over there
Dear LJ, and more to the point, dear friends who actually have followed this journal,
I haven't posted here in a while, and there are a couple of reasons. One being that the summer has been so busy (Berkeley Museum solo, a film project, a gallery show, teaching, work, and so forth...). Though being busy in the past has seldom stopped me from posting at least a bit now and then, so I come to my second reason:
My posting need has been satisfied lately by making "albums" on my artist FB page. They are like little curated exhibitions of work I like or at least find interesting and I post one to two a day. Not only is it somehow, and I'll admit strangely, satisfying, but it's also turning into a fun exercise. I'm posting a lot of artists whose work I know
(Matt Connors, Clair Barclay, Anthea Hamilton, Vincent Fecteau, Robert Kinmont, Josh Faught, Jo Baer, Mel Bochner, Glenn Ligon, Joep Van Lieland, Scott Hewicker, Jeff Burton, Elizabeth Zvonar, Adam Jeppesen, Paul Thek, AIDS-3D, Theo Michael, Tauba Auerbach, Allen Ruppersberg, Jo Jackson, Rachel de Joode and Evan Gruzis...)
but at the same time doing research and finding new artists every week
(Matthew Connors, Jean-François Lauda, Eben Goff, Karl Haendel, Julia Schmidt, Katja Novitskova, Timur Si-Qin, Michael DeLucia, Melanie Bonajo, Wafae Ahalouch el Keriasti, Mateo Tannatt, Nina Canell, Donna Chung, Nazafarin Lotfi, Virginia Overton, and Jane South...)
I don't know what the ends will be, or how long I'll keep it up, but for now it's working for me. I'm not abandoning my journal here quite yet. It's nice to have a place to throw up some thoughts as well. But for now I guess I'm resigning to not being here much in the near future. Appologies to those of you who have no interest in joining or following a Facebook page. I'm not even sure why I started doing this there, as opposed to say here or a tumblr page. Maybe no reason at all except for the ease of it: I already had the FB page and it just started happening naturally.
If you are on FB or course you have the option to "like" the page. Once I figure out what I'm doing there, and if it turns out to be anything I want to continue, well ... we'll see what happens. In the meantime, I guess that's going to be my main internet ACTIVITY (as opposed to my hours of internet-passivity). I have to find some ways to limit my time on here, or I'd get nothing done IRL.
