A slushy mix of art and non-art that I use as references for my own art.

Kafka's Castle

This is the best book I've read that achieves nothing. It is impressive that someone can fill that many pages without going anywhere. Truly an accomplishment.

These are funny to me for some strange reason. Here is her website.

They also made me think of Ed Ruscha's Several Small Fires and a Glass of Spilled Milk. Which is something I think about fairly often. For some reason I love this book much more than any others of his. The swimming pools and LA apartments bore me, but that glass of milk is just so climactic.

Ben showed me this person two years ago or something, I was going through my favorites and rediscovered how awesome she was. I just went to the Druid Hill Botanical Garden today and kept thinking about these pieces. I like the idea of a wearable sculpture that still radically differs from the norm of jewelery. Here is her website. At the garden I literally saw agave that were this big!! It was amazing.

Also, in lieu of the late and phenomenal Louise Bourgeoise, I thought I would put up this picture of my favorite sculpture OF ALL TIME. I mean it. When I saw the retrospective at the hirshhorn I actually touched it when the security guard turned around. And it felt amazing.

This would feel so amazing



I had this idea 4 years ago to make a bed out of earplugs that humans could swim through...somehow I feel like this is an equivalent of sorts.

Erwin Wurm's One Minute Sculptures...except with Claudia Schiffer?

I sort of thought this was a lame ripoff until I discovered that Erwin took the photos himself. Sweet.

These are my three favorite things lately



Here is a picture of Werner Heisenberg. Somehow this semister I have found this perfect triangle of informational exchange between him, zen, and Rilke. So thank you, Heisenburg, Zen, and Rilke.
