Activists Fight to Salvage the “Sistine Chapel of New Deal Art” President Trump's plans to sell a federal building housing works of art about Social Security is an attempt to erase the country’s history, a new petition argues.

A group of artists, preservationists, and activists hopes to prevent Trump from auctioning off a historic DC landmark that houses the Social Security Administration and a number of valuable artworks, including several New Deal-era murals.

His name is Santiago. This has always been my experience with Latino men. Kind, respectful, chivalrous. And yea, outside of random acts of kindness, often real fun.

Those of you looking for the worst in people are only finding the worst in you.

A Good Samaritan, a gentleman, helped shovel out my ca. I didn't ask for the help, but accepted his kind offer. I offered him money for a good coffee. He refused and said, I have a mother and sisters, of course I would help, I'm happy to. And he went on his way.

Does anyone have a magic number or email or solution for actual help @ups ?

They have lost my art,
closed investigations with no recourse, and every time I call I'm told something entirely different or inaccurate

Thank you all so much enjoying my painting. I love hearing the theories and thoughts around its significance in the show.

Add to it that I've lived in Newfoundland, New Paltz (where I went to the same university as John Turturro!), Nyack, the Catskills Mountains...I share a deep deep affinity with Severance!

Even before the show, I called this the "Severed Iceberg" series since I cut the iceberg off at the tip & left it floating in space: vulnerable & ever changing til their demise. I dissolved each layer of paint w/ water, melting the image, then bringing it back through subsequent passes.

Dr. Joel Fleischman 🐈‍⬛ demands Labor Day

Human Resources Gordon Hughes reviews Apple TV’s Severance, reading the show as an allegory of contemporary labor relations.

The closest I'll get to being in @artforum?
This article could have used more tip of the iceberg metaphor but it is a good read about Severance's concept and the ills of capitalism.
Spoiler: no iceberg nor office art nor aesthetics discussed. Also, major show spoilers.

Thank you so much!

The mark of the brush is the adjective in the visual poem of a 2-dimensional scene. Painting with oil on the slick Yupo paper, gives the memories of a distant land visited, a lyricism as the brush dances elegantly and freely across the surface.
