doing the blog thing...

Unlike some of my safari-going, romantic-language-speaking, grassroots-supporting friends, I will be camped out at home this summer, so I am going to do something a little different. Rather than bore you to death with things like "today at work..." I am going to do a series of posts on usable, current art. Before your eyes glaze over, let me just tell you that it won't be the usual canvas-based stuff (think more like postsecret). Each week I am going to select an object or collection of objects created by an artist that is relevant to everyday life. My "living art" selections will be based on a quote from the philosophy of public sculptor Claes Oldenburg:

"I am for an art that is political-erotical-mystical, that does something other than sit on its ass in a museum."

My hope is that you will find it interesting and that I can sneakily teach you a little bit about something that I love.
