Well, I hope all of you reading this had a wonderful Thanksgiving, if not for the food for the break, and if not for the break for the overtime paycheck. As stated in my previous entry I had the chance to spend the past 10 days in Chicago. Being with my best friends and girlfriend was really comforting after spending several months in New York. I got a chance to see the William Pope L. exhibition at the Art Institute. Pope L. is one of my favorite artists and I rarely get a chance to see his work in person. Drawing, Dreaming, Drowning mainly consists of drawings from his Failure series. I was not really drawn to the physicality of the works but more of the idea of failure . I've become increasingly interested in the notions of failure particularly in performance based work. In another part of the museum is the work Relational Painting aka If Black is Beautiful... The installation consists of of a large painting and sound.
