Zine Review #13 5/31/2011

And Heart 101 3d Popup Book & Sara Thustra Art Lybrary
Sara Thustra

I have never taken an interest in anything 3D; immediate symptoms of disorientation and brain irritation always develop. “What’s the fucking point?” comes to mind. Paying a premium for a movie solely because it is 3D seems foolish to me; I consider it a cheap gimmick with the false appearance of added excitement. This 3D zine may be the only exception. By folding pages you create new images. Interaction is the key and as simple as this sounds, this is complex for any zine. Brilliant! The idea is not purely original, but who cares? www.needles-pens.com

Don’t Be So Humble, You Are Not That Great 5/25/2011

Seen plenty of art lately, so much that I have made two separate posts. I’m not giving you everyone’s name and gallery. It’s overwhelming, for you and me. So here you go, sorry for the lack of posts lately.

At Fort Mason






And then a nice landscape

Fraenkel Gallery always exhibits phenomenal shows. Richard Learoyd uses a unique method of taking photographs unlike any photographer. He produces one off photographs inside a specifically built camera, which is basically a large room that is a camera. No film negative, transparency or intermediate material. Get it? They’re amazing in person.

Skinner 5/13/2011

A recent trip to Sacramento involved a stop over at Skinner’s Funhouse. His studio, a converted garage, is something I always dreamt of having as a teenager and all these years later I’m still dreaming.























Skinner busy shredding and we out!!!
