Probably the coolest fucking thing I’ve seen today. The whole episode of Art in the Twenty-First Centuryfeaturing Catherine Opie will air on PBS in April.

Dawn Kasper has recreated her studio for the Whitney. This is my favorite piece of hers, though: “This Is How I Fuck My Environment.”

Gertrude Stein was lucky enough to have a lot of amazing artists as friends, and she collected their works to hang on the walls of her residence at 27 rue de Fleurus in Paris. The Steins Collect: Matisse, Picasso, and the Parisian Avant-Garde in San Francisco will likely be nothing short of awe-inspiring, especially with the historic owners accompanying the greatness of the art on display.
“An audience is always warming but it must never be necessary to your work.”

Last night, Julie and I went to my alma mater to see a new exhibit called Tomboy. It’s six lesbian artists whose work is all commenting on identity, and on being a woman - a lesbian - and not yet subscribing to that fully.
I really enjoyed Kelli Connell’s series of photographs, all using the same model in two different roles. They only used a handful in Tomboy, but the rest can be viewed online.
Julie was excited about Mary George’s piece, Cult of the Endorphins, which was a workroom of things like indoor 5ks, woodworking and impromptu jam sessions on the drums that incite natural highs. They’re all very masculine things, or assumed to be as a workroom would probably be in most instances. But not for people like Julie or Mary - that’s just what makes them high.
