I went to this with Sam and Jeff–Steadman showed up late.

The show was good–a little, actually a lot of clutter to the installation–seemed like a college show in a lot of ways.

I liked the Pettibon drawings–very colorful & very political.

Steadman, Jeffery, and I watched atom bombs going off.

Sam and I spent a lot of time in the store.

Very fun day at Bowers. It was international day–so the kids got face painting, henna hand tattoos, watched magicians, Chinese acrobats, made Christmas ornaments. A very fun time for them.

Jack, Kate, and I went on the Asian Arts tour–docent was decent, but the works were amazing. There was a lot of very strong stuff.

I learned that dragons lived in ponds, the Tao-Ti was a glutton who protected us, that the Chinese did not have grapes until very late–Gu means wine glass in Chinese.

Later we went and meet Santa & played drums. Jack and I played African stone games. Tons of fun.

A good trip to the LACMA. This must be one of the most photographed pieces of art in the world.

Toby and I went over and had on OK day looking at Cheech’s art collection.

I had read about this new exhibit space in Art Forum blogs I think.

I went down to check it out.

The space was in transition.

They were moving buildings. The staff pointed me up and down a few halls and outside around the corner into the new building and up the stairs into the lobby near the secretary. Eventually, I was referred to Mr. Park who had set up some of the shows.

He showed me down a few halls and outside around the corner into the new building and up the stairs into the lobby near the secretary. He dropped a lot of names I did not know. He talked about his vision for upcoming shows. We talked about curration.

It was a very weird gallery experience.
