Poster for Hunter College BFA & MFA Open Studios Saturday March 14 5-9pm 205 Hudson Street
If you're in the NYC area and interested in what younger artists are up to, the @huntercollege.bsky.social open studios event—next Saturday March 14, 5-9pm at 205 Hudson Street—is always a blast, a great way to see many different types of art all in one place. Come join us..!
For @time.com, I wrote a short essay about the first time, years ago, that I went to a ballet alone, where I entered the theater with a cheap, single ticket and emerged with a love of solo outings. I also chatted with people about activities they love to do alone, from hikes to movies to meals out:
It's fine, though fairly light. It's for a class on Modern Latin American history.
The chapter is about the 1800s... or today.
It's so nice. It's been raining all week so they snuck up on me!

Oh no. Not good!

Not too badly. Mostly finished now.
Let's see how writing this 5am PPT goes.
9:15pm, two contract amendments written. Logging off for a hot bath and a cup of tea.
Now only a PPT deck to revise and polish by 10:30am. 😒

I do not have time for a Latin American History midterm this week, universe!
This is how I learned that Chicago has flying squirrels. Neat!
I am jack of all trade/master of none: I have to sell it, then write the contract/amendment, then project manage it, make it work, report out on results, provide insights, make sure the client stays happy long term.
Oh no worries. That's what I'm doing.
My brain is wearing roller skates on ice this morning when I really need it to focus to write two contract amendments.

Oil and charcoal on canvas, abstract cubist bodies piled together. Description from MOMA site: "With its varying degrees of finish—you can see traces of charcoal and sections of blank canvas—and vast network of undulating lines and geometric shapes, Picasso seems to have obscured legibility in favor of generating a rhythmic abstraction. As if questioning the ability of painting to represent war, he created a shifting, spectral vision."
Picasso's depiction of a fascist massacre, a murdered family unceremoniously tangled together under a dining table.

Excellent! May the rest of your day be warmer.
Who turned the heat off on Friday and forgot to turn it back on again?
Over here typing emails in a 58° house wondering why I can't warm up.
