Brazil in Time

Wow, I can't believe it's been a whole year since my last post. I guess the search for art has not been very fruitful in my case. Which brings me to this: for someone who considers herself an artist and general creative creature, it's amazing how lacking I am in the culture department. Back in March, thanks to my good friend Hank, I made my way to the Armand Hammer Museum for the first time in Y-E-A-R-S. I still mean to go check out the Kara Walker show (please do check it out -- it looks A-mazing) but I did get to see a documentary called Brazil in Time. It is late in the day, it was awhile ago but it is worth mentioning. Unfortunately, it had a limited showing and there isn't much info out there. The film was about many things -- most obviously about DJs and percussionists coming together in Sao Paulo, Brazil -- but the thing that struck me was the way in which the creative process transcends age, generation, cultures and aesthetics/genre. I don't know of many other processes in our day and age that allows for such synergy. A bit more info here.

Oh, and something else worth mentioning: stay tuned for some p(r)etty photos from a project I'm attempting (please, USPS, be good to us) with fellow artist Brande Jackson.
