Jimmy Giuffre - Western Suite

I love this music. If you have 18 minutes to spare turn up your speakers or put on your headphones and deep it:

This is my favorite jazz, probably of all time.

As we’re about to find out yet again on the national stage, now that Hillary Clinton has announced her candidacy, Western history has a hard time wrapping its head around the idea of a woman in power. Even the female pharaoh, Hatshepsut, has been disguised as a man in the many depictions...

Wow! Thanks Elisabeth! Who cares about actresses? I surely do!

"Isn’t imagination really the final measure of intelligence?” — Larry Sultan

Larry Sultan's "Here and Home" at LACMA Los Angeles County Museum of Art was far and away the very best and most inspirational show I've seen all year (that counts 2014 as well). My review is up at Daily Serving

“Coming from L.A., where most of the culture is automotive, and most of the images are things you don’t choose to see, billboards are a powerful context for imagery. In fact, growing up in L.A., you’d drive down Sunset Strip and look at the billboards instead of going to art galleries. It’s an awful thing to admit, but the advertisers were the visionaries of our time. They gave us notions of who we should become. Our myths of heaven and hell.” — Larry Sultan

USPS has really been F***ing with my shit lately, but none makes me sadder than losing my sister's birthday present, this painting I made of the reflection of a glass in the Pergammon museum cafe in Berlin. Love you, @issieannie and happy belated birthday.

Review of Landscape City at Center for the Arts Eagle Rock

"The work in this show investigates the psychological and emotional relationship between humans and their landscape—specifically that of Southern California—and how that construct is undergoing a rapid revision as we move into an uncertain future."

Watch Mrs. Holger E. Cahill demonstrate the proper administration of the modern ladies' velocipede - the ease of side-saddle cycling - to avoid the wanton straddling she's been witnessing. As Wallace Nutting always said, "Legs akimbo make a bimbo." Thanks #F.L.O.W. for inviting Aunt Flo to gave her demonstration at your charity bazaar Tuesday night! She'll return to christen the maiden voyage of your two-wheeled monstrosity!

Tomorrow!

This will be a beautiful addition to the evening and we are deeply honored.

(via Remixing the Renaissance as GIFs)

By now it’s become a familiar trope: Photoshop or GIF something historical, say, Old Masters or old photographs. But just because it’s been done doesn’t mean it’s finished. And the elaborate GIFs that James Kerr makes from early Northern Renaissance paintings are a hilariously new take on the idea of remixing antique art.
