Now, that I am on the UCLA campus three days a week, I'm excited to spend more time at the Hammer Museum. I find this to be one of the most exciting programs happening in Los Angeles at the moment. This upcoming exhibition, opening on October 4, is curated by Robert Gober. This exhibition will feature some of the wallpapers Charles made as a wallpaper designer, in the early 20's, and they will be installed on the walls. So excited!

Heat Waves in a Swamp: The Paintings of Charles Burchfield
Hammer Museum, Los Angeles

Sunflowers (design for M. H. Birge & Sons Company wallpaper), 1921.
Watercolor and graphite on paper mounted on board, 27 1/2 x 20 in.


Heat Waves in a Swamp will be the first major Charles Burchfield exhibition to be mounted on the west coast and the first in New York for more than twenty years. Arranged chronologically, it approaches Burchfield’s work with a new perspective facilitated in part by the curatorial sensibilities of Robert Gober. Working with Hammer coordinating curator Cynthia Burlingham, Gober has augmented a large selection of watercolors with the inclusion of extensive biographical material that continually infuses Burchfield’s own thoughts about his work and artistic practice. An obsessive collector, organizer, and archivist, Burchfield left a treasure trove of well-maintained sketches, notebooks, journals, and doodles spanning his entire career. This material is now part of the Burchfield Penney Art Center at Buffalo State College, which houses more than twenty five thousand objects by this visionary American artist. The exhibition will travel to the Whitney Museum of America Art in New York and the Burchfield Penney Art Center.

Although aware of the art of his time, Charles Burchfield spent his working life immersed in his own local environment in upstate New York, trusting and then challenging his creative instincts, often looking backwards in order to go forward, and steadfast in his belief of “the healthy glamour of everyday life.” His paintings vibrate with color and sound like visual symphonies where the humming of insects, rustling leaves, bells, moonbeams, and vibrating telephone lines are woven together to reveal the beauty and power of the American landscape. Side by side with his journals and notes these paintings explore both physical and psychological terrain. Edward Hopper, fellow artist and close colleague, once said that Burchfield’s work "is most decidedly founded, not on art, but on life, and the life that he knows and loves best.”

Saint Verde Digest, by Neville Trickett

Thank you Neville! Your blog is truly one of the best. I love the way that your pair images so that the reader comes away with something different. The world is a much more beautiful and serene place through your detailed vision. Anyone interested in art, interiors, design, drawing, and patterns should read Saint Verde Digest. It's truly one of the highlights of my morning. Now that I am not blogging, I have more time to concentrate on the blogs that I love to read. In the upcoming weeks, I'll be promoting other sites that are inspiring me at the moment.

"cross over children,
cross over children.
all are welcome
go into the light.
there is peace and serenity in the light."

"The astral plane, also called the astral world,
is a plane of existence postulated by classical, medieval,
oriental and esoteric philosophies and mystery religions.
It is the world of the planetary spheres, crossed by the soul in its astral body
on the way to being born and after death,
and generally said to be populated by angels, spirits or other immaterial beings.
In the late 19th and early 20th century the term
was popularised by Theosophy and neo-Rosicrucianism."

"The idea of astral travel is rooted in common worldwide religious accounts of the afterlife in which the consciousness' or soul's journey or "ascent" is described in such terms as "an...out-of body experience, wherein the spiritual traveler leaves the physical body and travels in his/her subtle body (or dream body or astral body) into ‘higher’ realms." It is therefore associated with near death experiences and is also frequently reported as spontaneously experienced in association with sleep and dreams, illness, surgical operations, drug experiences and forms of meditation. It is also sometimes cultivated for its own sake or may be believed to be a faculty derived from or necessary to some forms of spiritual practice.

It may involve "travel to higher realms" called astral planes but is commonly used of any sensation of being "out of the body" in the everyday world, even seeing ones body from outside or above. It may be reported in the form of an apparitional experience, a supposed encounter with a doppelganger, some living person also seen somewhere else at the same time."

9/20 @ 8pm

"Jeff Perkins' Light Show "Light sculptures hover in space, slowly growing and merging into primitive, but at the same time, futuristic forms. The present, the rational world, is erased. Hypnotic, entrancing and unpredictable, they awaken the unconscious mind, and evoke primordial, inchoate existences pre-dating H. P. Lovecraft's ancient Cthulu gods. The dreamer journeys into numberless spaces, worlds beyond comprehension which change and merge, collapse and grow into archetypes of a primeval, timeless connection with the fetal mind." -- Peter Mays Alongside artists such as Nam Jun Paik and Yoko Ono, Jeff Perkins was a member of the Fluxus group in the mid-1960s and later in the early '70s, an innovator and practitioner of psychedelic light shows as a member of California’s Single Wing Turquoise Bird (who played live along with rock bands like The Velvet Underground and The Grateful Dead). First performed in the late '60s and early 70’s in Venice, CA, his light projection pieces are highly minimal but not at all static. This evening, Jeff will be performing a live set (with a special musical guest), using hundreds of slides and four projectors. The slow flickering dissolves, from patterns to minimal shapes, will optically trick the mind into thinking it's a constant moving image -- a show not to be missed."

Ercole Barovier
1950's and 60's
Italian lamps

"Entrepreneur and designer Ercole Barovier was the son of Benvenuto Barovier,who at the age of 30 he became a partner in his father's company, the Vetreria Artistica Barovier & C.
After becoming its artistic director in 1926, he took over its management with his brother Nicol and in 1936 he became sole proprietor, engineering the fusion between his own glass workshop and the S.A.I.A.R. Ferro-Toso.
In 1942, the new company was renamed Barovier & Toso, where Ercole maintained artistic direction until 1972.

Over the course of his 50-year activity, he invented numerous decorative techniques which contributed significantly to the renovation of art glass."
