Things are possible… works of Yves Klein

KaylanSLeave a comment
its difficult enough having my heart, head and educational background rooted in modern & contemporary art and trying to ‘make it’ in the real world. i quite often feel pangs of guilt, cloudiness and (perhaps?) jaded optimism about somehow incorporating my passions + two Bachelor of Arts degrees to create a successful and fulfilling future career.
my usual conclusion is that i might be just as clueless and undecided about my future as i was when i graduated in May, 07. {le sigh}….
sure, i’ve acquired infinite meaningful and practical skills and tools over the last few years of working. and have been exposed to immeasurable eye-opening and significant opportunities, ideas and modes of operation. however, when i see videos like “With the Void, Full Powers” with Kerry Brougher and Philippe Vergne memories of working on 18page art theory papers in the library, and afternoons strolling through the Hirshhorn exhibitions during my Katzenberger fellowship come flooding back, throwing me into a transfixed state of ‘what could have/might have been/be’.
where am i going with all of this you might ask? …..yeah, no idea…except that the video confirms my LOVE for Yves Klein’s greatness!!
he was definitely an innovative artist in the 50s/60s pushing boundaries and exploring concepts of color, space and possibilties. plus, i don’t think ill ever be sick of IKB.
like the clip says, ‘what is extraordinary with Klein is that he thought everything was possible. that there is no limit. we can do anything we want. if we work on it.’

horo

With Jupiter (Mr. Growth) finally doing the CEO thing in your fame house, the year’s end looks fabulous. Geminis rule! Unfortunately, this transit doesn’t last forever, so determine now just who and what you want to be in 2011. Then act on it.

more SF fire

….a few more articles articulating the awesomeness of being in San Francisco right now

A Love Letter To The San Francisco Giants by Drew
“This town is effing electric….Marina guys are wearing the same goddamn t-shirt hipster guys are wearing. HOW CAN YOU NOT BOTTLE THIS MOMENT UP? We’re in a vacuum. Enjoy it.”

Beards, Wigs and Panda Heads: It’s Giants Baseball by NYtimes
“Brian Wilson and Tim Lincecum have these real odd personalities…and people here have really taken to them because, you know, it’s San Francisco. It’s not like a P.C. city.”
“I like Tim Lincecum…and I think marijuana should be legal.”

I LOVE MY CITY!

GIGANTESSSSSS

Right now is a extremely FUN time to be a San Franciscan.
Theres so much fire in the air with the GIANTS going to the World Series.

I’m SUPER pumped, and not only because i get to sport my sweet-ass Giants jacket for the Series, [ahem, its from 1994…. thats RIGHT!.. 4th grade baby!! and it JUST NOW fits me, 16years later!!!]  but there’s something in the air that’s making me especially proud to be a Bay Area native and current SF resident.

This article sheds some light into what im talkin about…

“One of the greatest pleasures of the Giants’ journey to the World Series – and the list is long – has been watching the rest of the country freak out over the routine eccentricities of Bay Area life”
“There are definitely advantages to having the rest of the country develop the false impression that your region is filled with nothing but crackpots. It seems to motivate the team. And in a roundabout way, the weird looks from the rest of the country help preserve our culture.”

LETS GO GIANTS
