They highlight Independent Curators International and a handful of curatorial names (including Hans Obrist, pictured above). The author somehow seemed to both

Last night I got a message asking if I wanted to head to Central Park for a picnic tonight. Normally I would be reticent to agree to the trek on a Friday night after work (I’ve become quite the home-body recently) but it is, after-all, a FREE concert of the New York Phil Harmonic! I mean, what

Now that you had time to think about it over the Fourth, what say you? What does “God Bless America” mean? What kind of blessing is being evoked here? When asked this same question, one person told me they were asked a similar one in years past… “How about ‘God Bless China’ or ‘God Bless

(I shuddered, took a double take, and then shuddered again reading that sentence – I know it sounds condescending and lame, but stay
Dear Readers, Thank you for patiently waiting while the site was inactive. But I am back and looking forward to some more interviews (podcast or maybe even video?) as well as new observational research at a women’s arts conference this August! With a thankful heart, bonnieKate photo credit: Ira Lippke, who I owe many thanks for his
Incase you missed this video floating around the webosphere – it conveys some interesting ideas on consumerism and job creation. One comment I found interesting is regarding the limit to the spending a rich person can do to boost the economy – versus the disbursement of those funds across many more consumers: “My family owns 3 cars, not

Today I received an email from the Invisible Children project announcing the capture of a Commander of the LRA. They have been diligent to send updates to those interested in their campagne to end the Lord’s Resistance Army, which is a mobile one, by dismantling the leadership of Joseph Kony. One of the (many) tension points surrounding the LRA/KONY2012
