Art makes me happy

[imomus]

Yesterday Hisae and I caught the penultimate day of Art Forum Berlin, the local equivalent of New York's Armory Show or London's Frieze Art Fair (which we'll see in a fortnight).

What can I say? In a sad old world, art makes me happy.

Hisae makes you happy too.

[imomus.livejournal.com]

Yes, that too, bien sur! I'm a lucky man.

the top tezt reminds me of my favourite karaoke place in my former home county...a Japanese-owned joint called Elvis?!

By the way, Nina and Ari are better appreciated here (http://www.galerie-beckers.de/display.php?cat=artists&id=4&mode=single&num=1).

Oh, thanks! I was hoping to get a larger picture of them

I happen to be listening to Nina in Threepenny Opera right this moment.

The fellow in the yellow jammies looks Belgian to me for some reason. Must be the sturdy build and undersized bowler hat.

The art world does not like me :(

In your case "art" generally = garbage.

Artichoke?

[cerulicante.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...if art makes you happy, then what is your position on artichokes?


I mean, you get the dizzying ecstasy of "art," the anthropocentric concept of self in the "I," but then, the inherent self-destructiveness of Mankind in the "choke." In one word, you find the salvation of Man, His unavoidable selfishness and then His inevitable death by His own hands.


The implications boggle the mind...and require thorough boiling and some lemon juice, too.

[trini-naenae.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It does. Or maybe even better, it makes me content. Isn't that great?

[nicepimmelkarl.livejournal.com]

it's great trini fp...

Good days = really large image montages saved as single images!

Also, why Arial instead of Helvetica?

Times New Roman. Go on. Be wild.

Baahhh, Baskerville is always Better!

Well, not all the time.
It's catchy, though.

helvetica neue has my heart. 'til something nicer comes along anyway.

Re: i need art now, i'm hurt

[alphacomp.livejournal.com]

Helvetica Neue Light and Ultralight Italic = Thumbs Way Up.

I've been smitten by Futura Extra Bold Oblique, myself.

Re: i need art now, i'm hurt

[cityramica.livejournal.com]

i don't have that on my machine! i'm devestated. i'll go find it right now.

fonts are delicious.

Art makes me happy, too. Kind of.

I bought Ocky Milk yesterday.

I feel it's too early for me to say anything particularly intelligent about it, but at the moment I like Nervous Heartbeat, Permagasm and Zanzibar. I'm not yet at the point where I can easily put the titles to the tracks, but these ones stand out so far.

I recently came to the conclusion that Oskar Tennis Champion is my favourite Momus album.

That was me

I thought I was permanently logged in, but apparently not. That was me that bought Ocky Milk yesterday.

Bread faces for the win.

i need art now, i'm hurt

[rroland.livejournal.com]

yes, i need to get out of work early. yesterday the lead singer quit because he found 'God'...i messaged him that 'God' is a concept, 'God' dosen't book shows, pickup people at bus stations. But 'James' did take on the lead singing duties for the show on which he bailed on myself and four other mates. i'm sad, i invested a lot of time and $$ in that band and now it's DOA...i go to deyoung...i go look at cage painting...i hope i feel better

Re: i need art now, i'm hurt

[cityramica.livejournal.com]

aww. i bet you're a better lead singer anyway. i want to go to the De Young too...is it free today? not that i can leave work or anything...

Re: i need art now, i'm hurt

[rroland.livejournal.com]

i have a membership...someday we should get sean and virgil to go too!

Re: i need art now, i'm hurt

[cityramica.livejournal.com]

yeah!! i've never even been to the de young...i missed the gala opening. Virgil helped build one of the pieces there when he was working for Jim Campbell. :)

[cap-scaleman.livejournal.com]

Awh! Cute lovers running around at that art forum! Did you two do any cute "rowdyism"?

[nicepimmelkarl.livejournal.com]

one thing's for sure, guys. art needs a lorry.

[cityramica.livejournal.com]

nice new icons, fella.

[imomus.livejournal.com]

The new default one is actually taken by Jen DeNike (http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/arts/art/11264/index4.html), who's quite a famous artist / photographer. But it's not one of her "official" pictures. She just grabbed my camera when she was in Berlin recently and shot me at a party.

[cityramica.livejournal.com]

very nice. though i think my favourite is still the icon with you in warhol-y wig & famicom controller.
