yamamanamaBraintree has been getting all the fanky "new" red line trains lately.
Kelly looked a bit like someone I know but only from certain angles. She and the tall woman with an infinity symbol pendant and a dragonfly pendant think I am a talented artist.
Before I arrived, two artists from Jakarta had a set of events inspired by Megacities Asia and by life in Jakarta, for Boston.
EmoTree: track your emotions over the course of the day with flowers.
Mile-Pole: plot how far you traveled to get to the MFA.
Eat the Wish: compare your birthday wishes and eat cake. Keytar Bear was there.
I saw the results of Fused Census, which was a plastic torso with all sorts of things attached to it, including a doll for an arm and some army men just like in Green Landscape and a very excited plush pug from the movie The Secret Life Of Pets on its shoulderblade.
Or, at least, that's what the descriptions say. I'm not exactly sure what's going on in those pictures.
What Boston's art scene needs is: socially engaged art.
The most urgent issue in Boston right now is: cost of living and lack of housing is a symptom of social justice inequality.
my favorite sculptural forum is: kinetic. maybe a sound sculpture. masks.
The are some doodles in a book asking questions about restoring paintings.
A dino is saying "Look, I'm important!" and a brillo pad is saying "I'm Brillo" and someone wrote "真棒" and "酷哥" maybe, I'm not actually sure what he actually did write and there's no way I'm going to mess around with the settings so I can type things in Chinese and even if I did, I'm not used to it and it would take hours, but he helpfully provided translations: awesome and cool guy. Someone drew a happy dog.
There was a woman with bright red hair and a woman with black and very pale green hair wearing a bright green sequined skirt. A woman's shirt said something like "shine like the stars, like the sun, like the moon" or "live by the sun, feel by the moon, move by the stars" or even "live by the sun, love by the moon, dance with the stars" I don't know; I saw it for but a brief glimpse and thought the quote would be easier to find.
"I'm attracted to anything shiny" she said about the bust in the center of the Regency room.
I guess they phased out the Gardner Museum style sheet in favor of MFA-style labeling for the Regency room.
I love the contrast between the red and the blue in that painting. It looks more blue in real life.
The commentary for build me a nest so I can rest.
Lindsey has a tattoo of a scorpion with some rather stumpy claws and an eyeball for a stinger wrapped around her wrist, some words, a flower on her thigh, a death's head moth that isn't actually a reference to Silence of the Lambs. Julie is a designer of some sorts, probably of the art kind and not the ruin a website kind.
Nearby was a woman with many elaborate tattoos but alas she found it too cold and put on a jacket.
A woman I tried to draw who moved around and repositioned herself minored in art and really likes printmaking. She has Take Me To The Stars tattooed on her wrist along with a equilateral triangle with a line through it that might be the alchemical symbol for air. She apologized for sitting down but it's ok because I like to depict people as they act normally and I'm glad I didn't wait because the train became very bouncy upon reaching the Neponset River. She was listening to a very catchy song about pandas. We talked about the scale of my art.
A guy who was asking me about Matt Mingell's music because I picked up a CD, looked at it, and put it back because I already have it said he's never heard a train make noises or rattle about like that. To me, it sounded like the train cars were about to decouple.
He just hoped they make it to the next station before anything bad happens. Bad things failed to happen.
A woman's ponytail went from blackness to blue, blue to violet.
burning question: whatever happened to blimps?
