this ain't no semantics.



Movin’ on up from pixilated flowers and over-worked acrylics (offense intended).

Publication found on top of the trash can @ SYRA-JUICE, the best local campus eatery. Features a dank chicken burrito and chicken Caesar wrap… serves chips and salsa with everything. Anyway, these people know what’s up.

[Jerk Magazine is the premier student-run monthly publication at Syracuse University. The first of its kind, Jerk has set an unparalleled standard for campus magazines. In our efforts to “jerk” people out of their apathy, we have created a distinctive voice that is passionate and uncompromising, coupled with the visually arresting work of student artists.]

Mr. bolton‘s article “I’m not gay” (hit home) and ms. Holloway’s article “Cover that up” (on women in politics) are must-reads. All are online.

See their blog here.

[Warning: would like to point out that they posted lady gaga’s bad romance as well, but with a judgemental review and only two lame comments, one of which claiming her “attempt to be weird is really not unique”. Wtf. Has anyone forgetten the bitch can sing?]

The publcation is divided into the sections:

Bitch(opinions)

Gawk(style and design)

Smut (features)

Noise (art and music)

great opening night! nibbles, booze, music, good vibes. it's such a foreign feeling to have people (strangers) observing your work... which is hanging on a wall... lit. surreal. a highlight was an old catalan man literally with his nose on the piece.

the piece documented 10 days of movement throughout the city. subtractive method on matboard+iodine+acrylic. basically one big experiment. detailed fotos to come! 

closing night party with performance pieces this saturday. 

qué ilusión!

On being a woman, being an artist

This is a conversation between two women writers. To me, it is provocative, it's honest, it's raw, and the issues of womanhood tied to gender, tied to motherhood, tied to art, are real. Even if you aren't a woman you'll want to read this piece and if you are a woman you must. Enjoy!
