“Stonehenge (With Two Persons) Orange is an example of Baldessari’s technique of obscuring portions of photographic images with brightly colored dots. The use of singular, saturated color and their placement speak to Baldessari’s wit and ability to simultaneously mimic and criticize artistic practice.”
O.K. then.
This concludes Your Baldessari of the Day.

He’s an American conceptual artist famous for his influential collage-like prints. A dominating figure, you could say.
Let’s pass by fellow art lovers Seán Martinfield and John Buchanan…
…to get to the gallery. (You can read Seán’s take here, at the SFSentinel.)
What’s up with “Throwing Three Balls in the Air to Get a Straight Line (Best of 36 Attempts)”? Why exactly 36 attempts?
He had 36 shots in his roll of film, and he shows you his best dozen. Why not?
More photos of last month’s opening to come….
You’ll have until late Autumn to drop by and see the exhibition.
See you there!
San Francisco 49ers Cancel Annual Lunch, But Family Day Goes Forward
Thursday, June 5th, 2008Here’s what the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce had to say when they found out the annual luncheon with the Niners ain’t gonna happen this year:
“Our main reaction is disappointment,” said Carol Piasente, the chamber’s vice president of communications and events.
(At least they’re taking it better than Otto West would.) Maybe last year’s chant led by Senator Dianne Feinstein played a factor in the cancellation?
Irregardless, KNBR 49er Family Day is ON this Saturday, June 7th.
