Can creativity change the world? 🌎
I believe so and Im sure the artist whose work is in this exhibition in nyc inside Moynihan hall in Penn Station would agree.
A while ago I lived inside this little farmhouse. Something about the pureness and Rural feel took me back there. A simpler time.
I think it is the hand. They are notoriously hard to draw or paint. It is so realistic that I didn’t notice it and instead the piece just vibes with me. Beautiful hand. Beautiful Art. Amazing details. Yea…if art can fill ones heart with peace ✌🏾 and help us to empathize ❤️ with one another, it can certainly change the world

Cute Couple, 2022
I'm interested in the way a physical piece of art functions in today's world as a simple but powerful communication tool.
Sometimes it's just a simple grounding- a hand holding oranges, and yet the world-wide reach still exists because when someone stands right here in front of this work, the viewer and the artist get to communicate. Right here. Right now.
Art behaves as a radical conduit and connector in this way.
This notebook has been taken apart and put back together with different materials- the paper replaced with canvas; the neat stitching replaced with bulky blue thread. It's an exploration or exercise on how sometimes the only way to shift our understanding or enact change, is to first deconstruct what is in front of us, so that it can be put back together in a new way.

@deciphertheriddler

dark academia but it's art school:
dried paint on an old wooden easel
rolling up the sleeves of a white button up so it won't get paint on it (it will)
piles of filled out moleskin sketchbooks
doing master studies of your favourite painters
sketching with a dip pen
having prints of works you adore
charcoal covered hands
sketches and references placed all around your workspace
being up all night to finish a piece
"are those stains on my hands paint or blood?"
annotating art books
drinking at exhibitions

Sebastião Salgado and the wild poetry of the Amazon
Sebastião Salgado was traveling alone. He had documented the great migratory movements of the planet throughout 35 countries, always in solitude. Three Leica R6s (the same ones with which he immortalized the attack on Ronald Reagan or the burning of oil wells in Kuwait), two ostrich skin bags, good walking shoes and a Moleskine notebook (where he took exquisite notes for his photo captions). In the fall of 1997, I accompanied him on his reporting work on irregular migration routes between Africa and the coast of Cádiz in southern Spain, which were later included in his 2000 book Exodus. For 10 days we lived at a frantic pace to document the daily traffic of small boats that each day caused dozens of deaths. Every night brought a hellish situation, with migrants fighting for life over death. We hardly slept. Salgado was coming out of a severe illness, and his skull looked polished like a billiard ball, but we still spent our nights on patrol aboard Customs Surveillance helicopters, while our days were spent on Spanish Civil Guard boats patrolling the Strait of Gibraltar. We talked to many migrants, and Salgado encouraged them to fight. It was 10 breathless days. Salgado’s work earned him the Prince of Asturias Award in 1998.
He is a very tough guy. Meticulous. Engaged. And that spirit is reflected in projects such as Amazônia: journeys through the Amazon jungle over several years to portray the ecological and human tragedy of the destruction of this critical green area of the world. It is an amazing window into an ancient and endangered world inhabited by 310,000 indigenous people from 169 ethnic groups who speak no fewer than 130 languages. “Through the power of images, we aspire to highlight the majesty of nature and the noble simplicity of the lifestyle of the indigenous population. We believe that humanity as a whole has the responsibility of caring for its common heritage,” explains the artist about this project, which now comes in the form of an exhibition in Madrid.
The exhibition Amazônia can be visited at Fernán Gómez Centro Cultural de la Villa, in Madrid, between September 13 and January 14, 2024.

The Moleskine Project: Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum.
Currently on view at Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum in Mesa, Arizona and curated by Harman Projects is the celebrated group exhibition, “The Moleskine Project.”
The Moleskine Project is a collective exhibition of customized sketchbooks by hundreds of emerging and established artists from across the globe, curated by Harman Projects. The exhibition spans various artistic styles and mediums, delving into how artists sketch and develop creative ideas. The exhibition, which made its initial debut at Spoke Art San Francisco in 2011, is a continuation of that project where artists are provided with a blank Moleskine book and invited to create an original work of art within its pages.

closed starter for @edenxoconnell
location: aurora bay museum of art
Cass wasn't a stranger to the art museum by any means, but it felt foreign to see so many people packed into the lobby. There was a slight bit of irritation that went with it, mainly because it was an absolute pain to weave through the messy mixture of college students, their families and whatever Aurora Bay randos-- residents had wandered in for the big exhibition. They smiled as they slipped passed a few familiar faces and reminded themself that it wasn't often a student's work was displayed. It was a big honor for them and for their peers and what not. Plus the subject matter-- it was weird. Really fucking weird. Juxtaposition of the beach and ocean and this...well Cass could only describe it as nightmare fuel. They gathered it was supposed to be edgy. But Cass had gotten a bit of a sneak peek at some of the pieces in their various classes and...yeah, they were super curious to how the general public would take it all in.
They had their moleskin out, snagging the pen from behind their ear as they neared the wide doorway leading into the exhibit and nearly dropped it as their eyes zeroed in on a familiar silhouette already lingering in the arch. "Um, excuse me--" they said after clearing their throat obnoxiously enough to cut through the sound of chatter around them, "I think you're in the wrong place. art's my whole schtick, remember?"

🫀 📖 🌊
🫀 - does your muse make decisions with their head or their heart? perhaps a bit of both?
Audra has convinced herself that these are one and the same. They are indistinguishable. It's her head, to be truthful, but everything logical is also exactly what her heart tells her to do.
📖 - does your muse keep a diary or journal? what do they, or would they, write in a journal?
She keeps several. There are two she has on her and all times, and two kept in her office. All four are pocket-sized moleskines. One, a little black one she purely writes observations in. Changes in the city, changes in bars she frequents. New people to meet, new things to look up. Audra has never met a question she didn't care about the answer of, and she wants to write all these questions down to keep track. Next, red, to keep track of MET-related issues. Research, exhibits, particularly interesting art. At home, they are blue and green. Blue is Syndicate work. Green is an actual attempt to put her feelings into words. It dates back to when she was first released from the power plant. It is the most intimate part of her house.
🌊 - does your muse have any specific fears? is there a reason why they fear these things?
Sam. Something going wrong that's out of her control. A wrong she can't think how to right. Or ever losing Lee.

what do you think are the muses that show up most often in steve's sketchbook?
what a fun question, ev! thank you for asking. 😈✨
here's what i think:
nyc. he's a brooklyn lad, alright. in pen and marker. on a moleskin he carries around that has cracks in its spine.
people on transit/out and about in the city. HONY but like hands of new york. jackets. forgotten socks by the condo constructions. the piers at golden hour. central park as a möbius strip. the dude in a duck costume on the B. yunno. in pencil, gouache, cheap monochromatic oils. on cheap newsprint. A3 paper, canvases (oft hung in museums, preserved when steve's other art wasn't. he has conflicting feelings about it after coming out of the ice, but still draws them.)
old architecture. chalk. ballpoint. moleskins. coasters.
politics/current events. he's a bitchy, political cartoonist of an american icon, alright. in marker and digital. on his anonymous mildly popular instagram and the occasional publication.
new foods/inventions. kinda blurry photographs paperclips to moleskins. in pencil and soft pastel.
his own teammates. he's with them almost every day. he has an almost eidetic memory. he definitely draws scenes from the mansion/tower/quinjet/battles, moments in the aftermaths where they're digging through rubble with their bare bloodied hands, where they're hugging each other just to feel something alive, where they're laughing holding a drink. in pencil. on napkins, canvases, as gifts, rarely in museums but often in places of honor (in tony's homes, in his teams'.)
pursuant to that: his own nightmares. war. viscera. the good things in the past; a cooking pot his grandma passed down filled with empty shotgun shells. a finger on a grenade, not attached to a hand. in ink, digital, magazine cut outs, media far removed from the inspiration. most often controversially placed in museums and war retrospectives, saved by some of his wwii unit.
fantasy and sci fi media. yes, he's a fanart lad. tolkien and ursula k le guin and hajime yatate and neon yang, etc. pen, gouache, digital. posted on his official social media accounts bc he's shameless. sometimes asked to do covers for up and coming writers. sometimes agrees.
in a similar vein, comics! comics inspired by comics :))
hands in general. he(thinks he)'s a simple man. sketches, rarely soft pastels. on small notebooks, official documents.
his lovers. in repose, in sheets, generally faceless. more about the planes of their bodies, the way they fill the space. in messy sketches and gouache or acrylic. often destroyed. (steve does not have complicated feelings about this. he does have a lot of feelings about this.)
queer artists/art. half dressed men. pride parades. (steve does have complicated feelings about this. he does have a lot of feelings about this.) pastel, chalk, chalk pastels. on vellum, small digital prints. occasionally temporarily in galleries and exhibitions on a complicated basis. steve likes to keep them.
statues. in black or red pen/ink/chalk. on tiny canvases or moleskin.
the iron man armor <33333 in acrylic, red or blue ballpoint. on napkins and moleskin.
i'll stop here bc this is long but please allow me to emphasize that steve is an artist and us artists always see the world with a little bit of romance: every moment could contain a muse, and every muse could contain a million moments, etc.
i think his hands itch for his shield just as much as they itch for his sketchbook.

Can creativity change the world?
This was the title that caught my eye as I was zipping through Moynihan Hall in Penn Station Which is in Manhattan NYC. The artworks in the glass case which encompassed the exhibit stopped me in my tracks.
When I discovered that the exhibit was based on art that was created in moleskin Journals I could not resist. I had to take in this moment and document it so I could share it with you. These are some of my favorite pieces from this dope ass exhibit.

my energy-revisiting my first post
i feel like a mess, i dont know myself anymore
when i wrote about "my energy" everything flowed so naturally, now i'm just stuck
but i'll force myself to write about all the things that make me, me, just so i can find myself in between all this mess my mind has been through lately. here i go, i present to you, again, my energy (revisited and modified)
a little cup of coffee with oat milk from the coffee shop i now work at, orange juice on free days and matcha latte at home before class. early mornings reading books and feeling the cold wind, listening to the birds chirping as my reading soundtrack and seeing the sun arise through the window. late night readings before sleeping, when everything is quiet and i feel like the only person alive. struggling to see the words cause there's almost no light or cause i'm too sleepy. mixing silver and gold jewelry. baggy low waist dark trousers with any type of basic top that fits me right (maybe a little longer on my sleeves) and comfortable flat shoes as my go to outfit. i dont care anymore. i dont wear platforms to appear taller and slimmer, i seek comfort. keeping my hair long and messy. no make up make up look (now for real), wearing lipstick instead of eyeliner. wearing you by glossier or another 13 by le labo instead of santal 33. i still love french cinema and dream everyday of being percieved by others as the protagonist of any rohmer's movie. i dont own a moleskin anymore but i write in every piece of paper i can find, preferably in black ink. i still feel the need to document everything i go through. i still keep a diary, i still film my days. jonas mekas films always in mind, annie ernaux books all highlighted and noted. vintage leather bags with lip balm, lip liner, a sweet treat and my current read. reading almost exclusively books written by woman,, they just get me. making playlist for every emotion i feel, one for anger, one for tranquility and one (the most special) for the best feeling in the world: leaving the cinema, after you've sat for a few hours in a room full of strangers, all there to do the same thing as you, and you've lived another life for those few hours. for when you open the exit door and take the first breath of fresh air and feel renewed, like a new person. everything you do becomes cinematic, your life feels like a movie, and of course you need a playlist by your side.
im still daydreaming all the time. still missing a boy, still thinking about the way he used to call me or how every part of his body used to feel. still wondering what would've happened, how things would've been. still biting my lips and eating cookies every time im anxious.
still wearing my silk dresses and my grandma's nightgowns to sleep in the summer and matching blue pijamas when it's cold. i own a new phone now, but i still have a clear phone case with movie tickets (still collect them). going to the cinema at least twice a month, now that i can afford it. visiting art exhibitions alone with my wired headphones and lots of curiosity. now i seek the sun and long for the summer time, even though i'm still a cold weather enjoyer at heart. still a paris lover and romanticist-more than ever since i lived my before sunrise fantasy when i spent a whole day in the city of love with the boy from another country i'd met fifteen days before. i cried admiring the sunset in montmartre (like delphine on le rayon vert) and kissed him under the stars to mr brightside by the killers haha.
i still think of him, of all the people i've met throughout my life, of all the people who have seen me grow and evolve. i'm forever changing and learning, and after almost three years of my first post i still preserve most of "my energy", and i can say that that version of myself is still here. a lot of things are still the same.
sometimes the girl i used to be visits me and greets me from a far. i look at myself and see all the other versions i've ever been, and i wave them back with a smile. but also with a sense of grief because i know i can never go back, i will never be six or eighteen again.
even though im never satisfied with my present self i try to focus on what i do like about who i am. i focus on what i love and work towards it. this is a little piece i wrote to reflect on how i've changed while feeling lost and melancholic in my daily life. the result of it feels bittersweet, but i feel much lighter. i encourage you to try it.
if you've read all of this, just know you have a very special place in my little heart.

You've Been My Muse for a Long Time
You've Been My Muse for a Long Time
https://ift.tt/CuiEVA9
by affectionatelyrs
There aren’t many instances in which Henry would claim he exhibits a colorful vocabulary. In fact, he could likely list them on one hand: when wretched people say the most bigoted things, when the local grocer has run out of their Jaffa Cake stock in the minuscule international aisle, when he gets bored and resorts to writing homoerotic poetry in his moleskin journal with a fountain pen like some lovelorn literary scholar from the eighteenth century.
And now, when he’s assigned to a gig he doesn’t want to be at. As in, he would rather publish said poetry to the unrelenting, merciless masses of the internet than be at this gig.
“You must be bloody fucking kidding me.”
-
Or, When Rolling Stone names Alex Claremont-Diaz as the number one rising star to look out for, Henry is tasked with the sole responsibility of photographing him for their cover shot. Which, truly, wouldn’t be an issue—it’s an incredible opportunity—except Henry doesn’t trust that miscreant to be within ten feet of him ever since The Incident™

Gallery visit: AGNSW Kandinsky and Elemental exhibitions (22.11.23)
Kandinsky
Context: This exhibition is a showcase of Kandinsky's artworks as well as his life, artistic influences and legacy. Within it is a commissioned body of work by contemporary artist Desmond Lazaro.
More info can be accessed via the link below:
My Reflection: As someone who loves exploring the boundaries between art and science through more personal contexts, I thoroughly enjoyed both Kandinsky's artworks and Lazaro's body of work. Kandinsky merges the themes of spiritualism, transformation, and the unconscious with various areas of biology:
Histology (tissues) and cytology (cells)
Botany
Zoology
Embryology
Lazaro's work focuses on physics (colour, light, geometry, and astronomy), and alchemy.
In Kandinsky's earlier works such as Blue mountain/Der blaue Berg (1908-1909), an element of texture was observed.
(More personal reflection: The area, "Final Years", was an emotional experience, both in regards to the legacy he left and his death a year before WWII ended. The latter was because part of me wondered what would've happened if he had lived after WWII ended, and to have seen some of the impact his work had.)
Contemporary artist commission: Desmond Lazaro's Point and Line to Plane (inspired by Kandinsky's works)
Artist's sketchbooks (2020-2022, pigment paint, ink and graphite on Moleskine notebooks (hemp manuscript paper))
Cosmos Ill, Angelo Secchi's drawing (2019-2020, pigment paint on handmade paper - left) and Starlight I (2019-2020, pigment paint on handmade paper - right)
Velocity, it's all relative (2023, pigment paint and gold paint on cotton cloth and birch board)
The Venus Pocket Watch (2021-2022, pocket watch with pigment paint - left) and The Venus Pentagram (2020-2021, pigment paint and raised gold gild on cotton cloth and birch board - right)
Precession scroll: point and line to plane (2023, pigment paint, graphite, gold gild on handmade cotton-backed Wasli paper)
Kandinsky's works
Capricious forms/Formes capricieuses (1937, oil on canvas)
Various actions (1941, oil and enamel on canvas)
Circles on black (1921, oil on canvas)
Composition 8/Komposition 8 (1923, oil on canvas)
Graceful ascent/Montée gracieuse (1934, oil on canvas)
Blue mountain/Der blaue Berg (1908-1909, oil on canvas)
Around the circle (1940, oil and enamel on canvas)
Dominant curve (1936, oil on canvas)
Painting with white border/Bild mit weißem Rand (1913, oil on canvas)
