The Stargate [Table I] by Blood incantation is worthy of a Grammy! They have dialed in their performance of this song from when I saw it debuted. It shreds so hard.

Loosing my mind over this book on perceiving art.

Learning to detect, reach, and think about the energies exchanged in our perceptive encounters with art while remaining conscientious of the practice of meaning-making is important. Meaning-making in the gallery is akin to ocean currents-the continuous and directed movement of sea water influenced by various forces.
Similarly, meaning-making is continuous and impacted by different environmental and cultural influences.
As people arrive at or are coerced toward particular meanings, they still share the gallery space-a container and an ocean. The meaning that one arrives at there can be in conversation or tension with the meaning currents of other visitors and the artwork itself. An awareness of these dynamics may enable us to think beyond concrete frameworks of interpretation and open up possibilities where knowledge can be collectively ascertained.
As a counterpoint to curatorial theory that is focused on the figure of the curator and the placement of objects, a theory of spectatorship that rethinks how audiences arrive at meaning in the art encounter considers the
many cross-
mural connections within exhibition
setting more broadly.
criment with and defy the ways
- derive meaning from artworks?
What if we perceive art while intentionally rooting our understanding of artworks in our memories, cultural knowledge, and geo-political location as viewers

Forced arbitration lets the powerful abuse people with impunity. As I told @levernews.com in this podcast interview, it’s a get-out-of-jail-free card. But it doesn't bind AGs. As AG, I’d go after corporate misconduct hidden behind arbitration.

A squirrel is standing inside and peeking over the top rim of a hollowed out pumpkin. The top of the pumpkin can be seen behind. The squirrel is wearing a slouchy black witch hat with orange stripes and holding a squirrel-sized chef knife. The knife is because the squirrel has carved the words ‘MAYBE IT WILL HAPPEN’ in the side of the pumpkin and in the ground in front the word ‘TODAY’ has been spelled with stringy orange pumpkin guts with seeds scattered all around.
