Facing the Sublime in Water, CA offers metaphors – both explicit and implicit – for the timeless idea that constraints and desperation can provide constructive applications and outcomes – unexpected or not – in a variety of social, political, and personal contexts. Whether accidentally or on purpose, constraints can make an idea, an action, or an object fluid. That conflict is at the core of the content of this show.
The idea for Facing the Sublime in Water, CA began as a response to another's fascination with the Salton Sea – a geographic anomaly that was created by an agricultural blunder, is California's largest lake, and is so immense that it is visible from space. The Salton Sea inspired artists and Nicole Antebi and Enid Baxter Blader to explore water issues and create a project entitled Water, CA, a website that includes images and texts Antebi and Blader gathered from artists, environmentalists, and historians, that address the history and representation of water and water use through the lens of artistic production. The exhibition checklist of Facing the Sublime in Water, CA will be added as a link on www.waterca.net – likewise, the website itself is an item on the exhibition checklist, is to be included in the exhibition itself (along with drawings, photographs, texts, books, videos, and other elements represented on the web site that will be selected and organized by Antebi and Blader), and will be listed accordingly in the accompanying catalogue. The elliptical relationship between these platforms – the website, the exhibition, and the exhibition catalogue – reflects the fluid constraints at the center of the show.
Milkha Singh
Bhaag Milkha Baag the Milkha Singh Movie
Indian Olympic running legend Milkha Singh — otherwise known as the Flying Sikh — gets the lavish biopic treatment in “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag,” a rousing and handsomely crafted sports drama that’s on sure footing when it sticks to the track.
The movie tells Milkha Singh Story.
However, falls short of its ambitions to turn Singh’s life into a metaphor for fraught Indo-Pakistani relations in the years following the 1947 Partition. Boasting an appealing lead performance by director-turned-actor Farhan Akhtar.
And the sturdy direction by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra who explored similar themes of personal and national identity in his 2006 “Rang de Basanti”.
This global July 12 release should post solid returns for producer Viacom 18. If somewhat less than portended by the pic’s high degree of advance hype.
Singh and his daughter, Sonia Sanwalka, co-wrote his autobiography, titled The Race of My Life. The book inspired Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Singh sold the film rights for one rupee and inserted a clause stating that a share of the profits would be given to the Charitable Trust.The Trust was founded in 2003 with the aim of assisting poor and needy sportspeople.

Sometimes it's too easy to read a poignant summary of the Human Condition into what is a beautiful, if inefficient, mode of plant reproduction. Nature is a mirror as much as Art: we can see ourselves everywhere if we look.
The community is not entirely settled on how many species of these things there are, to put it mildly.
Found for free on the curb near the Frick! It shall be my alliterative place to sit.
I love this strange seafoam grey-green changeling color; I hope it improves once it's been steam cleaned.
(Yes, everything in my life is color-coordinated. Even the serendipitous parts. It's ridiculous.)
"Even for Einstein it remained a dream
To unify the field, which makes it seem
Likely the rest of us won't get a gleam
Of how, or if, the whole works fit a scheme.
One merely hopes that we have made a start.
Our apprehensions might not melt the heart
Or even be heartfelt for the most part,
But from that insufficiency comes art."
"Echo Echo Echo" from Clive James (2003) "The Book of My Enemy: collected verse 1958-2003"
An open section of fences leading to an orange grove leading to the nearby high school leading to the mountains beyond. I'm sure there's something deep to say about this...
This is unexpected. The flower power house (joewilcox.com/2021/05/02/the-flower-power-house/) that I photographed last month has gone black—as you can see from the updated photo.
Obviously, some kind of renovation is underway, which the mural made lively—and that was a refreshing sight in a neighborhood where the clank, clank, clank of construction obliterates the soothing chatter of birds and occasional caw of crows. In these dark days of segregation and tribalism, fueled in part by so-called social justice warriors and their opponents, the repainting is a mood metaphor. Someone cancelled the expressive art. So let’s stretch it all into a symbol of cancel culture.
Beyond that grim sentiment, hope remains. Look at all those flowers, plants, and trees! I will watch with interest to see what this property becomes over the coming weeks. Who knows, maybe the next metaphor(s) will be about the propensity to protect the natural environment that sustains all living things on this planet.
