Levy Art + Architecture

In this prophetic refashioning, forests are aflame, tornadoes torque from one card into the next, a steamboat gets swallowed up whole by some sort of new megafauna, frogs fall like Biblical hail from the sky. The human responses form a cacophony of desires and demands, panic and denial. Biplanes trail banners urging Repent Now!, others insist Legislative Action Would Be Premature, while still others advertise seats on an actual Ark. Join us tomorrow 10/3 to see the work and talk with David .opdyke

As we plan our back to work protocols, it’s important to be realistic with what’s at stake. Pandemics have happened before, and may happen in the future. Consideration of human behavior and well being is an instrinsic part of design.

“In the hierarchy of major themes that shaped the modern spirit in architecture, hygiene, the imperative of a more salubrious habitat and city, is undeniably at the top of the list. With the book X-Ray Architecture (Zurich: Lars Müller Publishers, 2018), Beatriz Colomina, historian and theoretician of architecture and teacher at Princeton, chooses to make this a structuring principle, more to do with the fear of death and the repressed unconscious than the spirit of innovation. Is modern architecture as hysterical as that of the Baroque period?”

In Camps Even Atheists Pray
Lynn Breedlove
All That Is, please guide us out of this darkness. In this moment crying. In this moment sure. Laughing, fu***ng, eating, replicating plates served by mothers. Channeling Ta**us full moon and dead moms and live dads, grounded forward going, get outta jail free, avoid jail entirely, make it happen magic, and glamour money fashion shine charm build-it action. True love always.
Bring Mandelas, Mumias, Panthers and Kings, bring Peltiers and Black Elks and Lame Deers. Bring Maya Angelou all aglow and how she says bring your ancestors with you into the room, and what will be read is power. Charisma.
All the angels, all the stars, all the ghosts of Sophie Scholl, the White Rose, von Stauffenberg, Anne Frank, and Marlene. All the nameless who gave a crust of bread to someone who wasn’t gonna live anyway. All the retro planets saying save your energy till late in the game and then slingshot it through the eye of despots, blow everything sky high at once, take out killers with our high powered books and Subcultural Standards of Beauty good looks. And if you’re lucky just keep reloading, picking off evil. Keep them in your sights, crosshairs the only cross you pray to or bear.
Leave behind a trail of stars to X marks the spot, to treasure, to hearts, to explosions of light, to true love coming in your fist, to high as a kite in your arms, to crying over the loss of all humans, all the qu**rs and trans, women and children, beasts and sky and water, last but not least, all the blue sky from the west down to the east. Blue, just how we see it from here. Blow it all up, and it’s a dream remembered by sentries at castles who look out at black starry skies and tell stories of what we learned there, then, on a green and blue rock, far away and once upon a time.

From rebirth to fertility, the ultimate symbol of Easter and tradition, eggs have been decorated for centuries. Creativity in more ways than one, Covid has kept us at home so we let our imagination run like rabbits (!) Color, patina, texture, and a little chemistry experiment for that contemporary feel. Unique and natural forms with old fashioned fun -
