still processing what i experienced today. blown away and stunned by the new lacma geffen galleries. the proportions, light, contrast, negative space, navigation, everything feels unique, radical, sophisticated and very west coast. go. get lost. get inspired. drift. a space for escape and introspection. grateful to have played a small role in the museum. having worked on dozens of art catalogs. and most recently the new guidebook, fittingly called WANDER. đź“· @davidkarwan
a belated birthday to my beautiful mama! inside and out. mom at 18 and again at 21 (with me). your unwavering love, passion, positivity and warm & welcoming style are characteristics we should all strive to have. and for you it’s always been natural. a real gift! i’ve been close to home for 52 years and feel lucky for every second. love you
your dad taught me how to see the artistic world. now you and i get to experience that world together. sat morning art cruise with @lucien.phoenix . LA born, raised and still discovering.
this album. this band. this show. thank you @thejasonbentley for opening my sonic mind to a world that has sculpted much of my life, and now my sons. and thanks to michael and clive at phd for playing kcrw 24/7. proud to say so much of who i am all started in my hometown of santa monica.
2012 cortina tre cime full throttle ascent with andy hampsten, the only american to win the giro on a snowy ascent in 1988. i was in great shape at 39 years old and andy rode off the front with me, recalling historic ascents up this beast of a climb as we hammered to the top of the dead end road, that ends at this picturesque setting.
2016 i had a good few months on a borrowed tt bike. my first time on the machine and it felt right at home. after a bit of terrorizing on the now ride, i had a good day at the california state championships. my first time training and racing with a power meter, i put in a solid 48 minutes at 395 watts. sport continues to make me grateful for the years and decades of hard work and memories!
our kitchen wall is now more inspiring than ever with these works by barbara probst and amir zaki. the aesthetics of art is the obvious part. the stories and memories are what really makes you connected. that is a shared commitment between the artist and the viewer. “a work of art isn’t finished until the viewer interacts with it” —Marcel Duchamp
