AMAZING
On Friday I had the pleasure of attending the opening of the Kilusan Exchange show. I'm so proud to say that the artists are all good friends of mine and that this show was above and beyond all of my expectations considering the issues plaguing the exchange from the very beginning. The show was the culmination of a month long trip to Manila where the artists lived and worked together in an attempt to contextualize themselves within the social and cultural landscape of their motherland. Each and every artist came correct on every level. The impact of this visit on their work and on them as people was so evident . They all exhibited so much strength and maturity as artists, displaying deeply personal and versatile pieces that were executed with the utmost artistic and aesthetic sensibility. You guys are amazing and incredibly talented and I'm so proud of all of you.
Pictures to come soon.

NEON LOVERS GLOW IN THE DARK
Lili Lakich is an amazing neon artist that I discovered haphazardly. Her book title was all like "Anda, call me sometimes cause I'm AWESOME" and I was like "Yeah you are!". NEON LOVERS GLOW IN THE DARK found its way into my hands solely because I was hoping it was a cross between Neuromancer and Anais Nin erotica. To my surprise the book was actually a volume of her work (boo, no erotica for me) and she is in my opinion an artist with sizeable contributions to the 80's art scene. She is randomly mentioned, perhaps a victim of her time and the aesthetic that it bred but I like to bring her into peoples lives from time to time. Her work really speaks to the 80's so it can sometimes seem dated but most pieces are timeless and exhibit a huge amount of strength and feminine sensibility. The piece above is my favourite and would love to have it in my living room one day. I want to nap underneath the neon hum and dream all neon and whatnot.

Maps for Girls

I really like the idea of cartography based on emotion and its relation to gender. Cartography is all about maps and shit.You can find more maps on the site as a part of an ongoing project entitled Maps for Girls.
