last year at artomatic 2008 neal and i started a "tradition" of "date night" at artomatic. there is so much art to see and it is hard to really view all in one time there. we decided that every wednesday we would go to artomatic for "date night". either we'd bring a picnic dinner, or last year bought food from one of our vendors (we hope "on the fly" will be back again...great food!).
we eat our dinner , usually on the floor where my art is (this year...9th floor right off the elevator) and then we would slowly walk around two floors. even though we would complete the floors so carefully, when we would return again to the floor (another "date night" night) we would see art we hadn't seen the first time. there is so much to see!
at our first "date night", may 14, we were able to look at all 8 floors as almost all of the 800 plus artists haven't started their installing of their work yet.
the 9th floor is planning a "artists get to know each other and celebrate the joy of aom" party.
i walked the 9th floor putting out advertisements for all the artists telling them about the party so they could join in.
after we did that we toured floors 8-5.
then a picnic dinner. then toured floors 4-2.
the busiest floors were 5 and 7. each floor had perhaps 10 artists working there.
i ran into a few folks i know (sean busy at work, veronica setting up, kevin and his grafetti, my partition mate lisa and her mosaics, to name a few). also met some new artists and admired the work of ben tolman.
neal and i will return next wednesday to "date" and have a look see. hopefully there will be more art up and ready...time is getting close!
day three of installation 1 may: the painting is done. the lights are up and today the art work was all hung, along with my name sign, business cards, and comment book for art loving patrons to write in.
neal and i were able to finish installing in three days! of course this is largely due to my wonderful neal who worked very hard to do the painting, lights and hanging the art.
and what did i do.......well.....i made the art and the picnic dinners and lavished praise and kisses on my great guy!
actually neal really enjoys doing all this. we have always, through out our marriage, worked well as a team and he likes "helpng out"...makes him feel part of the artomatic experience and also part of what i do in my llife as an artist. he is my biggest fan and supporter. knowing he is "in my corner" really aids in my creative processes!
in between hanging work we stopped for a picnic dinner.
now that i have finished hanging my work i can "relax", do my volunteer shifts and come to artomatic just to check up on my space and also see what the rest of the aom-ers are doing for install and get a sneak peek at the art work before the show opens.
the space turned out just as i had envisioned it. i am very pleased.
done with installation!!!!!!!!!!!!!
last year i painted my space lime green and it became known as "the lime green beast". this year i am painted my space orange. i wonder what it's "name" will be?
artomatic art show at new artomatic space...55 m st. SE, washington dc.
this is the space for one of my upcoming art shows...29 may to 5 july. artomatic is an art happening that occurs in the washington, dc area usually every year. this is the 10th year anniversary..so a special show. i have been in artomatic since 2007. there are around 800 artists that participate. not all are 2d artists. some are sculptors, musicians, dance, other performance artists (like fire eaters!), there is food, music, bars, and all sorts of happenings. it is one of the most popular shows in this area. all the art is for sale. i have had many good things happen to me art-wise with artomatic.
an artist can display anything they want. this year i will be showing my pastels.
the building is a new building under construction. the owner will let us have the art show there (FOR FREE...NO RENT) before he rents the building to businesses.
we built walls, partitions for artists to hang their work, rooms, stages, put in lighting, etc. all the artists do the work together.
it is great fun.
these are the partitions artomatic used in the artomatic '08 show. this year we turned the wood inside out...the surfaces from last year, that each artist painted/decorated to suit her/his artistic creation are now facing inward.
after artist selects their space they will begin to paint and hang their work.
following week:
i was very pleased to see a change since last wednesday. there were partitions painted, art installed, artists busy at work getting ready! though, give the 1000 plus aom artists, i'd say maybe only 25% or less was anywhere started (and very few actually completed). most of all the core wall spaces were totally untouched!
we visited 9-5 ( a good place to stop since that is where the bathrooms are! and yes, there is toilet paper...thanks to those who brought it).
then our picnic dinner, chatting with some of my space mates (glass folks), visiting with gerald, who stopped by while working his shift, to say hello and look at my work. we met gerald last year at aom '08. he makes fabulous africa masks. since that interests neal and i, and since we were, shortly after aom '08 ended, off to trek west africa, we had stopped to talk to him...and even if we weren't going to africa his masks are worth the look. this year gerald is on the 3rd floor. we are very pleased to see him again.
afterward we walked floors 4-2. had a fun talk with the fabulous paul of british ink as he was painting the outside of his space...in british flag colors of course!
we saw many new folks..stopped to talk about lights, partition colors, exciting art, etc.
observations:
the building is very noisy! the a/c "fans" that blow are deafening! neal and i had to shout, at times, to hear each other. this issue was raised during an epm meeting. it was put forth, by some, that once the building filled with artists and art loving patrons, the noise would be absorbed by all the people. i am really skeptical. i hope i am wrong as i personally find the noise very annoying and the thought of 1000 plus artists and all the visitors shouting at each other to be heard doesn't sound appealing....a cacophony of noise!!!!!!!
as mentioned before.....the installation seems to be only 25% done.........and less than that totally finished.......i am sure it will all be finished on time, but the mind boggles at the crowds at the loading dock, freight elevator, trouble parking after unloading due to nationals games........
orange, as a partition color, seems to be very popular this year. at least i had the first orange...and probably the only one with a name (vote vote vote). in fact, one artist, in my row space, painted her wall orange....you can see my wall and then near the window hers. i trust my family and friends that i tell "get off the elevator at 9, go immediately south west. my space is the orange wall right off the elevator" will not be confused headonwall
many artists "expanded" their space by hanging projections of signs sticking out from core walls into the walk way. others "expanded" their space by having projections coming off of the cement columns. (some, it seemed to me, encroaching on their partition mates). one artist, on a lower floor, who must have a space in front of the window, covered all the windows, top to bottom, with heavy black material...that made all the partition spaces there look as if they were in the dark. i fear it will be very hard to see their art. cores walls, i thought were suppose to be painted white or off white. i saw a brown core wall (true a light brown, but?). supposedly cement columns not to be painted or used for art...but i saw columns painted and art hung on them (i may not be up to date on the
"why" of that).
an amusing sight....an artist painting her core wall in her bra! neal was a gentleman and averted his eyes.
the line of cars to get to the loading dock stretched around the corner and down the block! the cars were 4 across and three deep at the loading dock itself! i have no idea how long the wait was for the freight elevator as i didn't use it.
we had a wonderful "date night". great aom energy. a lovely way to spend the evening.........we will "date night" next tuesday since aom will be closed wednesday in anticipation of the opening 29 may!!!!
starting april 29 artomatic artists will be installing their work.
the show runs 29 may-5 july.
the show runs 29 may-5 july.

Nunca hemos sido

Looking out from the tower of Hereford Cathedral, in Hereford Herefordshire. The current Hereford Cathedral dates from 1079 and is a Grade I listed building. Its most famous treasure is Mappa Mundi, a mediaeval map of the world dating from the 13th century.
The cathedral is dedicated to two patron saints, namely Saint Mary the Virgin and Saint Ethelbert the King. The latter was beheaded by Offa, King of Mercia in the year 792. Offa had consented to give his daughter to Ethelbert in marriage: why he changed his mind and deprived him of his head historians do not know, although tradition is at no loss to supply him with an adequate motive. The execution, or murder, is said to have taken place at Sutton, four miles (6 km) from Hereford, with Ethelbert's body brought to the site of the modern cathedral by 'a pious monk'. At Ethelbert's tomb miracles were said to have occurred, and in the next century (about 830) Milfrid, a Mercian nobleman, was so moved by the tales of these marvels as to rebuild in stone the little church which stood there, and to dedicate it to the sainted king.
Before this, Hereford had become the seat of a bishopric. It is said to have been the centre of a diocese as early as the 6th century. In the 7th century the cathedral was refounded by Putta, who settled here when driven from Rochester by Æthelred of Mercia. The cathedral of stone, which
Milfrid raised, stood for some 200 years, and then, in the reign of Edward the Confessor, it was altered. The new church had only a short life, for it was plundered and burnt in 1056 by a combined force of Welsh and Irish under Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, the Welsh prince; it was not, however, destroyed until its custodians had offered vigorous resistance, in which seven of the canons were killed.
Hereford Cathedral remained in a state of ruin until Robert of Lorraine was consecrated to the see (made Bishop) in 1079 and undertook its reconstruction. His work was carried on, or, more probably, redone, by Bishop Reynelm, who was next but one in the succession, and reorganised the college of secular canons attached to the cathedral. Reynelm died in 1115, and it was only under his third successor, Robert de Betun, who was Bishop from 1131 to 1148, that the church was brought to completion.
Of this Norman church, little has survived but the choir up to the spring of the clerestory, the south transept, the arch between the north transept and the choir aisle, and the nave arcade. Scarcely 50 years after its completion William de Vere, who occupied the see from 1186 to 1199, altered the east end by constructing a retro-choir or processional path and a Lady Chapel; the latter was rebuilt not long afterwards—between the years 1226 and 1246, during the Early English style—with a crypt beneath. Around the middle of the century the clerestory, and probably the vaulting of the choir, were rebuilt, having been damaged by the settling of the central tower. Under Bishop Aquablanca (1240–68), one of Henry III's foreign favourites, the rebuilding of the north transept was begun, being completed later in the same century by Bishop Swinfield, who also built the aisles of the nave and eastern transept.

Happy Birthday date!
A year ago, an independent Ukraine seemed to have only days to live as the Russian hordes struck towards Kyiv and smashed the frontlines dating back to 2014. The unstoppable Second Army of the World's victory was inevitable and just a matter of time as far as most of the rest of the World was concerned. Nobody told the Ukrainians.
With the fortitude of Ukraine, Putin's three day Special Operation has mutated into a monstrous brutal bloody nightmare pitting Soviet artillery and attritional warfare tactics of 80 years ago against the more hi-technology and necessarily asymmetric tactics of Ukraine but still with the horrors of trench warfare.
The wondrous spirit and strength of the Ukrainian people are a marvel although like almost all heroes, they did not have the luxury of any other alternative but to fight.
An entirely unhappy anniversary but with Ukrainian spirit and yet more Ukrainian blood, supported by NATO, Ukraine will hopefully prevail and by this time next year, all of Ukraine will have driven out the Orc hordes and Putin will be lying at the bottom of a very tall building like so many of the Russian elite have over the last 12 months. The people of all NATO and all other democratic nations should be on their knees with gratitude for Ukraine fighting this filthy war, suffering so much pain and having so much of its own blood spilt. Providing all the logistics intelligence and weaponry needed to support Ukraine is the very least we should be expected to do.
Slava Ukraina
Рік тому незалежна Україна, здавалося, мала жити лише кілька днів, коли російські орди вдарили в бік Києва і розбили лінії фронту, починаючи з 2014 року. Нестримна перемога Другої армії світу була неминучою і була лише питанням часу, що стосується більшої частини решти світу. Українцям ніхто не казав.
З силою духу України триденна спецоперація Путіна мутувала в жахливий жорстокий кривавий кошмар, що протиставляє радянську артилерію і тактику виснаження 80-річної давності проти більш високотехнологічної і обов'язково асиметричної тактики України, але все ще з жахами окопної війни.
Дивовижний дух і сила українського народу – це диво, хоча, як і майже всі герої, вони не мали розкоші жодної іншої альтернативи, окрім як боротися.
Абсолютно нещасливий ювілей, але з українським духом і ще більшою кількістю української крові, підтриманої НАТО, Україна, сподіваюся, переможе, і до цього часу наступного року вся Україна вижене орди орків, а Путін буде лежати на дні дуже високої будівлі, як і багато хто з російської еліти протягом останніх 12 місяців.Народ усіх країн НАТО і всіх інших демократичних країн має стояти на колінах з вдячністю за те, що Україна веде цю брудну війну, терпить стільки болю і має стільки власної крові. Забезпечення всією логістичною розвідкою та озброєнням, необхідними для підтримки України, – це найменше, що нам слід очікувати.
Слава Україна
