Tell Me Who You Are

2010-02-19T02:57:00.001-08:00

Today I catapult myself into self-scrutiny.

For the next 40 days and 40 nights, I will be keeping detailed notes on the way, manner, and method in which I "spend my time." At the end of this data-gathering term, I will compile and report my findings to the public with an emphasis on comparative data.

I invite the world at large to investigate my findings at my next exhibition, where I will bombard the sensory environment with large scale statistical reports including flow-charts, pie-charts, and bar-charts.

A simple explanation of who I am no longer satisfies in this era of hyper-information reporting and loss of privacy.

Let the data collection begin.

This is a great resource through Carnegie Library System. It is a searchable collection of grant and foundation resources with a full time dedicated staff there to assist you. They just moved to the Oakland branch.

I'm excited about the possible applications of this program. It's supposed to be open source eventually. How would you use it?

A Good Day's Work

2010-01-08T22:34:00.000-08:00

I'm so glad that I didn't go. I worked from home today to avoid the snow. There were artists working in the background discussing dinosaurs and magic doors. While I was making my west coast sales calls.

We have a meeting approaching. This is a reminder and a question.
Does anyone have any food allergies?

Here's a picture of the mold I'll be using for my sculptures....

Death Masks of Living Artists

2009-12-15T11:58:00.001-08:00

After our discussion last week, I've done some research on death masks (not to sound morbid), and I think it would be an interesting thing to make them of living artists. This link on Death Masks says you can make them on live, breathing people...

I would just need some brave models who would allow me to put vaseline in their eyebrows...any takers?

Thanks,

Fred Tomaselli

2009-12-12T17:04:00.000-08:00

As promised here are some images by Fred Tomaselli. They don't come across as well (of course) in reproductions much of the time, but the pieces I've seen in person were quite gorgeous. The imagery teeters on failure, but I think he pulls it off. But, then again, I say this as I'm listening to Phil Collins' "True Colors."
