Tyler Green's Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Lari Pittman
Wonderful podcast by Tyler Green featuring artist Lari Pittman.
The Hammer Museum at UCLA is featuring the exhibition “Lari Pittman: Declaration of Independence,” a retrospective of Pittman’s nearly forty-year career.
Tyler writes:
The exhibition reveals Pittman’s engagements with America’s history and with issues and subjects that have been core to our history and identity, including landscape, violence, citizenship, belonging and more. The exhibition was curated by Hammer chief curator Connie Butler. It is on view through January 5, 2020. The excellent exhibition catalogue was published by DelMonico Prestel. Amazon offers it for $51.

Rest In Power Elijah Cummings
WATCH: Elijah Cummings in June:— MSNBC (@MSNBC) October 17, 2019
"200 to 300 years from now, people will look back on this moment and they will ask the question, what did you do? ... I may be dancing with the angels when all of this is corrected, but I've got to tell you, we must fight for our democracy." pic.twitter.com/6Mk1OWnbni
Please read Barack Obama's thoughts on the passing of Elijah Cummings:
This speech gave me goosebumps. The last words from Elijah Cummings' 92-year-old mother were, “Do not let them take the vote away from us.”— Mother Jones (@MotherJones) October 17, 2019
“There are efforts to stop people from voting. That's not right! This is not Russia. This is the United States of America!” #RIPElijah pic.twitter.com/CBrAVLzt4j

Pronouns are important to everyone, not just LGBTQ people.
If you were a cisgender male (assigned male at birth and identifying as male) but referred to as she/her, you'd be uncomfortable, right?
Now, turn that into empathy for us.#PronounsDay

Purposefully misgendering trans people:
❌ Extremely not nice
❌ Rude rude rude
❌ Something Voldemort would do
Respecting trans people:
✔️ 100% free
✔️ Is the right thing to do

Bruce Springsteen - Sundown (Film Version)
On my recent road trip across the American West, I often listened to Springsteen's haunting Americana soaked "Western Stars". 2500 miles from where I want to be indeed. Enjoy.

Ghost Rider
Memory coats the American West like photographic silver. It only takes a bit of light to bring out the past hiding in the shadows. Driving across the vast landscape, I am conscious of the countless Native American souls that inhabit the land. Many are living and many have passed on.
There is a presence in the red dust and auburn rocks that speaks beyond time. I am humbled. My painting "Ghost Rider" is inspired by these shadows of memory. In my work a modern, hat wearing person seems to nod to the ghostly apparition of a Native American rider in the middle ground. I can hear Robbie Robertson's plaintive voice in the distance:
Crow has brought the message
to the children of the sun
for the return of the buffalo
and for a better day to come
You can kill my body
You can damn my soul
for not believing in your god
and some world down below
You don't stand a chance
against my prayers
You don't stand a chance
against my love
They outlawed the Ghost Dance
but we shall live again,
we shall live again
My sister above
She has red paint
She died at Wounded Knee
like a later day saint
You got the big drum in the distance
blackbird in the sky
That's the sound that you hear
when the buffalo cry
You don't stand a chance
against my prayers
You don't stand a chance
against my love
They outlawed the Ghost Dance
but we shall live again,
we shall live again
Crazy Horse was a mystic
He knew the secret of the trance
And Sitting Bull the great apostle
of the Ghost Dance
Come on Comanche
Come on Blackfoot
Come on Shoshone
Come on Cheyenne
We shall live again
Come on Arapaho
Come on Cherokee
Come on Paiute
Come on Sioux
We shall live again

About Gregg Chadwick's L.A. Inspired Art
“Tonight the riders on Sunset are smothered in the Santa Ana winds
And the western stars are shining bright again”
- Bruce Springsteen, Western Stars
My new paintings in Surf & Turf at Castelli Art Space are crafted as magic lenses that combine the past, present, and future of Los Angeles. The clear daylight of Los Angeles brought the movie studios out west. And the neon soaked nocturnal light lured writers into the shadows of L.A. As a 17 year old art student at UCLA, I embraced the flickering cinematic light of Hollywood and the poetic light of night and day in the City of Angels. I am continuously inspired by the diversity, history, and beauty of greater Los Angeles.
