Greetings from LA!

I have been in Los Angeles with 74 other CCA affiliates the last few days. I have seen more art than my brain can probably handle, and I definitely forgot about the huge divide that exists within SoCal and NoCal culture. I am definitely not hip.

Places visited include the MOCA, the Gehry building, REDCAT, the Geffen, Ace Gallery (both locations), Foxx Gallery, the Gotham club, the Hammer Museum, Blum & Poe, The Project Room, Lizabeth Olivera, the Museum of Jurassic Technology and the Center for Land Use Interpretation. Shlepping on a bus for 2 days straight can certainly drain the life right out of you.

I split off from the group last night to see my friend Raffaella, who is now teaching at UCLA. She lives in a gorgeous little place in Santa Monica, and we had a wonderful time catching up -- sitting cuddled up on the couch drinking tea and chatting.

Today we are driving to newport Beach to see the California Biennial at the 'OC' Museum of Art. My friend Libby has work in the show, and I'm very excited about seeing the paper Gucci golf clubs.

So, greetings from the city of angels, and more on this trip later. I leave you with a work by Tara Donovan -- the new 'it girl' of sculpture (in my opinion).
