back from LA!
Hey all! It's been a while... I just got back from a whirlwind trip to LA for two days and just one night (whew!). As part of a team-taught first-year Graduate Seminar class at the art school I teach at, we did an extended field trip to visit alternative artspaces in LA, as well as the larger institutions. Visited were: The Museum of Jurassic Technology ('natch), CLUI (Center for Land Use Interpretation), Machine Project in Echo Park, all the galleries in Chinatown, plus Ooga Booga, the Institute for Figuring, a panorama project, and then the next day was UCLA, the Hammer, Gagosian, ACE, and then the Prada store in Beverly Hills (ha!). More on all this later...ran into random friends on the street which is amazing since LA is so sprawling. Needless to say, I'm finding LA more and more interesting and a potential for moving to...
will post more soon. fun times!
oh, and if there isn't already too much to read in this world, I just made my thesis paper available as a PDF online. Now you can read more than you ever wanted to know about my artistic practice and how I see it relating to late-capitalism and the need for alternatives, plus a shifting and internationally hybrid Filipino identity. Yeah. Rock on.

thanks for the paper download.
will be responding to your email soon. I have been out of town too!
hope all is well!
exciting!
i just realized that you and my sister have a lot in common. her show for her MFA thesis was called-
Bite: Mimicry, Iterations, Copies, and Fakes – Louis Vuitton Handbags and Customized Cars
see any familiar themes? minus the car thing perhaps. she is also a part time professor.
for that show, one of the installations consisted of fake Louis Vuitton handbags lit with neon [underneath of course]. she also said "holy crap!" i think when i sent her the link to your crochet purse project.
Hey Stephanie,
I live in NYC and want to buy your clothes at Sodafine, but their website is down and you didn't list their complete number on your blog. The reason I ask is because Brooklyn streets cut around so weird, and I need to ask them what train stop is nearest them as well as the cross street/avenue. Help me out please: hysterectomy@gmail.com
hey there...curious to know what you think of those LA galleries in chinatown. isn't it weird that there is like no Asian art in any of them? like just another example of the mainstream artworld staking new territory with complete ignorance of the actual surroundings. I always find that interesting.
hope all is well!
