Happy birthday to David Wojnarowicz, groundbreaking artist, writer & activist, who raged raged raged against inequity and injustice at every turn. If he hadn’t died of AIDS, like so many leading lights of his generation, he would have been 72 years old today (thread)

Part of this morning's haul of vintage tools, toys and random weird things from the local flea market. Not pictured: a lovely anvil I didn't lug upstairs for the picture, it was hard enough getting it to the car. Some will be used as tools, some will end up in a sculpture, all are treasures.

A collection of objects sitting on a white background. There are perfect screwdrivers, tiny screwdrivers, wrenches, files, children's shoe forms, metal toy soldiers, fishing reels, optometrist widgets, old colored pencils in original packaging, toy blocks, a hand-carved and hand-painted wooden puppet, a nifty wooden box. Fun!

"AI" reveals the fundamental incompatibility of oligarchic and ordinary worldviews. The former's Utopia is the latter's Hell: a future in which human desires, aspirations, and shortcomings are all irrelevant to economic growth and social evolution. A world in which people quite simply do not matter.

From artist Joan Semmel, a good credo for anyone doing creative work:

“On one hand, you say, ‘What am I doing wrong?’ On the other hand, you say, ‘Fuck you. I’m good and you’re wrong,’” she said. “Who’s right? I don’t know. But it’s like, ‘This is who I am, this is what I do, and this is what I care about.’ So you just keep doing it.”

Initially created from an Hilma af Klint’s retrospective, the collective “Hilma’s Ghost” isn’t just about the misunderstood mystic: “We want to inspire people to work in an experimental way, to collaborate, and to do their own research to uplift people of color, women, and trans artists.”

I woke up today thinking about Betye Saar, still creating at 99.

Betye Saar, Black Girl's Window, 1969 . Assemblage sculpture; the silhouette of a Black woman looking out a window, her hands pressed against the frame, nine smaller boxes within the frame contain illustrations and figures.

Betye Saar, A Different Destiny, 2024 . Assemblage sculpture; a tall and narrow hinged box is open. The left side contains an circuit board with microchips, the right side, lined with canvas painted black except for small horizontal strips down the left and a long vertical stripe down the right, contains an African-style wooden carving of a Black woman in a dress.

πολλὰς δ’ ἰφθίμους ψυχὰς Ἄϊδι προΐαψεν

ἡρώων, αὐτοὺς δὲ ἑλώρια τεῦχε κύνεσσιν

Oompa Loompa doopity dee,
Sing of the anger for all to see.
Peleus' son had a terrible fit,
Oompa Loompa, that is it.

It brought the Greeks a lot of pain,
And sent many souls to the dark domain.
The heroes were left for the dogs to chew,
And all the hungry vultures too.

Oompa Loompa doopity da,
Zeus's plan was the guiding star.
It all began with a great big fight,
Oompa Loompa, day and night!

#Assemblage #sculpture which was accepted to a show with the theme "still life". I love the stained and worn handles of the screwdriver and paint brush, the grain of the oak baluster, the faded "We're Fussy, Be Fussy" on the wooden yardstick that is part of the frame. #BlueSkyArtShow #Wood

A wooden box framed by advertising yardsticks, within which are arranged an old paintbrush, used paint-stirrers, a circular saw blade attached with an antique drawer pull, an antique bobbin sitting on a spool of turquoise thread, an oak baluster painted gold (hi Louise Nevelson), a broken horseshoe. The back of the back is covered in wallpaper scraps, a saw blade, and the cover of House Beautiful, published in 1903.
