A fave

I feel like this post is very timely.

You know what is the real downside to eating a clock?

It’s just very time consuming. #DadJokes

Sorry yer not feeling well, and I hope it improves.

I don’t know that an artist should be free from all fiscal responsibility but if a society values its artists I do think we can spend money to nurture that and see the value of free thinking and expression.

The question of will it help an artist make a living is part of how we got mediocre art. Artists like Damien Hirst for example churn out mass, formulaic art that is easy to digest and easy to display under their name that the market gobbles up, but is pretty mediocre at best.

Sky Spiral. A picture of a spiral staircase I spotted on a brutalist parking structure on Roosevelt Island. I liked the contrast and framing of the concrete with the pure blue sky and splash of red. #art #photography #architecture #nyc #newyorkcity #brutalist

Reinvest in education and making art both approachable and create paths to accessibility and understanding.

I feel like this is the case in a lot of the arts. A lot of things have become bigger more noticeable because arts education and appreciation isn’t as high anymore. So you have to make art loud and point more obviously at the things you want people to notice.

#MichaelHeizer is famous for negative line sculptures like Nine Nevada Depressions, featuring multiple excavations in the form of loops, intersections, zigzags, and broken lines across 520 miles of terrain, and for Double Negative, with two 50-foot-deep cuts into two opposing mesa walls. #art

The sculptures continue Heizer’s ongoing inquiry into the formal possibilities of line, size, and negative space which he began in the 1960s. 🧵 2/3

A few pictures from a visit to Gagosian gallery’s presentation of two negative sculptures by Michael Heizer, “Convoluted Line A” and “Convoluted Line B”. The sculptures show Heizer experimenting with the sculptural possibilities of two dimensional lines expressed in 3D at monumental scale. 🧵 1/3

Heh, feel free to steal mine! I post one almost every week!

An old woman is sitting at the bar at the seniors’ home when she spots an older gentleman. She smiles at him, and he saunters over with his cane and sits down beside her. "So," he says in a sexy baritone voice,"Do I come here often?" #DadJokes

From the last few days…

Excellent! One might even say a consommé effort!

Ahem!

Why did the old man get kicked out of the senior home for losing his glasses? Because he searched every nook and granny. #DadJokes

An Asian man teases a Peruvian man’s nipples in a hotel room.

And tho think it was just 12 years ago we stuffed a sock in his muzzle and he started down the path…

Missed it darn it. :-(

Wow! What a call back. Haven’t heard this mentioned in forever. LOL

Also, never realized that he was a Black artist!

A color photo of a Melvin Edwards welded steel sculpture mounted on a cream colored wall. The sculpture is titled “Beyond Cabo Verde,” from 2006. The sculpture consists of a number of rusted metal parts. There is a square metal frame inset with a grid of rebar. In the middle of that is an assemblage of metal pieces that includes parts of a rake, chain, horseshoe, padlock, and some nuts and bolts.

His work is so unique and powerful in ways that are hard to describe. They had several pieces up at MoMA for a long time, and I came upon this from the permanent collection of the Nasher in Dallas just a few weeks ago. Wonderful stuff.

This is also not news. I keep telling people this but no one believes me. _shrugs_

A sticker of a fox furry with arms upraised and a maniacal laugh captioned Muahahahahahaha. The fur has green fur highlights.

MUAHAHAHAHAHA

Old enough now, but I feel like telling jokes from the last century to toddlers is gonna have a smaller audience. :-P

I was going to tell you a joke about a woman who only eats plants, but you’ve prolly never heard of herbivore. #DadJokes

Of the many reasons to love #NYC, one is vibrancy cause by density. Standing in place with diverse musical styles in each ear and five other musicians at 100 paces with their own jam, you can’t help but feel energized and creative. Ideas spark and differences fall as things meld in your brain.

Just saw y’all on TikTok! Didn’t even know NYC had anything like this!

What melon isn’t able to steal away to get married?
