Images in Dialogue Paul Klee & Andrew Schoultz

One of the rooms that I always visit, when I go to the SFMOMA is the Paul Klee room. So I was pretty excited to get to view Images in Dialogue Paul Klee & Andrew Schoultz. I think Klee is an artist that a lot of people admire. Wether or not you're influenced by him within your art, his work is dynamic and spans over so many decades -- and is really beautiful in it's own right. Andrew Schoultz was invited by SFMOMA to come in and explore Klee's work and create his own work around it, hence a dialogue between the two artists.

Schoultz had a small, private viewing last Friday. I have to say it was a pretty cool experience to see a contemporary artist like Schoultz sharing the same space, as Klee. Impressive and moving.

You can see the entire set of images on Flickr.

The below was a favorite of mine of Klee's and below that of Schoultz'.

Podcast: Allison Sommers

This week I sit down virtually with Allison Sommers, from her home in Brooklyn. Allison and I talk about her child as a military brat, her wildly, creative imagination and her slow coming, watershed moment around making the art her heart was telling her to all along. I have attached a cheat sheet below for references in our chat.

Found this video of Tara Donovan's piece, Untitled (Mylar), 2011 at The Pace Gallery from Vernissage TV. Such an incredible piece. 

Cassandra Smith

Faythe Levine (whom I can thank for pointing my attention over the years to a lot of very talented people) turned me on to Cassandra Smith a few years ago. Her use of taxidermy and sequins simply wowed me. Some how I missed that she had opened an etsy store back in March (you can find the sequined antler at Printshop). She's turned her creative spirit to antlers...and no doubt she's blown through a ton. Check them out.
