This is a very strong show, I encourage you to check it out if in the area.



Through the lens of the Whitney’s collection, An Incomplete History of Protest looks at how artists from the 1940s to the present have confronted the political and social issues of their day. Whether making art as a form of activism, criticism, instruction, or inspiration, the featured artists see their work as essential to challenging established thought and creating a more equitable culture. Many have sought immediate change, such as ending the war in Vietnam or combating the AIDS crisis. Others have engaged with protest more indirectly, with the long term in mind, hoping to create new ways of imagining society and citizenship.

This is much larger in scale than expected.

Malinche Jimmie Durham 1988-91
Malinche, a Nahua woman, was forced into slavery and a relationship with Cortes during the Spanish conquest of Mexico. She is now often understood as the Judas of indigenous Mexico, so to speak–though her true role in Mexican public memory is far more ambiguous. This piece by Jimmie Durham reflects that ambiguity by fragmenting her body into opposing elements and materials. The charred wooden foot and sorrowful expression elucidate the damage her myth has caused her. It’s like my favorite-ist postcolonial professor always said, “Colonialism affects and changes everybody–the colonized and the colonizers.”

Spring type Summer day (listening to Beck)
I've been places no one has seen. I've at times... been very obscene. That was not my intention, but it happens It happens to be It happens by Sometimes the only thing that is going to fix it is a deep sissy cry You'll feel flushed It's like starting over Over and over again Come back to me my sweet beautiful friend Relentless pursuit will make me cry I've seen places most will see My experience, it's close to me I'm tired most of the time But I really, super really hate wasting time Beware the games that time plays These are the long wholesome days I'll be back again flash flood of friends That’ll keep you healthy Lean and mean All the same stuff, just less obscene just a different package indifferent & completely savage

Beard Ethics [101]
The first rule of the beard is to not talk about the beard. I know... I just broke the first rule, but I do this as a sacrifice in testament to the education of the masses. It's fine if you allow others to talk about your beard, but be very brief in your responses in questioning. When someone begins to ask you questions about your beard.. (the classic.. “How long have you been growing your beard?”) retreat to a place of disposition, as if they just asked you about how long you have been growing your arm. A classic... “Idk” is perfect. In other words, give off an aura that is like.. “Idk, I just live this way.” Honestly, you kind of want to look at them as if they are kinda dumb. Lastly, this includes any sort of beard “hash tagging.”
2. Don’t ask, “Do I have anything in my beard?" - let it lie there and let others point it out.
3. No one cares that you are cutting off your beard - Those temporary beard wearers that grow their beards to great lengths to get attention. “Omg! Your beard is so long” and then they make a performance of getting rid of it... I got news for you... you were never a true beard wearer anyhow, so we’re not impressed.
4. Over maintenance of the beard - bro, you missed the beauty and benefit of owning a beard.
5. Just for men TM - ha, what an oxymoron.
6. How long have you been growing your beard? - give blank stare and say, "Uum, I don't really know and allude to birth as a starting date. And if you are a genuine beard wearer this will come naturally, bc it's the truth.
7. Don't talk about the beard at the urinal - I know this seems a bit crazy to bring up, but it happened to me. I never had an opportunity to respond, because I was in hysterics.
8. The shape and form of your beard - This last one is a word of encouragement for those that won't grow a beard due to "their" perception of what a beard should look like, for example, "Oh, my beard doesn't come in well over here." Listen, that is your God given beard and you have to own it. You’re missing the point, the gnarlier the better... the patchier the better. For example, the better beard is the one that looks like the man was wreckaged in the mountains of Alaska and has been surviving off the land for the 11 months until he found his way back to civilization, in contrast not the one that looks like it stepped out of a retail magazine.
Make your own conclusions; I’ve given you enough.

Maize Maze
Researching and contemplating a design for 2012 Corn Maze. I feel there is an opportunity for a deeper concept of the ending design. Hmmmm.
Eat More Corn
Critique our consumption of fructose.
Coca Cola Bottle
Statistics dictating the design
What does it mean to walk through paths in a corn field?
Could it be offensive?
Can we design something that makes a statement without the common person catching?
Who is my audience? lol.
Could all the corn that falls on the ground from creating paths be harvested and displayed?
A picture of an ear of corn made out of corn.
