Tropicália
Caetano Veloso, Brazilian political activist/songwriter & musician, is making my summer even hotter. I have been looking up translations for every possible song from this amazing collection of albums from 1968-1972. I want to know the poetry I am dancing around the house and shaking my ass to. So far very moving and beautiful.

The Female Gaze is Upon Herself
The Countess of Castiglione, 2005
The Countess of Castiglione, 1860
I am currently designing a catalog for an exhibtion at Steven Kasher gallery, entitled Inspired, curated by Beth Rudin DeWoody. This photo is my favorite so far, Len Prince & Jessie Mann's 2005 interpretation of Pierre-Louis Pierson's The Countess of Castiglione, c. 1860.
The Countess, Virginia Oldoini, was a visionary. Like most women in court, she had portraits taken. However, she became a bit obsessed and thought of it more as an artistic performance, a play she set the stage for. She directed the shoots with Pierre-Louis in which she re-created imporatnt scenes of her life; experimenting with props and fulfilling her own fantasy of the female gaze through the act of photography. 700 different photographs were created.
Maybe Lady Gaga should be taking more photos of herself and not making music?

Orange Flush.
These are a small series of photos taken by myself and the luminous Jaime Brassil. It was a little competition we entered together for Oyster Magazine, and the theme was .. um .. orange;) I would love to do this again.

Made me cry.
Whenever i see someone crying, i myself start to well up with tears. I don't know if it's a reflection of how i sometimes feel, if it is complete sympathy, or if it is simply contagious but it definitely happens. When i stumbled across Marina Abramovic's performance art, an exhibition featured at MOMA, and the portraits taken of its viewers, i was a bit of a mess. What do you think? Could the people's reactions be an internal reflection? Very thought provoking and beautiful. There are hundreds of portraits here. I wouldn't last 2 minutes...

Art is for sharing not keeping for yourself. The more people your work can speak to the more powerful it becomes. Let it fall out of your hands and into the minds of others. You can't own it, you can only create it -Hisham Bharoocha
I welcome these incredible Artist Music Journals with open arms.
p.s. I have finally emailed you some photos ; )
Best of luck with the project! I can't wait to see. xo

Dead Galaxy
I have a dear friend named Presser who recently had an exhibition at Mart Gallery of collages and pieces which are mostly galaxy inspired...and who is not inspired by the galaxy, seriously? Dead Galaxy II was Presser's second successful show and i am the lucky owner of at least 6 of his prints. Visit his site for more collages and if interested, send him a cosmic hello.
