Miscellaneous Art

It was just announced that Bravo’s Work of Art will have a second season. I’m looking forward to it and hope that some of what I perceived as flaws in the first season will have vanished.

Meanwhile, portions of final collections (including mine) are appearing on the Work of Art blog that Lindsey created and I participated in. The completed collections are due in a couple of weeks, but I know mine won’t be ready by then, because it’s part of another semi-secret project I’m working on that won’t be finished for probably a month beyond that. When it’s done, I plan to try to find a gallery that will show it. Of course I’ll talk about all that here when it’s more appropriate.

One of Work of Art’s producers is Sarah Jessica Parker’s company Pretty Matches. Sort of on that topic, I recently started watching DVDs of Sex and the City from the first season. I noticed a coffee table book on my favorite artist in SJP’s character Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment:

Over the Labor Day weekend, I also watched a favorite old movie, Trading Places with Dan Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy, and Jamie Lee Curtis. Curtis plays Ophelia, and when we go inside her apartment, I spotted a Rothko poster hanging on the wall. I like watching movies and shows on my computer because I see little things I never noticed before.
