I had lunch with inspirational, super-friendly, culture journalist Daniel Rolnik. We scarfed down Swingers-burgers between mouthfuls of art and rock talk. This photo is an accurate representation of how charming and fun he is. I hope you are lucky enough to hear, "Hi, I'm Daniel" someday too!
Hey there everybody! I wanted to say hola to all my new Girl Crush readers. And thanks again to Wendy Withers for the super fun interview! I puffy heart sticker all of you, welcome again!
Barry McGee
May 11, 2012 — Jun 30, 2012
PRISM is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Barry McGee. In his second exhibition at the gallery, McGee integrates his visual language, with its striking geometric compositions, color fields and recurring characters into a site-responsive installation that converts the gallery into a dynamic and vibrant space. Viewers are immersed in purposeful chaos reflected in McGee’s drawings, paintings, prints, sculptures and photographs.

Ian's "The Unfinished Swan", a first-person painting game is finished and coming to PSN. More on the visually stunning game about exploration and wonder:
The Unfinished Swan is a game about exploring the unknown.
The player is a young boy chasing after a swan who has wandered off into a surreal, unfinished kingdom. The game begins in a completely white space where players can throw paint to splatter their surroundings and reveal the world around them.
It's being developed exclusively for the PlayStation 3 and will be available for download sometime in 2012. You can follow the game's development on our blog.

Thursday, May 3, 7pm
MOCA Grand Avenue
For the second Engagement Party Art Talk, MOCA has invited The Public School to present two discussions about isolation, monitoring and habitability against a backdrop of dissolving social institutions, familial structures, employment, and more. James Merle Thomas will present Tektite Revisited—his research into NASA's short-lived program—covering aquanauts, anechoic chambers, and the problems of modern living. Benjamin Bratton will speak about the “cloud” and planetary scale computation, with its effects on territory, law, and place. A discussion moderated by Sean Dockray will follow.
James Merle Thomas is a current Guggenheim Fellow at the National Air and Space Museum and Benjamin Bratton is the Director of UC San Diego's Center for Design and Geopolitics; both have been instructors for The Public School. Sean Dockray is the co-founder of The Pubilc School, Los Angeles.
