Something I would prefer if it was an AI fake...but its real..well as far as reality goes these days

In Greece, today the country is at a standstill with strikes to demand justice and for a tragedy that happened 2 years ago. There were 57 young people mostly university students returning to their classes who died in a horrible train crash. The railroads have been privatized- no one is accountable!😱

When all else fails..there's Art. "Living Lantern"by Neon Studio UK in Boston Downtown for winter..warmth and some glow to the lackluster of shuttered storefronts and empty office buildings still lingering post covid19.

What type of art/narrative will artists make this year? Who knows? Curator Carrie Scott's rant is great in saying Artists don't need current political chaos or hellish wars or devastating fires or other human catastrophies to be inspired-hey will surprise by seeing the world differently..please

Our mother is dealing with the worst possible health diagnosis so sharing some of her happiest moments means a lot. She became friends with the Carters while campaigning for his presidency in Atlanta and made it to the Inaugural Ball. This brings back so many wonderful memories.

Definitely dread..and dreading..

Childhood memory of my mother working on President Carters campaign in Atlanta and then going to the inaugural ball - mom next to the First Lady Roselynn Carter, Jan 20th 1977...[Remembering President Jimmy Carter, as my parents would say "too decent to be a politician"] #RIPpresidentcarter

That's pure ignorance...and that's the type of people now in power? ...how far we have fallen 😱 ps the d**k 's holding a Bible no less...perfect MAGA example...

Still in Athens for another week and the heart of the city next to the University [Polytechnio] is fascinating. What may look like urban decay or neighborhood neglect..is not..Its what is still left of old Athens before foreign capital washes it all away...and the locals like it and create around it

what can the world expect in 2025? a bumpy geopolitical ride without a referee catch my thoughts on what lies ahead for linkedin’s #bigideas2025 www.linkedin.com/pulse/25-big...

Parthenon marbles [aka Elgin] may be going home? The argument that looted art going back to countries of origin is problematic for many museums..but these are not just art or artifacts - these are part of only 1 structure - a little known architectural marvel called the Parthenon. It's time, right?

Jasleen Kauh just won the prestigious Turner Prize! When asked what does her work mean by journalist- she said if I was a poet I would use words, but I use objects to communicate...such a perfect answer....bravo!

It's terrible politics and precedent but I'm going to be honest and say that the Trump team has been brutally clear they want revenge on their enemies, they are obsessed with Hunter in particular, and that would weigh like hell on me if I were his father and could protect him.

a new front in the middle east war has just opened up in syria let’s unpack what’s going on @gzeromedia.bsky.social

Artists and art are meant to respond..in some sort of communicative way to our human condition in their time...Until we start sensing new work for this period..here's an oldie but goodie.. Louise Bourgeois "Blind Leading the Blind" 1947-49 Wooden planks attached to flat beam..

"From extreme fear comes our power"/strength..to move forward..in this case together for all who want our country to find a more equitable path, not a theocratic authoritarian future.. [Quote paraphrasing Sean D. Kelly,author of "All Things Shining" ]
