Courthouse Confessions -- "A dog can take a pee and I can't. I guess they have more rights then I do. Right. I'm watching a cop ride a horse taking a dump that I got to ride over on my bicycle and I can't take a piss on a pile of trash. You know. Fuck."

Weird photos from a nuclear test explosion in the Nevada desert. I'm posting this only as an excuse to mention that I met a guy who was the first man dropped back onto Bikini Atoll after the hydrogen bomb test in 1952. He was collecting sensors that had been left there, but they were all vaporized. Yikes. He said he knew Teller, but I was too shocked by the whole thing to ask any interesting questions.

Was having a discussion with the cat about marketable skills, what was she thinking about for her college major, just a general career planning discussion. I told her she should focus on something she likes to do, and then practice at it. So far this is what she has come up with.

"Progress"
on view July 11, 2008 - November 30, 2008

“Progress” brings together works from the Whitney’s permanent collection, highlighting connections between art and visions of utopia. In the early part of the twentieth century, artists and architects like Joseph Albers, Naum Gabo, and Frederick Kiesler carried the revolutionary aims of the European avant-garde to America. The utopian impulse of these artists found its parallel in America’s optimism in developing new technology and
the rise of consumer culture--advancements registered in the emergence of Minimalism and Pop Art in the 1950s and ’60s.

This presentation includes works in a variety of media at once representing and critiquing the social and aesthetic goals of Modernism. Artists such as Dan Flavin, Ad Reinhardt, and Sherrie Levine recorded the myriad responses, both hopeful and critical, to the transformation in American culture brought on by the influx of utopian ideals. Other artists address the linear advancement of modernity from a distance, neither celebrating nor critiquing the changes it has brought, but tracking its effects over the passage of time. “Progress” also presents more recent works by artists including Paul Sietsema and Joel Sternfeld, who mine Modernism’s utopian moments in order to gauge how the familiar narratives of progress in the United States continue to haunt and inspire contemporary experience.

KINGFISHER COVER

The current Birder’s World features my little blurb about Calvert Vaux Park, the site at the mouth of Coney Island Creek where the Western Reef-Heron was found last year. There’s lots more there than just one rarity…
