Morning light, Ellsworth Kelly Chapel, UT-Austin. Two minutes after I took this photo, kids arrived on a school tour and began playing hopscotch on the colors. They get it.

There is literally nothing any expert could say to make me give up coffee. “New research demonstrates that caffeine causes random bodily organs to explode while you sleep.” Me: “Eh. Large Hazelnut Latte with an Extra Shot, please.”

Took a trip to Gainesboro,TN a few weeks ago to see the Vickie Vainionpää show. Her show is up until 30 August. Well worth it.

The people who want to turn universities into “workforce development centers” and the people who want to use AI to get rid of large swaths of the workforce are the same people.

Re: the playlist, Górecki’s Symphony #3 is a powerful piece of music, but it is about a despondent mother searching for her dead son. Not sure that’s the right vibe.

Last one for now. Julie Mehretu wondered what would happen if she made work that was translucent, where light played an active and evolving role in the appearance of her artwork. Results are gorgeous. Prehistoric cave paintings reimagined in new ways. Wonderful show.

I loved Tess Donovan’s delightful mechanical air-powered medieval polyphony machine at The New Museum. Robotic and tech-driven installation work rarely feel more human. Surrealism + Bosch + Rube Goldberg + a warm sonic hug. My photo doesn’t do it justice, but I will share it anyway. Gotta be there.

Don’t miss Bobby Anspach’s “Place for Continuous Eye Contact" in NYC. Few artworks have engaged issues of consciousness, mindfulness, and the cognitive dimensions of aesthetic experience in an environment that is as supportive and compassionate as this one. www.bas-foundation.com/visit?utm_so...

Next few posts = some of the best art I saw last week in NYC. Anselm Kiefer’s paintings currently up at Gagosian hover between Byzantine Icons and James McNeill Whistler (symphonies in green and gold). On the sunny day I visited, the skylights made them sparkle. gagosian.com/exhibitions/...

While I know that the song “The Captain of Her Heart” is by a band from Switzerland, I still to this day imagine it to be a solo project by Daryl Dragon from Captain & Tennille.

Expansive, overwhelming scale. The free play of imagination. Where, as White Cube puts it, “colour is treated as a transformative force that acts directly upon perception, disrupting how visitors feel and experience space.” Love Katharina Grosse. www.whitecube.com/gallery-exhi...

“How can Democrats find a way to lose another election?” Well, that’s one way. Only 4 democrats voted against turning cars into mandatory surveillance machines. So dumb. People are starting to notice this now that we are almost midway through 2026. Not good.

Routledge has some great titles in their handbook series. I own a few. But this title sets a new standard. I’ve never met any of their editors, but I can’t help but love them.
