terrible exaggerator/rememberer-of-actual-facts

2011-09-28T22:19:00.000-07:00

Its hard to make friends with, to learn from and use, all of my past. I was reminded of that tonight rereading a favorite Joan didion essay.. It's also nice to not feel alone in this predicament? Basic human complexity? I'm not exatly sure what to file it under.

And, to top it off, it even makes me feel better about being such a terrible exaggerator/rememberer-of-actual-facts!

Anyways, my horoscopes, that I don't even believe in, are basically telling me I should just stay in bed all week. Ok, time to prove destiny wrong and stuff.

summer is almost over

2011-08-31T14:56:00.001-07:00

Summer camp is almost over, and i'm already looking forward to winter. How beautiful is that balloon/postcard performance? Ready for sweater weather, though.

fall workshops

2011-08-30T14:19:00.000-07:00

ive been really bad about documenting lately, its just been kind of busy. this is just for me, but i still should be better about it. my memory's so bad, it's good to look back on things i'm working on. anyways!

our fall workshops are looking strong, i'm super lucky to have such a creative community to draw from.

Brooke is teaching the ceramics workshop, love the name she picked.

Adrian's teaching our ukulele workshop, funded by Irvine Foundation.

Comic Book making workshop has really taken off. Andrew is teaching again this semester, as he's great at challenging the students as well as encouraging them.

So yeah, workshops + afterschool start up in October, and i am so happy that i get to fill this old library with art education and kids.

i know its totally lame but

There's been so much work leading up to this point, lots of grantwriting and planning and stressing over details, so it's exciting for me to see our fundraising plan executed and get to be thankful for the amazing donors that support us!

check it: The Mapping of Countries Yet to Come

There are 4 more weeks of our summer camp, as well. Sometimes it feels like a lot, splitting up my time trying to be

camp director/education director/curator/designer/artist/girlfriend/daughter/friend/human

but i'm doing my best, you know? anyhow, it's definitely not boring, which is my primary concern.

But when I see kids excited by learning in a new way, a way that is so different than most of their everyday LAUSD experience, it is totally worth it.

that reminds me..

Thinking Visually final week

2011-05-11T17:21:00.000-07:00

For Colleen's last class, the participants learned bookbinding. It was a great, practical workshop, and I hope to make room for more design classes at the Center.

Thinking Visually books

making mistakes, fucking up, and figuring things out the hard way.

2011-04-27T22:43:00.000-07:00

Tonight i went to Skate Video Night, part of the Geffen's new show. There was a panel made up of: Spike Jonze, Stacy Peralta, Lance Mountain, Ed Templeton, Greg Hunt, Ty Evans, Rick Howard, Aaron Meza and Tobin Yelland.

When asked about why skate videos have kept footage of the riders falling and goofing off, Stacy Peralta said,

"We had the power to wreck skateboarding or empower kids."

I think a lot about the importance of making mistakes, fucking up, and figuring things out the hard way. I guess that's why I like skate videos; yeah, you're going to see amazing tricks, but you're also going to watch the same athletes goofing off and falling down. Getting it wrong is not just acknowledged, but celebrated as an integral part of learning.

As a kid, I remember focusing so hard on getting the right answer, and pushing myself to never make mistakes. I definitely feel those moments when a skater pushes himself to the point of breaking his board. But the fact that those moments are documented and put into a sometimes totally polished video is not just refreshing, it's illuminating.

It seems like the more I think about something, the more it tends to pop up in random places. Here's a link to this TED lecture trent and i watched on being wrong:

http://www.ted.com/talks/kathryn_schulz_on_being_wrong.html

During camp last year, I realized how debilitating it is for a kid to always feel the need to find the "correct" answer to a problem. For one of our projects, we made our own islands and used craft materials to furnish them according to what would comprise our ideal island. For many of the children, it was difficult at first to use the materials as something other than what they knew the objects were. As the project progressed, imagination took over, and the fear of "misusing" the objects was thrown aside. I noticed one little girl cutting blue circles out of paper and sticking them onto stretched cotton balls. I said, "Are those polka-dotted clouds?" (my adult mind was totally having a hollow-face illusion moment!) The little girl replied, "No, I tried to cut holes but it looked stupid, so I made the holes in the clouds where the sky pokes through!"

By fearlessly working against herself, practicing and experimenting, the girl figured out a way to represent the part of clouds that she found interesting. It reminds me of the shots in Yeah Right! with the invisible skateboards; with anything there's a lot of hard work and practice involved, but it's good to get it wrong and keep going.

I've been working with Maggie Nelson to create a reading at the Center, above is the poster I made for it. I am so excited to work with Maggie, as she was one of the most invested CalArts faculty members, and a real guide in helping me shape my practice. If you haven't read her work, I encourage you to pick up Something Bright, Then Holes..or any of her work really.

here's an interview.

oh and, here's a picture from sparkle place this week, i was definitely into the string fort they made:

and, to contribute to today's poetry theme, here's an excerpt from some robert creeley i've been reading..

This early still sunless morning when a chair’s
creak translates to cat’s cry a blackness still
out the window might be apparent night when the
house still sleeping behind me seems a bag of
immense empty silence and I feel the children
still breathing still shifting their dreams an
enigma will soon arrive here and the loved one
centers all in her heavy sleeping arm out the
leg pushed down bedclothes this body unseen un-
known placed out there in night I can feel all
about me still sitting in this small spare pool of
light watching the letters the words try to speak.

Morning Playground

I made this watercolor as a sketch for a painting, but I like it. I gave it to the Center's art auction, and am glad to get it out of my studio.

Now to get to work on the painting. Since leaving school, i find it more difficult to talk about work in a certain way. it feels good to refuse to talk about things that aren't actually happening. Like this image, it's a simple idea. I lay 4x6 photographs down next to each other until I feel like i've found the image. it doesn't feel like collaging, and i'm not actively trying to create stories. It's funny how the brain intuitively wants to make a story though, right?

The top photograph is from the Sedlec Ossuary in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic.
The bottom photograph I took of a child playing under a tree in Prague, Czech Republic.

Winter camp went so well this year, it was the first time we sold out and the kids (and faculty!) had the best week ever. Here's some pictures:

Our fantastic teaching staff!

Such a great project.

During the final performance, campers acted out a play they wrote about nature and the city, based on one of the thematic days. Above, the boys are being cranes.

Campers built all their props, like this miniature city.

Dark Skate Miami, Lia Halloran

"Writing has nothing to do with meaning. It has to do with landsurveying and cartography, including the mapping of countries yet to come"

-- Gilles Deleuze

I've been thinking about my art practice differently lately, how it includes my current work. it all seems to melt together, in this way in which my drawings and reading/research inspires curating and mapping and logical planning. these are some goals i made myself when i started work:

- Create opportunities for local contemporary artists

- Create a structure for education programming that is sustainable with/without my involvement

- Maintain existing programs

- Find new sources of funding for education program

- Streamline education to fully fit the mission statement of the Center
- Make the basement into a functional, clean, and efficient art teaching space
- Make a Center garden, get the kiln up and running! (both with camps in mind)
- More on-site workshops!
- Never let tenure override enthusiasm

and..it's all happening!

Myth & Infrastructures: Miwa Matreyek

Part of my work here at the Center includes exhibitions. I recently curated a great show with multi-disciplinary artist and filmmaker Miwa Matreyek, who i went to school with at CalArts. Having her do a show with us really brought a new audience to the Center, and i can't wait to continue working with her. Anyhow, here's some excerpts from the piece she performed February 13th at the Center:

Workshops!

2011-02-13T13:03:00.000-08:00

I'm also curating the workshop series at the Center, funded by a generous grant from the Irvine Foundation. The workshops for the next 3 years will be free, ten week sessions, ranging for children to adult:

Graphic Design Workshop

You can learn the basics of graphic design, taught by Colleen Corcoran, MFA graduate from California Institute of the Arts. This workshop is for young adults.

Sparkle Place: Movement of the Future

This innovative dance workshop will be taught by Katie Bachler, local artist and dancer with an MFA from USC. Katie now dances all over los angeles with the dance collective bodycity and is also a teaching artist for LACMA. This workshop is designed to be for entire family participation.

Create your own Comic Book

This workshop will be taught by Andrew Cox, graduate of California Institute of the Arts. Andrew writes and creates his own comic series, Pocketbook, and will teach children creative writing, storyboarding, drawing, inking, and book binding.

Learn to Play Ukulele/Songwriting Workshop
Adrian Tenney will teach students to play the ukulele, the history of the ukulele, how to write a song, and then performance techniques and the different emotions in songs. This class will be for young adults.

Write Now! a Creative Writing Workshop for Growing Imaginations

Foundry Workshop (metal-working!)

New Work/After School Programming

2011-02-12T11:48:00.000-08:00

Our first comic book class was funded by the Flourish Foundation and taught by Andrew Cox at Luther Burbank Middle School, a Title 1 school.

There's been so much going on lately, i feel like i should write some of it down. I started working as Director of Education, at Center for the Arts, Eagle Rock, and since then it's been this amazing whirlwind.

Right now, i'm trying to work in different ways to build my parts of the programming to be, well, super good! We are going through exciting changes, i've expanded our afterschool program to 11 schools, giving opportunities to a newly expanded creative faculty comprised of 19 local working artists. With this bank of artists and dancers, we've been able to provide quality after school dance and art classes to title 1 schools in Northeast Los Angeles. It's so great to walk into a classroom full of at-risk students excited about participating in art, comic books, and dance. I've even had a chance to create a mission statement for our after school art program:

Our mission in our after school art program is to inspire a passion for artistic
expression in each student we reach by expanding their concept of what can be considered art. Our teachers combine art history, play-based learning, and their own studio practices to create classes that give students a place to explore artistic boundaries and establish community.

the best part is all our classes after school can be low-cost or free through grants.

i just started reading that stanley cohen book.

kindergarten-age children, when asked to draw from observation, draw each object from the still life set before them on their paper as though the objects are being mapped and laid out in their brain and placed on a single plane. by second grade, they become interested in representing objects in space, and their relation to each other. this is a confusing change in perception, i think.

2010-01-28T20:32:00.000-08:00

sometimes when i'm having a dilemma, i think about agnes martin, and i am ashamed for making things more complicated than they are.

on the surfliner train to vista, i sat down with my sunglasses on so that no one would talk to me. i like to be alone on the surfliner, and sit on the side that allows me to watch the ocean stay still outside as i am propelled forward (while sitting still as well). The ocean's tidal movements perpendicularly intersect with the train's trajectory, but they do not touch. i tried to insure solitude by opening a book that i wasn't very interested in. a man began talking to me through the seats, so i could only see slivers of his doughy face. He told me about becoming a doctor in south africa, and i began to think he was alright. "I have a proposal for you," he said. His tone changed from conversational to uncannily smooth, and suddenly I was trapped. WIthout missing a beat, he had switched to the seat facing mine; his eyes were small and beady, brown holes in a baby-skinned moon face. When he talked, his lips separated from his teeth with a sucking noise and quivered involuntarily.

"How much do you know about surrogacy?" I was confused, and crossed my legs as i drew up into myself further, folding my book in my arm over my chest. The sun was about to set over the Pacific. I felt a righteous anger at this man's invasion as the sky became pale and melted into the water until it was nearly impossible to distinguish the horizon. "I, um, haven't really thought about it much, I don't know," my mumbled response accidentally fueled his sales pitch. "Well, let me tell you something. You are a decent looking young woman, and in India, they want those caucasian babies. Now, as a certified doctor, what I do is put you on a plane to India, all-expenses-paid-mind-you." The lint on my jeans had suddenly become captivating, anything to keep me from having to look at his gelatin face. He continued, "So when you get there, I put you up in a hotel, a resort! And all you have to do is go to the doctor every day for two weeks and get shots of hormones. It's totally natural, I mean you've got hormones in you already, am i right?" Small beads of sweat were pooling on his upper lip as he talked. His speech pattern had become ravenous, the words in his mouth forming like chewing dry steak. "The best part is, at the end, after we are done harvesting, you get a free trip to the Taj Mahal." At that moment, he was cut short as my stop was announced.

I stood up quickly, gathered my things, and walked in the bow-legged way a person walks when the floor beneath them is moving, until I gripped the metal bar nearest the sliding door marked, "exit". I kept my eyes down, i knew if i looked up i would see him, in his too-blue oxford and wobbly features, staring back.

kind of like big churros

the continental hotel, a pretty good story:

the man who bought this hotel bought it based on the rumor that in the 1940s, when it was called the New York Hotel and owned by a Jewish family, the family's fortune was hidden in the hotel during WWII when they fled Romania. No one could find the fortune, and thought this man was foolish for buying the hotel. He searched the hotel top to bottom and couldn't find anything. Finally, he brought in metal detectors, and they found millions of dollars in gold bars buried in the concrete floors. The hotel remains closed, since the man only bought the building as a treasure hunt.

these two were blasting hip hop and making out both times i walked by, so for two hours.
