Back to the Future Moms

Posted in Back to the Future Moms by kristencoates on March 10, 2009

My Mom is so radical it hurts to think about it.  She has one of those mystical life stories you only dream about… the one thing she really can’t get though is the future.  I must share.

She asked me about 10 years ago if she had to send away for a hotmail account.  She learned how to text a couple of years ago.  I am always concerned when I read them because they are always in caps.  I also receive gems such as this:

:^) HI KRISTEN!  :’)  MISS YOU :-

(  LOVE YOU!  :-) LOOK WHAT I HAVE

FOUND ON MY PHONE!  :-Q ONLY HAD

IT FOR OVER A YEAR – OR TWO! :-)

My mother also thinks that because I live in LA, I experience everything she sees on the news or reads in the paper within the state borders.  She says things like “How about that poor guy in Chatsworth”?  with the most sincere sympathy.  I explain to her that I don’t know where Chatsworth is, but yes, very sad about that guy.  Forget if there is an earthquake in San Francisco or a fire in San Diego… she calls and texts until I answer.  Which I find sweet

Art Show – Tonight!

Posted in Art, Events, New York by kristencoates on March 7, 2009

Well I was close…

 

Date:
Saturday, March 7, 2009
Time:
6:00pm – 8:00pm
Location:
Space B Gallery
Street:
257 B West 19th Street, Chelsea

The Gun Show, a group show of contemporary art at Space B gallery, focuses on art in the context of globalized democracy and the general Americanismus inspired by greed, the war on terrorism, and the second amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Within this environment of safety, via mutually assured destruction, contemporary art is born with a similar paradox to that of its considered subject—that of the artistic appropriation of iconoclasm. This show addresses questions like “How is it possible to make art that is avant-garde while living in a pluralistic society without restrictive qualifications?” Featuring:
Carole Caroompas
Oliver Held
Ron Laboray
Max Presneill
Jonah Olson
Paul Guillemette
Michael Arata
Eve Wood
Allison Stewart
Cherie Benner Davis
Mary Anna Pomonis
Reed B. Mc Millen
Patrick Masterson
Mark Dutcher
Maya Lujan
Elizabeth Wild
