Ann Pibal’s LDFSX (2008), on view at the Hirshhorn Museum, is a striking exploration of geometry, balance, and color theory that challenges our perception of space. Painted in acrylic on panel, this 45 x 60 inch work features a hypnotic network of orange and white lines intersecting across a black background, creating an intricate dance of form and rhythm that evokes both architecture and abstraction.
Pibal’s composition is built on a minimalist grid structure, where diagonal and horizontal lines intersect, overlap, and create dynamic shapes that seem to push and pull at the boundaries of the canvas. The bold orange lines exude a vibrant energy against the stark black, while the white lines add a sense of balance and structure, guiding the eye through the work’s shifting planes.
Installed on a vivid orange wall, the painting’s chromatic tension extends into the gallery itself, blurring the line between artwork and environment. The interplay between the painting’s internal geometry and its external setting enhances its immersive quality, inviting viewers to engage with the piece both visually and physically.
LDFSX embodies Pibal’s distinctive approach to painting, where precision meets spontaneity and order meets complexity. The work reflects her interest in modernist ideals while embracing contemporary design sensibilities. Visitors at the Hirshhorn are encouraged to lose themselves in the painting’s rhythmic interplay of lines, discovering new angles and perspectives with each step.
This installation exemplifies the Hirshhorn Museum’s commitment to presenting innovative contemporary art that invites reflection, conversation, and delight in the power of form and color.
Nestled in the heart of San Francisco's SOMA district, the Mission Creek Channel offers a unique blend of modern architecture and historical charm. Once a bustling industrial waterway, Mission Creek has evolved into a tranquil urban oasis, featuring a striking juxtaposition of contemporary high-rise buildings and quirky houseboats. The channel's history dates back to the 19th century when it served as a vital transportation route for goods arriving at the nearby ports. Today, it is a sought-after residential area known for its eclectic community and proximity to the city’s tech hubs.
The channel is home to a variety of architectural styles, from sleek, glass-clad condos reflecting the city’s modern vibe, to the more whimsical, colorful houseboats that pay homage to San Francisco's storied past. These floating homes, often adorned with vibrant artwork and lush rooftop gardens, capture the spirit of innovation and creativity that the city is known for. The area is also a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with the nearby Mission Creek Park offering scenic trails, kayaking opportunities, and bird-watching spots along the water’s edge.
Whether you're drawn by the striking waterfront views, the rich history, or the thriving local culture, Mission Creek Channel encapsulates the diverse essence of San Francisco. It’s a must-see for anyone looking to experience the city’s blend of old and new, urban and natural, in one of its most picturesque settings.

This building is located where Loftus Lane meets King's Inns Street in Dublin.
Donnelly & Moore designed this large building as a jam and sweet factory and it was constructed by G. & T. Crampton for Williams & Woods in 1910. There was confectionary factory on the site since 1856.
To the best of my knowledge it operated as a data storage centre for many years. The building is being now being developed as a creative community, Chocolate Factory, with studios, event spaces and a cafe.

A gleaming testament to modern minimalism, this captivating gold sculpture stands tall on a wooden pedestal at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. The piece, with its reflective surface and geometric forms, embodies both elegance and simplicity, creating a powerful dialogue between materials and shapes. At first glance, it might appear as a simple cylindrical form split into angular segments, but a closer inspection reveals a precise and balanced composition that plays with reflections and light, drawing the eye to every angle.
Set atop a sturdy wooden pedestal crafted from rich, warm-toned wood, the sculpture gains an organic contrast. The pedestal itself is a work of art—a geometric base rising to a square platform, topped by a perfectly cut cross-section of the tree trunk, complete with visible growth rings and natural cracks. This juxtaposition between the organic texture of the wood and the polished, reflective gold surface above highlights the artist’s exploration of nature, craft, and industrial materials.
The clean lines and minimalist design echo the broader aesthetic of the Hirshhorn’s modern art collection, where form and material often take center stage. The museum’s subtle white walls and ambient lighting cast gentle shadows that enhance the sculpture’s dimensionality. Even in its simplicity, this piece feels dynamic—its polished surface captures hints of the surrounding space, blurring the line between the artwork and the viewer’s reflection.
For visitors, this sculpture offers a moment of contemplation: a study in contrasts, materials, and craftsmanship. It invites the viewer to consider the relationship between nature and human-made forms, and how the two can coexist beautifully in the language of modern art.
There is of course a story here. The previous tenant of the Caroline Collective made artificial joints. And there are strangely enough bone fragments and metal joint discards laying around. Very odd.
It is also odd that Matt and Ned leave these things lying about. So here is to coworking.... with ghosts?
The City of Santa Rosa and Artspace Projects, a national, nonprofit organization, are conducting a study of the space needs of artists of all disciplines and arts and cultural organizations and creative and arts-friendly businesses in Santa Rosa and the surrounding region.
To help them make informed decisions about the needs, take the survey linked below. It will take approximately 15 minutes to complete and may be taken at separate times. Your input is critical to the success of the project and will ensure that new space meets the needs of the creative community, including type, number and size of spaces, design features, affordability, and amenities.
A lot of this is grassroots and depends on your input so they can make informed decisions and pass it on!

Light. The word conjures up so many phrases and images we hold in common. It can signify life and death, hope and the final end. Is there light in this city? Over the past few years it seems what little light remained was fading and failing to poke through the economic gloom. Spending much of my life as something of a contrarian, I think that is an indication the light might be at its brightest. You see, once all of the experts and the pundits declare something as settled and final, change is afoot. Detroit is dead, a relic of the 20th century, is how many of these experts would have us believe. They back up their position with reams of data and trend analysis. The problem with all of their facts is they are backward looking. They do an excellent job of placing context around what has happened, but their value in predicting the future is limited, if useful at all.
What cannot be accounted for in economic models is innovation and emotion. I figure if these models offered any type of reliable method for predicting innovation and the next big thing, their work would never be published. Instead they would keep their formula secret and get in on the ground floor of these new industries before the pesky public runs up the price. This all leads to the contrarian in me to say when all seems lost the turn around is probably near. Of course I offer no insight as to the nature of that turn around other than this; at some point housing and real estate in Detroit will become so cheap as to make it a no brainer for a variety of investors and entrepreneurs. We are already witnessing some this as Detroit is becoming something of a magnet for the creative class. This is a good thing. Innovation is often spurred by the renegades amongst us. Innovation leads to new opportunities, new businesses and new jobs. There is a light peaking through the Michigan gloom, it is a creative light.
