Ashes and Snow
January is a month for visitors. Our good man Jeffro and his magic bus graced us this week, causing at least one hangover in week 2 of work. Ah, well, best not to set unrealistic expectations for my performance here anyway.And to follow that, we have Alicat Magenta and Nastily Makesh-- uh, make that Smith--storming our little village by the sea this weekend. Our first order of business will be to jet over to the Nomadic Museum in Santa Monica Saturday to see Ashes and Snow, the Gregory Colbert exhibit. I spent some time in his website this morning going through his portfolio. Do yourself a favor- check it out. Trust me, it will change your outlook on the whole day- if not more.
Colbert says about his work:
In exploring the shared language and poetic sensibilities of all animals, I am working towards rediscovering the common ground that once existed when people lived in harmony with animals. The images depict a world that is without beginning or end, here or there, past or present.
Where better to experience a world without here or there, past or present than the Nomadic Museum- the construct of Japanese architect Shigeru Ban. The museum is made of 152 steel cargo containers that will be deconstructed and resurrected at other sites yet to be named in later years. It's here in Santa Monica until May 14, so book your accommodation at the Casa de Jess while there are still vacancies.

steel cargo containers!? did someone say steel cargo containers?! you do know that's the shit i deal with all day long over here at CAI, don't you... but it's not nearly as exciting or pretty or cool as a nomadic museum, unfortunately.
Does that mean you could get your company to sponsor an LA trip? I mean, it is kinda like research, right?
"Ashes and Snow," not to be confused by the BTx photo collage, "Asses and Blow."
