I put this video together to see how the cuts would look with another video in mind.
I really like Jack Goldstein’s work, so I am very glad the Orange County Museum of Art picked this show up, while MOCA’s canceling of this show is a let down. I guess I’ll have to spend a lovely summer’s day in Newport Beach two years from now. Maybe I’ll have lunch at the Galley.

I just saw a bit of nature today. While driving, I saw a crow scavenging something and as I got closer I saw it was a dead pigeon it was trying to carry off. When I got home I googled the phrase, “crow eating…” and was suggested “… pigeon” before I could type it in. So it is a common thing, or common enough. I wasn’t surprised, but I don’t think I have ever seen it. I’ve seen vultures tearing apart a cow carcass in Texas canoeing down a river—in nature. This falls under the occurrences like seeing an eagle fly low over some cars on the freeway that had a wing span equal to the width on the compact sedan in front of me or a young deer walking through the parking lot of a grocery store in LA even though Griffith Park was only about two miles away—not surprising just something one does not see everyday.
Here are some recently completed bus shelter model paintings and a coffee cup. They are all eight by ten inches oil on canvas. They will be part of the Big Show 5 at Silas Marder gallery in BridgeHampton, NY.
Working image that I just shot.
This is the tiniest model I’ve made. Today, I built the building and sign today for a complete setting.
I took apart the hotwheel town and saved a few of the house. Here is number 18.
From the BBC, experts think the remains discovered in a Tuscan church almost certainly belong to Italian Renaissance artist, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.

Today, I was reading a NYTimes article on the Brooklyn Museum’s failure to draw in the crowds despite their “populist” approach. It made me think about how annoying I found the displays in the art portion of the Oakland Museum of California. At the mention of the new glass front of the Brooklyn Museum (added years ago), I realized there was nothing structural at the Oakland Museum with which I have an objection—the exploratorium aspects could be easily erased. It is mostly just paint and vinyl letters on the walls and some free standing displays. So, hopefully there will be a return to white or at least white-ish walls and less “lounges.”
Sharon (not her real name) was the cover image of Larry Sultan’s book The Valley (2004). The photo is currently on view at the Oakland Museum of California. At the time Sultan was taking photos for the project, I was taking picture of various models for a project I have yet to do.
A photo of Sharon I took circa 2000/1.
