I have always enjoyed the work of Ann Hamilton. Her minimal installations often focused on the body. She uses that emotional carrier well. She has also worked in words and video.
She gives a talk this evening at PNCA, and tomorrow at the Lumber Room. Ann Hamilton at PNCA www.pnca.edu 1241 NW Johnson Map
Philip Iosca celebrates the release of his book the White Paper with a reading. A meditation on the disconnect over humanity towards homosexuals and other sexualities from society as a whole, it was first published in 1928. Le Livre Blanc is almost universally believed to be written and illustrated by Jean Cocteau. Iosca has reillustrated and published the book with Container Corps in a limited edition. As a species, we can become caught up in trivial judgementalism. We really need to get onto saving each other and the world.
