Oblique Strategies").
