The epic life of a world class artist, jammed into 6 minutes…

I usually only post my own images on here, but I had to take a quick break from that to tell you that you should watch this video on John Baldessari. Don’t know who John Baldessari is? Even better, this will help. I’ve watched it multiple times. It’s so great.

John Baldessari as narrated by Tom Waits.

My blunt, open-ended response to a City of Vancouver survey on an Arts and Culture Advisory Committee

“Having moved to Vancouver a year ago from Berlin, I’ve seen how a city with a thriving art scene differs from Vancouver’s struggling one. The resources, culture, and openness towards emerging artists and a thriving art scene are lacking considerably in Vancouver. I would love to see this change, but I’m not sure it’s in the Vancouver cultural DNA to do so.”

"Censorship is the tool of those who have the need to hide actualities from themselves and from others. Their fear is only their inability to face what is real, and I can’t vent any anger against them. I only feel this appalling sadness. Somewhere, in their upbringing, they were shielded against the total facts of our existence. They were only taught to look one way when many ways exist."

Watch It.

Olly Moss art show @ Gallery 1988 presented by Treadless.

Big fan of Olly Moss’s minimalist approach to all his art/designs.

Oh I wish I could have been there.

LOVE.

Fire with Fire installation by Isabelle Hayeur…

Although it might look like it, this building isn’t actually on fire. The conflagration is a choreographed art installation by Isabelle Hayeur in Downtown Eastside, Vancouver. The fire is created via video projectors and 3 blu-ray players. The effect, however, is completely realistic. Watch the video to see the ignition to all out 5 alarm. (via)
