Nailed It.

March 13, 2015 in Art, Mind Blips

"Barbara Kruger famously began her professional career as a designer for Mademoiselle and other magazines before defecting from the mass-media overculture to join the conceptual-art resistance. And she didn’t join the cause empty-handed. In her work, Kruger hacked the magazine world’s finely turned tools of cultural communication to begin conveying slogans that went in direct contrast to social conventions (particularly when it came to women): “gender is irrelevant,” for instance, or “your body is a battleground.” Many works declare positions that seem anthemic but then become more and more ambivalent with time, and, in this piece, “Culture Vulture” is both a mark of pride for its owner and an occasions for reflection on the more predatory sides of the arts industry." – ARTSPACE

spring cleaning 〰️ man, a little mop and broom goes a long way 〰️ #realtalk have been feeling stagnant the past couple weeks. anyone else? maybe it’s the shifting of seasons or the stars messing with but, i’ve been avoiding going into the studio, putting off making work and, just feeling off. after some solid conversations with badass babe creatives (thank you 💪🏻) i know i’m not alone and it’s part of the process. artist life is a series of highs and lows. just getting back in my space makes me feel recharged and not so depleted. also, the new plant additions help as well! .
