If Larry Busbea can condense Adolf Loos’s essay “Ornament and Crime” to “Everyone who likes decorations is a sissy-baby,” then I can make my design history essay’s outline look like this:
Rise of Industrial Revolution
Eminem (Marx + Morris)
Loos bein’ a hater.
I finally got my final typography project back from last semester. We created a book of all the work we had done in the class, including sketches. It was expensive to print, and I hand-bound this book, but I got 100/100 points for it. I’m glad I have a good archive of my work.
This past Friday was the opening of the FACE Four Seasons show. The show is of women artists, and it includes emerging (juried), mid-career (invited), and advanced (jurors) artists. It is pretty open-themed, but the goal of the show is to give a sense of the multi-facets of women’s lives.
The show is split between three galleries in Tucson: Stone Dragon, Kachina, and 5th on 6th. I have a photo diptych in the Kachina Gallery (3rd floor of the SUMC at UofA), so come by and visit!

Interpretations:
>>Produced like Kemscott press model (Karen) of normal flesh
Means: Kelmscott Press model> printing press > Karen Zimmerman let me use a printing press > models have normal flesh (?)
>> Meant to be an art object, and it deflated in NY twice
Means: Deflated twice> a reference to this work by Claes Oldenberg that was vandalized. The piece inflated and deflated, and the twice refers to the the pre-vandalism and post-reconstructed forms.
I love involuntary typing. I wish that I could type up my dreams as I dreamt them, outside of class.
