My favorite element of Kristen’s art is how she recreates objects that were originally mechanically reproduced probably thousands of times. I have so many cherished possessions that were mass-produced like paperback books or popular children’s toys. Sometimes it makes me sad to think that these objects, which I love dearly, would be considered worthless. Kristen’s work honors the history of an individual object-a single member from a large set of copies-by depicting all of the creases, dents, and graffiti that make it unique. I love how she paints stickers as well on her objects which add another layer of individual personality and connects them to the owner. Her work also honors the individual object through how she dedicates so much of her time to something that originally took probably minutes to create by a machine.
I sat at that desk many times and enjoyed the many treasures of the space. It was Paul & Wayne’s office/studio near the state capitol building in Sac, in a cute nondescript building next to a canned food outlet. I had some of the most amazing moments of my life in there. I played many games on their vintage pinball machines. I lost money on countless ping pong games in that space -once watched a bar tender friend nearly put his foot through a $30M painting Wayne was restoring. With Paul, I had great conversations over original Matisse paintings. I saw the original California DMV palm tree license plate painting in there. I saw several paintings of New Yorker covers -some prior to being published. Paul Lebaron Thiebaud and his father Wayne were absolute treasures of the world. I attended Paul’s “funeral” at the river house -a decade prior to Wayne’s death. It was tragically magical.
Faculty of Design at the Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCAD University) in Toronto, Canada ALWAYS RATED 10 out of 5. Now it rates 3.8 out of 5. Most of the staff were born and raised in the USA teaching American History (slavery etc etc) in a Canadian school. They are not teaching anything to do with Canadian design because of all the DEI BS. As a Canadian, this ticks me off.
Thom claims his buildings are under the budget. Doesn't it cost more if you use so much steel to achieve those forms and that type of cladding rather than a not-so avant garde design? If somebody please explain this to me how we was able to achieve it. I'd appreciate it thanks.
What a bs title...what a bs talk...All she talks about is race, colonization, trauma, pain, cultural appropriation, oppression, slavery.. What a self righteous, racist cry baby..The poor woman doesn't have the least notion of how childish and petty she sounds
Thank you for this! I've been catching up on Beto's interviews and he's a lot of fun and inspiring to listen to. Thank you for all the hard work Gilbert. I try to get everything I can from you!
I chanced upon Thibaud's work by chance decades ago and instantly thought, "Wow! I like this guy!!" There's something about his choice of subjects, still lifes, landscapes and how they're executed is just so engaging! "...I like this guy!" NO, I lovd this guy!!!
he's using a lot of architecture jargon, but also covering some really complex ideas. morphosis, for better or worse, has adopted a completely unique design process, which makes it quite difficult to explain
"Painting doesn't do anything"- yes, and life doesn't do anything either. The fact that a wave breaking brings joy, a sunrise brings pathos is enough....the observer is pleased. All the rest of life is about keeping the body alive.
