<p>you are in good hand if three out of 27 came from Cooper. that’s 1/9 and two of them in this group are 2/60sh Cooper class of 2004 together, means 1/30 of them.
does it mean anything statistically?
I have to see other years’ ratio to see if they have some sort of un-spoken quota.
and there is only one obvious Asian last name, which is funny being in NY.
too bad I can’t go spy on Yale, or UCLA for that matter.
wouldn’t Cooper having show soon? could freshman participate?
last year, some of them did.
wagwagwagwag</p>
<p>D did said drawing teacher picked 5 of her drawing for some kind of exhibit, maybe the show? But this happened last semester, so maybe it is for for the show.
I did browse Yale’s page of their MFA graduate students info, one or two from Cooper. Didn’t remember now.</p>
<p>15,789 views now bowwowwow

Eva Hesse’s early paintings when she was (more) neuro.

<p>^ now to think she did these in around time when she was in Cooper or Yale, would I have thought anything of them back then? don’t think so. I would have gone like,
“whaattt?? my kid can paint that!”
only because now I know what and who she was, only now that I see her tormented soul in the face on the blobs it means something to me and I am gonna cross the river, take a train that often goes wrong way or not stopping without telling you (the biggest woe of the the Brooklyn museum, besides many other flaws) to see the show.
T strap shoes or not, I am with you, girl (put heart symbol here)</p>
<p>“whaattt?? my kid can paint that!”
This is what I am thinking now :—)</p>
<p>love, your kid DOES paint beter than most painters of these days, it is not funny, Tigermom! LOL</p>

anyone remember Wheaty’s post about an artist who went NJ state school that he dubbed as “my firsrt choice school said no” ??
just as I, bears, evil doer thought
IT WAS HER FIRST CHOICE!!!</p>
<p>MWS’s space program is having culminating show at their DUMBO place this weekend, I went to the opening and she was there in person in her studio!!!
I couldn’t help and asked
" do you know that you are famous?"
she knew! she googled herself one day and the thread popped up!
" do you feel offended or what he thought about you was true?"
" I was offended, a little, because I really wanted and chose to go there, but you can’t worry about what people says in the internet.
He doesn’t know me, or NY, NJ, that’s fine"
and dear Wheaty,
she is BEAUTIFUL.
with Audry Hepburn’s body with young Sandra what’s her name “while you were sleeping” face.
you better say sorry! heheheh
and yeah, her works were quite nice. everyone is very professional compere to Columbia show. of course it is the next step from MFA.
I don’t have tally of bio for all space program artists, I will check later.</p>
<p>save the Cooper! 16,000 views bump
I never seen so many people in the museum but hey, it is a good thing.
most folks are not free ticketed cheapo-s. being out shopping, staying at hotels, spending money in the city that help our economy. thank you thank you.</p>
<p>German Expressionism that is.
empathy on graphics.
short history lesson along the panels on each gallery walls goes like this</p>
<p>It started in Dresden 1905, with group named Brucke (bridge) liked to party with nude models
then at Munich 1911 Dar Blaue Reiter (the blue rider) by kandinsky and Franz Marc who liked animals/horses. resolved when WW1 comes, 1914
and
there was this twisted Austrian bunch, Egon Schiele and Oskar Kokoschka. Sciele dies 1918 age 28(!) Kokoschka moves to Germany
after 1910-sh it was in Berlin where expression-ing do lots of prints: woodcuts, lithographs, etchings because it was the most affordable art form, until 1924 post war money mess that resulted ending prints market boom.</p>
<p>There are naked people, some animals, lots of creepy war images by Otto Dix toward the end where it was most crowded.
some nice ones by Emil Nolde. I never knew he did so many prints that are so different from his weird paintings.
then I noticed something. every works shown in this show are from MoMA’s own holdings. nothing is sent from Germany for this special German show. not even one domestic borrowing like they always do between museums.</p>
<p>What this supposed to mean? I could only guess
- it is low budget show in disguise for mighty MoMA
- MoMA is so mighty they have all these works in woompa loompa warehouse vault they’d never run out of fresh works to show. (where they are, we don’t know, it just can not be here in $$$$$Manhattan)
- prints are indeed affordable so MoMA did stash up by tons when they were cheap.</p>
<p>what we should consider
4. It is not easy to run a world class museum. you really should pay your fair admission to help them grow.
but
not I said the duck, not I said the pig, not I, said bears and dogs.
I mean I will, someday. somehow. trust me.</p>

<p>Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum is somewhere in CT you’d better be driving but put up nice little shows I would like to see if I could.
now got new director, pretty girl of mid forties
born in RI, went Brown dual degree in AH and studio art (AB double?) plus some summer classes at RISD. that’s it. no masters, no Ph.D.
she have been to few galleries includes mighty Gagosian(1992-1997) then Carnegie Museum of Art (1998-2000) then, executive director of this sculpture park in nowhere LIC supposedly “internationally renowned outdoor museum” that noone in NYC bother to visit unless on the way to Costco.
cynic in me is smelling, local favoritism is at work.
museum trustees must have wanted someone they’d be comfortable with but these days, no longer disconnected dusty musty old intellectual with credentials galore .
what this mean is, terminal degrees are not necessary anymore to score mid-tier contemporary museum head jobs. If you look the part, talk the part, write the part. you are on.
but yet, but yet.
see here, still it have to be Brown (or Harvard, Yale, columbia, Williams)
where are you, Cooper grads?</p>
<p>bears:
you see this woman have Art History and Studio art. That support: AH Pd.D education to be a good way to go for fine art artist.
Share with you a story: This weekend we have a church pastor stay at my house. He had a AH master degree and in his opinion, AH education is not needed for artist. I think this is what your stands is.</p>
<p>love
I think I understand what you are trying to say. you are thinking about your D after Cooper</p>
<p>Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forest of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?</p>
<p>And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And, when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?</p>
<p>What the conceptual? what the traditional?
In what furnace was either ceramic or glass?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare it’s in the metal shop?</p>
<p>When the profs threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with your tears,
Did she smile her works to see?
Did she who made the crits won thee?</p>
<p>Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the future at your sight,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy D’s masterpiece?</p>
<p>bears:
You are so talented! lol,lol :----)
Yes, I am thinking about my D, but I am not that tiger kind push. I wish she can learn some graphic design or illustration, just something commercial to make a living. I am afraid she didn’t.
Then if she keeps on fine art road. I want to think about something to help her survive. But in reality, she may not listen to me at all.</p>
<p>bears, I love your poem! In “Poetry for Cats”, Henry Beard also rewrote classic poems from the point of view of the poet’s cat. From William Blake’s cat came, </p>
<p>Mongrel, Mongrel, Barking Blight
Bane upon my Yard at night,
What infernal hand or eye
Could frame thy vile anatomy?</p>
<p>etc., etc.</p>
<p>From what stagnant sump or pool
steeped the slobber of thy drool?</p>
<p>etc., etc.</p>
<p>It’s great but I like yours even better. That whole second-to-last verse is just priceless. “and watered heaven with your tears”, you have a new talent.</p>
<p>(take a bow)
so would I win pulitzer or something? should go for Nobel.
pulitzer is 10K or some, not even a year’s tuition…
I always wanted to be a poet if not a manga artist.
thou rhyming is hard in englishing.
what?
what about grammer?
what about it?</p>
<p>Bears I refrained last night from posting something your “mamma” post on launch reminded me of but now I will go ahead as you’ve inspired me. Although my mind turns in a less traditionally poetic vein.
If you don’t know the James Brown song “Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag” look it up and sing this little ditty for the next few months.</p>
<p>Mamma don’t need no gas or brake,
Amtrak is what she’ll take,
She can help with registration
Cause she can learn quick
Hey Mamma it’s no trick
Mamma can do the facebook, that’s no lie
Mamma can twitter, I’ll tell you why
Cause she’s gonna launch and she won’t cry
She raised him right and now she’ll wave bye-bye
Jump back, I love you, see you later, alligator
Mamma’s got a brand new bag</p>
<p>Oh yeah and you can look up a video of him performing and do the dance and slide while you’re humming.</p>
<p>I was gonna switch Amtrak to greyhound, then thought
maybe train is better for his what? 7ft bass and heaven forbid… bike?</p>
<p>and
smarty
as a pop culture moron, I was initially thought, aw, James Baldwin…then this poem came to mind, then that was by Langston Hughes
anyways thanks
I FEEL GOOD! now.</p>
<p>Mother to Son</p>
<p>Well, son, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor –
Bare.
But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
So boy, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
‘Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now –
For I’se still goin’, honey,
I’se still climbin’,
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.</p>
<p>Bears that literally brought tears to my eyes.
I’m going to cut it out and frame it . . .</p>
<p>Definitely Amtrak. They allow a lot of baggage and oversized items are okay. The bike I’m not sure about but I’ve seen them on the trains, I’d check with them first. And if you think you’ll be doing a trip or two back and forth definitely sign up for the Rewards Program because you can get some free travel every once in awhile. It’s a 2-1/2/3 day trip with a long enough lay over in Chicago to go see the museum if you’re careful and on time.</p>
<p>Gawd I’m showing my age, I’ll be printing it out and framing it.</p>
<p>now that you said it, I am not sure if there was that colon or semicolon?
look in legit site, chose font carefully, space it nicely and cut out (hehe) and frame nicely, as artsmart you been.</p>
