"Elegante y muy cabrona." I labor at the word factory for Alta, NYRB, The Atlantic, Fresh Air, KCRW, NYT and others.
If SFMOMA is going to be putting AI animations in their galleries drawn from historic imagery — they need to be far more clearly labelled. My latest in Art Insider from @kcrw.com: email.kcrw.com/white-house-...
SFMOMA quoted a critic on its facade and didn't even bother to namecheck him. My feeling is that if you're gonna put a quote of mine on your building (even if it's to make me look like an asshole), please include my name so that I can take selfies in front of it.
In this week's Art Insider for @kcrw.com, contributor @leighann3000.bsky.social listened to Willie Birch spin yarns about his life and his work — and his (and our country's) connections to New Orleans: email.kcrw.com/willie-birch...
Christina Catherine Martinez offers a smart take on a thin show — "Marilyn Monroe: Hollywood Icon," at the Academy Museum. The latest in Art Insider for @kcrw.com: email.kcrw.com/marilyn-monr...

The cool thing about living in LA is that you can be here for years and learn about some curious art space featuring collections of oddities. Here's @leighann3000.bsky.social on the 40th anniversary of MorYork in Highland Park: email.kcrw.com/highland-par...
Raul Guerrero, "The Man Without a Face," 1994. Seen during a quick jaunt through the Art Institute of Chicago.
Tamara de Lempicka was an artis who knew her way around green, as in "Young Woman in Green," c. 1931.
The cover of "Voice of the Image-Nation," November 1941, designed by Grace Talbert — seen in a show about sci-fi at USC's Fisher Museum.
Roberto Matta's "Malitte lounge furniture," 1966 — spotted in a not-great show at MoMA.
Howard Smith's "The Black Hand," 1968, spotted at the Palm Springs Art Museum.
"Y me quedé sin nombre," 1974, by Freddy Rodriguez — seen at the Whitney.
Cecilia Álvarez Muñoz's 1988 painting, "Lana Sube" — spotted at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.
In honor of The Algae, here are some green things I have seen: Roberto Matta, "Abrir el cubo y encontrar la vida," 1969 — at the Museo de Bellas Artes in Santiago
So that shelter-in-place order was lifted for the Boyle Heights fire and yet...
Vintage Johnie's Diner menu spotted during Gary Baseman's show. Bring back the pancake sandwich! Also, bring back those prices!
Titian, "The Submersion of Pharoah's Army in the Red Sea," 1510-1520. Woodcut on paper. Art Institute of Chciago. www.artic.edu/artworks/181...
David Hockney, wearing the old Ralphs plainwrap shirt and cap and holding a box plain wrap film. #IYKYK Spotted in a show about Gemini G.E.L. at the Getty Research Institute last year.
I'm struck by the title of this remarkable photo by Marco Ugarte: "La bendición del guanaco" — in English, "The blessing of the guanaco." Chileans call water cannons guanacos after the camelid (which spits). The protestors were part of a non-violent movement against torture that is still active
I went to Dataland, the AI Art Museum, so you don't have to... email.kcrw.com/dataland-at-...
To Barnsdall Art Park: if you're gonna recommend to people that they take public transit to the park, then maybe keep the southern gate open, which is the closest access point from the metro stop? Also, fyi, Google is recommending that gate to pedestrians.
