<p>11,500 make-up
there are many MOCA than just MOCA.
The one you should see is near little Tokyo, the warehouse looking un-pretensious thing, so people in know say.
They got show continue from Grand Ave MOCA, “The Artist’s Museum”
All LA based artists did something to do with MOCA. nice thing is, they say where they come from, did BFA BA MFA teach where etc, on the side of every pieces.
UCLA rules, naturally but good amount of Art Center (do fine art, too) CalArts, UCs, I, SD, one or two Pomona. many teach as practice.
It seems wherever they are from, once get to LA stay there for masters, then goes on.
I can see why after walking around in summer clothes looking at flowers and trees with citrus fruits dangling in mid winter. Paint and mind would flow free all year around.
Works are, ahem, comtemp comceptu as usual, why the glass box with cracks on fedex box, why shipping palate piled up sky hi covered with plaster on one side, why the giant totebag with giant cigarette burn hole thru.
MFA! MFA! More Fun Art !!</p>
<p>Grand Av MOCA has half permanent collection as the king pin wanted and seems Jeff complied. The Rothko room! the rope in front of Pollock! but nothing in front of my fav artist in the corner as if after thought of that Pollock!!
OH
the entrance of the MOCA had weird stick on pattern vinyl thing on it. I wanted to see if it was permanent and picked one corner on the one piece. Of course gotten stopped by the police lady “uuum! don’t peal that, please!!”
It looked so out of place, like japanese bathhouse 's tile wall ( think "spirited away " ) so I asked.
It is
Part of the “Artist’s Museum” show. There are why and who explained on the entrance with tiny stick-on letters.
once the show is done, back to clean, plain white marble tiles it is, to fit MOCA-ing business.
oopps
gotta go! see you later TB continued</p>

[Faculty</a> News: Dennis Adams The Cooper Union](<a href=“http://cooper.edu/art/news/faculty-news-dennis-adams]Faculty”>Faculty News: Dennis Adams | The Cooper Union)
^he is the bigshot of Cooper prof
wore white suits ala Tom Wolfe going around Bordeaux with wine glass filled to the brim spilling all over his white clothes and shoes sort of making statement against blah blah colonialism, slavery, everything conflict thing, Alge, Vietnam etc etc
finally I got to see the video I been heard about and
gawd
it’s 42 min long and pretty boring
It is the part of “wine” show at SFMOMA
our fav part was the smell-o-machine of wine, there are flask of the choice of wine and rubber what you call, pump the air thing with sniffing opening attached to it. you’d pump air and sniff them up.
fruity, vinegary, tangy, yummy.
If I got straw long enuff maybe able to taste a bit instead of smelling. there are policing around so better not.</p>
<p>I got to eat my dream cake, mondorian fudge thing, 8bucks!!! awww it hurts but hey
I had my birthday couple days ago. I gave me treat.
On the roof was nice garden with sculptures but what your eyes focus is the logo of the AAU painted on the next door building.
It’s all over the place, buying up entire SF!!!</p>

did it show?
gawd everything is posted by somebody…</p>
<p>Nennis Adams is my D’s 3D teacher and I think she likes his teaching!</p>
<p>love
I knew it!
If Ms Day said at the orientation is true (it is) profs are itching to meet their fav hometest makers.
I can see Dennis top-dog Adams wanted to teach baby blue.
lucky girl she is. don’t tell her (him) that I said his video was boring.</p>
<p>I got carried away…
11,700 views and back to LA Chinatown after noodle dinner
The mountain school of arts is this
<a href=“http://www.themountainschoolofarts.org/[/url]”>http://www.themountainschoolofarts.org/</a>
^ I know there are nothing to it in their site, and that’s exactly the point.
I found out about it in this book called “Art School”<br>
so my purpose @ sunny LA #2 was to spy it.
The mountain bar is legendary er, bar in the Chinatown. open 9 or 10PM sh so I was told.
students of the school ( the chosen ones, after submitting portfolio and essay) are waiting around to see the teacher of the day (only Tue and Wed evenings, between month of Jan- Apr only) would show up and let them in the bar before it opens for the business.
Class starts at 6PM-sh, in the upstairs back-room.
It was eye opening, life altering to say the least.
I can not say much or could get some people who helped me in to trouble.
I strongly recommend to mature arty kids whom in the LA proper or free spirited citizen of the world to polish your work and save up money (to live three month locally, tuition is free)
after the book came out, now in the newspaper, magazines and such. Naturally competition would get harder, secrecy or cult-ness would suffer. wait, who am I kidding, I am posting here in public…
Thou, like Cooper, they choose you because you simply belong.
awwww</p>
<p>I love the Mondrian cake! Now how about Pollack, van Gogh, Albers, Diebekorn?</p>
<p>G
here hear
<a href=“http://www.sfmoma.org/press/releases/news/840[/url]”>http://www.sfmoma.org/press/releases/news/840</a>
I was tempted for Wayne Thiebaud layer cake slice as well. had to pick one.
If Wayne cake was pink,(it was vanila) might have won over Mondrian.</p>
<p>11,800 views and back in snow.
It was a miracle our flight did not get ditched. phew. It seems missed very rare NYC dpt ED snow-day last week.
So
back up a little and talk about Portland
I can not locate the link now ( it seems disappeared along with “tibet” and “Asian girls” those two being politically incorrect and had to be ditched I get that, but “Portland”? anyways)
used to be listed in “stuff white people like” blog and the book.
<a href=“http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/full-list-of-stuff-white-people-like/[/url]”>http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/full-list-of-stuff-white-people-like/</a>
Portland, OR
art-y brain-y friend of mine pushed the city big time for my kid when he was pre teen.
now no longer has grades as when in middle-school let’s forget about THE other school but
PNCA is this
<a href=“http://www.pnca.edu/[/url]”>http://www.pnca.edu/</a>
risking certain CCmom might be lurking get offended, the school is small.
cute renovated loft filled with IKEA furniture- thou it did not fell apart in two years like all IKEA thing does, maybe well maintained or seldom used, or constant in replacement, I don’t know.
here is what the school prez said in the student handbook I scored from the front desk trading with three pieces of my jolly rancher candy. ( strawberry, green apples and this blue one - yuck)
“it is my great pleasure to welcome you to Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA), one of the finest schools of art and design of its size anywhere.”
it is very so. one of the finest schools of ITS SIZE.
my kid liked it OK bit apprehensive on the MFA gallery works and the liberal art study wall- they don’t ask SAT and on open admission.
" too small"
so he say, until hit Powell’s book store. The city of books!!! TOO BIG!
he stood by accident in front of entire Crazy Kat books, new and old. settled one with the introduction done by no other, e.e. cummings. $12.95 list price from who knows when now up to 19.95.
I said we can afford it since we did real good money wise this trip, but he chose to sat and read at the coffee room since he had to buy (why?) third installment of the Eragon book at Olympia, more felt bad for the nice lady who owns tiny bookstore near the bus depot.
Coffee! in Portland !! @ Powell’s coffee room!!
$1.75 for real good au lait. formy, kick-y. cute baristas, hip crowd, sea of books.
It rained but stopped. people come and go in hoodies, hop on off street cars. retail stores of Hanna Anderson, Patagonia are still in business in downtown, don’t know how they pay the rent. I do know!! they are CHEAP!!!
like, that white people book said,
why don’t we move to, Portland?</p>
<p>it hit 11, 900 and
OCD in me had to go check up at B&N
and there it is, on page 148 and 149 in the book.
since it is based on the public blog, assuming OK to post here what it says?</p>
<p>-Portland, Oregon, is essentially a Load of the Flies senario with white people in the Pacific Northwest instead of in the South Pacific. In both cases, we have a situation whereby a homogeneous group of people is left alone in an area with no one to keep them in check.
Eventually the euphoria and self-congratulation develops into savagery and murder.
Statistically, Portland, Oregon is the whitest metropolis in the United States, and unsurprisingly, it’s also the most bike-friendly, vegan-friendly, GLBT-friendly city in America.
The low rents have made it highly desirable to freelance designers and artists, who no longer have to work 40 hour weeks to afford their lofts. Instead, they can use the rest of their time to focus on their art, check e-mail at local coffee shops, and go to indie rock shows at the Crystal Ballroom.
But the appeal of Portland goes beyond the young. With affordable real estate prices, it attracts white people with children from Los Angeles, New York, Austin, Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco in droves. Each of them brings their own unique heritage, modern furniture, Prius, and the recipe for vegetarian chili ( note: those are all things listed in other chapters that white people also like)
The city is expanding its bike lanes, adding to its light rail service, and registering more and more Democrats, and is thriving.
On the Load of the Flies timeline, Portland has not reached the stage where they smash Piggy’s sunglasses, but there is a strong likelihood that the city will have mass riots and murder when the local grocery co-op runs out of organic salmon.
This knowridge is important, because whenever a white person complains about their city, you should always say, “Have you thought about moving to Portland?”
This will comfort them as they tell you their plan to move there in few years. But unless you make it clear that you are moving there to open some sort of ethnic restaurant, do not tell them that you plan to join them in the Rose City, it will make them uncomfortable. </p>
<p>^ the book also lists " McSweeney’s" “Japan” " gifted children" some are in the website. check them out!!<br>
you could tell that I am at my job with piled up while-you-were-away works unfinished, procrastenating…</p>
<p>Bears, you crack me up! Everytime I see another white woman carrying her canvas bag to the farmer’s market - just like me - I feel so absurdly guilty. I looked at your link and was so glad when I did NOT like something on the white person’s list (TED, moleskin, etc.) and then I would realize, but I LOVE TO PICK MY OWN FRUIT, craaaaaaaaaaap! I want to remind myself of my hillbilly cousins, my love of dive bars, my H who has perfected (without trying…) every bowling mishap imaginable, but alas, my love of hummus and Halloween has doomed me!</p>
<p>I better stay away from Portland. Both of them.</p>
<p>I, too, had to go check out the list. Not too much stuff on it for me. Coffee, dogs (but they certainly weren’t a pre-requisite to having kids and now that the kids are grown, definitely not a kid substitute, Wrigley Field (Chicago native, so a given - I have no choice in the matter), and I like traveling, but have never been to Europe and probably won’t go anytime soon! Guess I’m not that white, but several people I work with are exuding white all over.</p>
<p>Interesting list, but having lived in Portland Maine, I think it applies more to Portland Oregon, so Greenwich, you’d be OK!</p>
<p>check out the books folks when you can!
there are bonus link, you whiteness-test and such, and many ditched items.
I did test and gawk!
I am total twinkie!!!</p>
<p>Bears, I love taking quizzes about myself, but I cant find it? I need to know how white I am, can you direct me?</p>
<p>switters
it’s in the book sold in the store. I can go and take notes later and post it for 12,000 views epic. ( more procrastenation)
thou my note said ^^“Lord of the Flies” and of course I did type “Load”. Load of lord of the flies.
I will be careful.</p>
<p>check off everything that you like. When you are finished, count everything up and determine your whiteness percentage.

<p>switters, there are other things in the book you can count bonus points, such as “autobiography- A White Life- dinner party game” and other yes/no career guidance, migration destination etc.
second book is just published
“Whiter Shades of Pale”
it is more site specific, like, Boston, England, Maine, the web listing are more in this new book.
and G
there is ^^148 dive bars. you so white!!</p>
<p>Arrgh, I totally fell into that dive bar trap. But, I’m happy to say I only scored a 27. Bears, do you really like plaid, music piracy, pretending to be a Canadian abroad, and the “idea” of soccer? Does anyone? </p>
<p>With my little reusable bags, rolled into tiny shapes in my purse, I’m guilty. And we all get extra points for “rolling our eyes at the whiteness of ourself”. I’ll have to look for that book. And get another extra point for looking at the library!</p>
