Art Department Rules

Sister Corita Kent and John Cage developed these rules. The list above was hand lettered by Lisa Congdon. Check out her post here.

I love this:  "The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something."

Wait Watchers

Cop

 

Aware that strangers often make fun of her, Haley Morris-Cafiero created a series of self-portraits shot in public in which people in the background are laughing, pointing, or staring. I heard about her work through this article. Here is how I interpret her project: she transformed painful scenarios into art. She made herself vulnerable. And she is definitely stimulating a dialogue about weight (check out the comments).

Thursday

Joy

This scene is from an upcoming movie called Big Easy Express. The documentary follows several bands traveling by train from San Francisco to New Orleans. In this clip, Mumford and Sons are playing with the Austin High School marching band.

 

 

This is some joyous music. And someone said of Big Easy Express: this tour is bound for glory. What a great motto.

Ephemeral Beauty

Nimbus

 

The photo is “Nimbus” by Berndnaut Smilde. He sets up the perfect conditions to create clouds indoors. Love, love the idea of having a puffy cloud overhead. “I’m interested in the ephemeral aspect of the work,” he said. Check out more about his work here.
