ART HISTORY: Using the Wi-fi on the Megabus to New York City! On my way to look at some Agnes Martins, Barnett Newmans, Mona Hatoums and Yayoi Kusamas for my dissertation. Also meeting a friend that I haven’t seen for a couple of years. V nice day ahead, full of coffee, chats, and furious notemaking.
Also have the challenge of trying to figure out how to photograph these works. The Martins in particular are notoriously difficult to reproduce, and I will have to make copious annotated sketches to remind myself which bit of close-up grid is which in my images.
INTERVIEW: Just wanted to signpost my recent interview with musician and illustrator Jeffrey Lewis. Do let me kmow what you think. I’ve been a fan of his for years and was thrilled that he agreed to do a interview with me for 30 Days of Drawing.He’s written/drawn for the UK Guardian and the New York Times amongst many other great publications.
GALLERY: I must remember to contact some arty/gallery/studio people in Philadelphia asap to start building a network out here, and learnign how I can best contribute to the existing situation. Things have been so busy here in Philly/Boston/now NY, that the gallery stuff has fallen on the back burner. Though yesterday evening I did take a lovely walk around the 50th St and Baltimore Ave area in Philly to start thinking about how the gallery would work with other young creative businesses in the area.
