dayoutlast is a record of my direct engagement with mostly contemporary art, mostly Los Angelean.

As this blog has evolved since its 2010 inception, so has my perspective. What I once perceived as central within the investigation was what was central, literally, within the photographic frame that I shared here. While still an important consideration, such thinking has also given way to more peripheral considerations, ones also accompanied occasionally by text (written manifestation of thought) and the oscillations between them. What's missing here are larger unknowns surrounding issues of presentation and representation; the amount of time and space it actually takes to accomplish such first-hand observations; and the quandaries between documentation and interpretation.

Despite my attempt to communicate here with image and text what is essential in some respect about the artwork, neither representation should ever be considered a substitution for the primary viewing experience. Of course, occasionally there are exceptions.

Most of the time, these posts are merely remnants---residual fragments---from my last day out.

Faith Ringgold "A Survey" @ Jeffrey Deitch

It was so many years ago in undergrad at the University of Wisconsin-Madison that I learned of Faith Ringgold and her work. I was studying Art History and easily drawn to her work for it's eclectic, quilted, layered, multicolor, multivalent voices. Having seen a few here and there over the years, it wasn't until this show that I was able to see what seems an ample cross-section. Here is a sampling of the ones I liked best.
