Happy Mother Day!

Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers and to all of you who have mothers, for it is you who will be doing the spoiling of mothers today. Let us all have a good day.

I’m taking my family to the international Map exhibit at the Walters Art museum downtown today. My mom and dad raised me on maps and Nat. Geographic. Mom will love it. Dad will too. I can remember on my mom and dad’s laps and looking at the pictures in the National Geographic when I was a wee one. I’ve always love the photos and the juxtaposition that crops up in unexpected places. So maps and geography have been in my family for a while. In fact, it was my mother who first told me about this exhibit. She will be h today.
is making her soon-to-be famous chicken-bacon salad sandwiches for lunch. This is a snazzy recipe we found at a sandwich shoppe in London earlier this spring. Marvelous.

Weather is a refreshing 65F and the sun is out.
And I just remembered that it is my maternal grandfather’s birthday as well. He and I had a birthday 5 days apart. I don’t remember how old he would’ve been this year. I’ll have to ask my mother.

Tiger Translate Museum 2008

admin — Sun, 11 May 2008 05:42:19 +0000

I have been waiting impatiently for over a month now for this, and it is rather unfortunate my mandatory family dinner with 50 other Lawlets fell on the same day as Tiger Translate Museum 2008 launch party. I didn’t think it was wise telling my mum I was gonna skip yet another family event - I have been missing for so long, I didn’t realise I’m an auntie to 12.5 nieces and nephews.

Tiger Translate Museum 2008 is one unique museum that brings Art to the people, and into the streets, literally. From 9 May until 30 June, both Club Street and Ang Siang Hill will lend their walls to Tiger Asian Kinetic Artiste (AKA) artworks. The participating shops include Anthropology, Asylum, BooksActually, Egg3, Exit, Fred Perry, Le Carillon de L’Angelus, Red Wolves and Style: Nordic.

I’ll be sure to head down this coming week to view the artworks, and I recommend you do to. It is with great pride that I herewith mention my very own art director, Funkbuilders, is a AKA too. Check out his brilliant wall installation at Asylum.

Cai Guo-Qiang: I Want To Believe

admin — Sun, 11 May 2008 03:42:32 +0000

There’s such a lot to see at the Met, MoMA and other New York museums at the moment but one not-to-be-missed show is at the iconic Guggenheim. Amazing architecture and awe-inspiring art in one space, so I had to go and see it for myself.
Inspired by a car bomb occupies the rotunda of the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan, New York and is the initial installation of Cai Guo-Qiang’ s exhibition: I want to Believe. White cars tumble skywards while lasers shoot out of the vehicles, turning an image of destruction into one of beauty.
Further along the gallery a pack of wolves hurtles into a glass wall and a fishing boat pierced with 3,000 arrows is suspended from the ceiling. Visitors can walk among the exhibits, including the life-size clay figures in the Rent Collection Courtyard or even go on a river trip in an animal hide raft.
Most of the works were shown first at other galleries but there is something about the unique space of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum that is superbly suited to Cai’s work.
A large part of the experience for me was amazement at the staging of the exhibits so be sure to visit the website to see how some of them were installed.

The exhibition runs through May 28 2008 at The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

Ambivalent In Atlantaâ€¦?

admin — Sun, 11 May 2008 01:46:09 +0000

It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? Time is really flying, which I guess is goodâ€”no hurdles slowing down time is always appreciated. We’ve already been to Antioch and back, which was both fun and relaxing, but also difficultâ€”Alex cried so hard when she had to say goodbye to her friends again, and it just broke my heart. But kids are so resilient, aren’t they? Only one week back and already she’s involved in intense middle school drama with an entirely different group of kids.

So the kids hung out with friends and I got some free time to meet up with some of my girlfriends at Hickory Hollow Mall and even spent an afternoon BY MYSELF at Cheekwood (a mansion/museum in the area), where even I got a little emotional (or a lot). My parents took us all to a High Kings concert at the Ryman Auditorium & Museum, in Nashville, which was great, and Justin fell asleep in the isle like he always does.

I’m getting a little sad now as I write this â€“ maybe taking this job in Atlanta wasn’t the best idea. I’m starting to regret the fact that my kids aren’t going to grow up with their grandparents down the street from their house like I was able to do. I really felt like I needed to go, though. The job promotion was a big part of it, but also, everywhere I looked I saw a past that I could not escape from. I was born, raised, educated, married, mothered, and divorced all within a 50 mile radius of Antioch, Tennessee. And I just started to feelâ€¦trapped.

A few days ago I took Alexandra to the High Museum of Art, and just â€“ Wow â€“ even compared to Cheekwood which I love so dearly, this placeâ€¦it’s incomparable, really. And that’s how I feel every time I get in the car and drive to work or to the kids’ schools, or to the mall â€“ and it’s a great feeling. And I’ve been reading a lot about the rich history of the area and geography (can’t wait to go to the Golden Isles).

And these are reasons why we moved here. I guess it’s normal to go back and forth for a while.

Art Party ‘08

admin — Sat, 10 May 2008 17:37:40 +0000

Getting all different types of people from throughout the community to the Palm Springs Art Museum was the goal of this year’s “art party.” And, although we didn’t attend many of the festivities, we wanted to return to see the Altered Books, exhibit that was benefiting both the museum and the Palm Springs Public Library.

We had seen half of the works that had been made from discarded books at the library at the exhibits official opening last month, but didn’t see the rest that were at the museum until today. We still loved Michele Jamison’s “26,000 Words” origami piece made from the 1973 CaledcottMedal winner, “The Funny Little Woman as retold by Arlene Mose” that featured illustrations by Blair Lent; as well as several of the works of Robert Charles Dunahay, especially his World Book Encyclopedia “Knowledge is Power” and Burnt Book.

Another artist whose work was not at the library that we admired was that of Gideon Cohn who has a studio here in the Backstreet Art District. He had done a triptych that represented several elements of his own journey that he then incorporated into the art works of “Air - My Consciousness Emanates to the Far Reaches,” “Fire - My Body Feels the Fire Within,” and “Earth - My Feet are Grounded in Our Sacred Land.” The first piece really spoke to me with its Hebrew symbolism and parts that took the word “withdrawn” (the books had been ‘weeded’ from the library’s collection) and the book, Maps of Consciousness by Ralph Meltzer, to portray the ability of the mind to turn things on and off.

Of course Steve and I got caught up in the “Silent Auction” and bid on both Jamison’s “26,000 Words” and Gideon’s “Air - My Consciousness Emanates to the Far Reaches,” and as it turned out won both. At the end, Gideon then explained how his three pieces were meant to be one, and he asked if we wouldn’t purchase the remaining two at a reduced rate. And, even though I couldn’t imagine where we would hang them all, we decided that for charity we would.

It was an art party alright and now we are the proud owners of two Palm Springs artists to add to our
