If art is an act of relating to another individual across time and space, then [Leeson] undermines the whole affair on both sides, refusing to expose her true self. Review: @lynn_hershman at @AltmanSiegel by Max Blue variablewest.com/2022/06/07/rev…

Humanity’s every act impacts the natural environment—the plastic wrapper you throw away in the trash tomorrow doesn’t end its journey there, and Water Briefed knows it. Review: #EmilyKepulis at Lolo Pass by #JeffAlessandrelli variablewest.com/2022/05/31/rev…
If there is representation lacking, we must document it. If the world cannot imagine, we must step in and show the world that liberation requires both trouble and quietude. Review: Month of Sundays at #EugeneContemporaryArt by #ChelseaCouch l8r.it/YLs1
"Academically, as an Asian American, I’ve always been interested in how Asian Americans have been present historically but also constructed as the perpetual foreigner.”@durgaakv spoke w/ @astrobuddha about his first exhibition as curator of @LAMAGBarnsdall ow.ly/NR1v50Jej3v
"KB And this giant flag backdrop, was that really there? MT Oh, it was really there." @kathybattista @deboergallery
"That’s my favorite thing to hear from people, 'If I didn’t know this was a cotillion event, then I would’ve thought it was _____.' Some people think it’s just a made up image from a dream, which I love." —Marika Thunder @kathybattista @deboergallery
"Drag culture takes the beautiful components of showmanship and performance but recreates it and gives it a new meaning. Cotillion as an event was very showy but somehow still very repressed." @kathybattista interviews Marika Thunder at @deboergallery l8r.it/nYS0

Trees blown down by the Mt. St. Helens eruption in 1980 😦
Mt. St. Helens erupted #OnThisDay in 1980. The lateral blast decimated 210 square miles & killed 57 people, making it the deadliest eruption in U.S. history. Photographers like Marilyn Bridges depicted the savage beauty as in this aerial view of trees blown down by the shockwave.
Amazing news from @smallpresstraff and CLR!
"It was as if #EverythingEverywhere took all the things that make sci-fi films insufferable and racist for Asian people, and banished them to another universe." —@maymaylisaca
"It’s a fun free-association game, where props and set designers can go wild in a Chinatown market and buy whatever seems foreign and odd to imagine in a cinematic future. Ultimately, this oddness is often equated with 'Asianness.'" @maymaylisacat @AstriaSuparak
"Sci-fi has a reputation for being white filmmakers' chinoiserie activity." ESSAY | Asian Futures, With Asians: @AstriaSuparak & Everything Everywhere All at Once by @maymaylisacat @A24@Daniels#AsianFuturesWithoutAsians#EverythingEverywhere 🎥👉🏼 l8r.it/gVSn
