Here it is – title : Queen Alter

” Why are we more interested in the art of the deal than the art itself ? ”

” by this point, the art pages read like a softened version of the business pages ”

Nicolas Bourriaud : ” High culture relies on an ideology of framing and the pedestal.” On that note, how we will be judge by future generation, when paintings made of dung and soiled beds are heralded as best art of our times?

Alter-realism — dispense with the sci- and bioart gallery and make scientific reality our experimentation lab

Interesting website. I sent them an e-mail and would like to find out more how they came up with the term? It does fall under our definition of alterealism!

photography

Images of my paintings were too small for my book…. had a session with a photographer who took slides and had them scanned; they turned up too small. Expensive lesson.

I met with Sue Rosner, a great wild life photographer, today. She photographed the paintings, and told me a bit about equipment and the process. We will meet again and work in Lightroom program. Check check her website ! www.susanrosner.com

We also went to the store and looked at some cameras …. Nikon or Canon. It is my birthday wish!
