Sunday, May 18, 2008. We'll Miss David, Joni, and Jake. This past year the students of the Lamar Dodd School of Art were treated to the opportunity to work with visiting Professor David Sandlin. David's presence and energy were a positive force in the department and our entire community will miss the friendship and laughter we shared with him, his wife Joni, and son Jake. David, it was "grit" having you here. Brian Hitzelberger special ordered a carrot cake with a scary carrot for the occasion. I spent t...

TAKE ME TO CONEY ISLAND. Andrew E. Johnson. Harper J. Bienko. Art School Part 1 (cont.). Link the picture to Odd Nerdrum. This comment posted by Adam Robinson. In regards to the Remembrandt posting blantantly asks for more. Very enlightening. Oh ha. Ha ha ha. Ha hahahahahaha! Do you like Rembrandt? Do you like this painting? Where does Rembrandt fit into your appreciation of art? How do you evaluate the classics? Is there room for someone who paints like Rembrandt in the contemporary art world? 3 Find th...

TAKE ME TO CONEY ISLAND. Andrew E. Johnson. Harper J. Bienko. UWC: A Little Jack. Just a couple of quick notes on Force of Law. Respect for contextual, academico-institutional, discursive specificaties, and mistrust for analogies and hasty transpositions, for confused homogenization, seem to me to be the first imperative in the current state of things.". I contend that the first imperative might actually just be big words. Posted by J Blanka @ 10:20 AM. Posted by J Blanka @ 9:40 AM. Or maybe it's just a ...

TAKE ME TO CONEY ISLAND. Andrew E. Johnson. Harper J. Bienko. Yup (I tried to post this at UWC but I still can't sign in). I know everyone else has had their own little post somewhere along the way about Reality TV. Personally, I don't have a huge problem with it. It's an important reflection of what America deems important. It's important to note these things as an artist or a writer. Tonight I watched fifteen minutes of the most incredible show I've ever seen. Why not eat the lipstick? 2 Cap'n Pete wil...

TAKE ME TO CONEY ISLAND. Andrew E. Johnson. Harper J. Bienko. Please be patient with me. I am in the process of moving and have very little computer access. I'm including some paintings to hold you off. These are all by the great Diego Rivera. I'd like to start doing paintings like these. Next week I'll tell you all about On Kwara and why I think he's important. Until then thank you for your patience. PS Jared, I will send you paintings and if you could post them that would be awesome. Thanks!

TAKE ME TO CONEY ISLAND. Andrew E. Johnson. Harper J. Bienko. Posted by J Blanka @ 10:52 PM. I saw the video of the beheading today. I forget how soft we are. How easily our skin tears. How easily the slate absorbs our blood. Posted by J Blanka @ 10:48 PM. I'm studying the work of Diego Rivera. Amoung Della Francesca, and El Greco, Diego influences, I found this beauty by Chavannes. Posted by J Blanka @ 8:17 PM. I understand that it can be suggested that some of Dostoevsky's suffering could have been a p...

TAKE ME TO CONEY ISLAND. Andrew E. Johnson. Harper J. Bienko. My Country Makes Me Sad. Tonight's big news story is the abuse of Iraqi prisoners. Seven US soldiers have received punishment after abusing Iraqi prisoners by stripping them and putting them in degrading poses. The White House reminds the Iraqi people, who are recently "freed," that this is only the result of a "few bad actors" and not a reflection of the majority of the whole. It's laughable, if such a thing is possible. I'll save you the sus...

TAKE ME TO CONEY ISLAND. Andrew E. Johnson. Harper J. Bienko. Who is that giant bird that visits me in costume. That speaks between it's beak, that makes sounds through it's lips, that regurgitates to feed like schools do. Who is that giant bird? Rimbaud, Corta'zar, my mother? All gone like matches. Then it flew away and left it's costume for me. Posted by J Blanka @ 1:53 PM. 1496 La Concepcion. Sacrilege. Bartholomew Columbus, Christopher's brother and lieutenant, attends an incineration of human flesh.
