The Price of Fame
From CNN.com (go to CNN for in-depth coverage of the Death of an Icon)
By Doug Gross
CNN
(CNN) -- The celebrity flameout is a Hollywood cliché -- a mantel worn tragically by the likes of Lenny Bruce and John Belushi and handed down through the years to tabloid-populating stars such as Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears.
But Michael Jackson, dead at 50 after a life marked by unrivaled heights of pop brilliance and bizarre behavior that threatened to overshadow it, stood at the pinnacle of celebrity and embodied all the turmoil it can entail.
It's a perch experts say played a major role in his troubles in life and, perhaps, his untimely death.
"He sums up every aspect of it, having the ultimate fame, the ultimate power, the ultimate influence," said Patrick Wanis, a therapist and counselor who counts celebrities among his clients. "He also sums it up in every extreme aspect of the word."
Jackson, who died Thursday in Los Angeles, California, spoke repeatedly about the toll that a life spent in the public eye took on him emotionally, particularly as a child star singing with his brothers in the group Jackson 5. Compare Jackson's career to other major singers' »
"The public at large has yet to really understand the pressures of childhood celebrity, which, while exciting, always exacts a very heavy price," Jackson wrote in 2000 in a column for the religious Web site beliefnet. "More than anything, I wished to be a normal little boy. I wanted to build tree houses and go to roller-skating parties. But very early on, this became impossible."
Wanis said Jackson's experience is rare in its longevity. While a child star may shine brightly then disappear, or an actor or rock star may feel the first glare of the spotlight as a teenager or young adult, Jackson lived both experiences.
His first public performance, at Mr. Lucky's nightclub in Gary, Indiana, came at age 6; at 50 he was rehearsing for a comeback tour.
"The average life of a band or performer is five years. There's only a handful that break that rule," Wanis said. "Michael Jackson is the enigma. He started as a child and he was able to keep it going all the way because of his almost supernatural talent.
"The problem with that is he never really had a personal life. He never had a chance to live."
For Jackson, the pressures of celebrity "exaggerated and exacerbated" what likely already were some deep emotional and mental wounds, according to Wanis.
Multiple reports from the Jackson family, including Michael, described severe beatings and emotional abuse by Michael's father, Joseph Jackson, who relentlessly drove his children to become pop superstars.
Michael's actions in later years -- from his serial plastic surgeries, which removed all family resemblance, to his famous crotch-grabbing dance move -- can be seen as lashing out over that abuse, Wanis said.
"He resented his father," he said. "He was in rebellion, almost like a subconscious rebellion, against his father."
The behavior didn't stop with dance moves and surgery. There was the chimpanzee and the tigers and dangling his child briefly from a hotel balcony.
Most notoriously, and damaging, were the charges of sexually abusing the young boys he befriended, charges for which he was found not guilty in court, even as reports of a multimillion-dollar settlement with another boy's family persisted.
The high-profile trial, and its lurid testimony, drove Jackson further down the path of antisocial behavior, turning him into a hermit almost on par with famed billionaire Howard Hughes.
In the end, Wanis said, it may have been the desire to perform again that led to his death. He was training hard for a tour that was hoped to spark a musical comeback, as well as one more chance to bask in the glory of his fame.
"There were a lot of people with a lot of vested interest in making sure he would stay alive at whatever cost," Wanis said. "The people around him were intent on making sure he could get whatever he needed just so he could get through those concerts."
As the world responded to Jackson's death, some observers paused from the accolades to reflect on celebrity's apparent toll.
"It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a 'normal life' found a connection," Lisa Marie Presley, Jackson's ex-wife and the daughter of Elvis Presley, wrote Friday on her blog. "I wanted to save him. I wanted to save him from the inevitable, which is what has just happened."

Columnist Andrew Sullivan, on his blog for The Nation magazine, wrote that he grieved for Jackson "but I also grieve for the culture that created and destroyed him."
"That culture is ours, and it is a lethal and brutal one: With fame and celebrity as its core values, with money as its sole motive, it chewed this child up and spat him out," Sullivan wrote. "I hope he has the peace now he never had in his life. And I pray that such genius will not be so abused again."

Michael Jackson: Urban Pop Icon
The only thing that ever really makes me feel better is to give. So this is my gift to you.
Below is my artist statement so that you can see this type of work is and has always been part of my vision as an artist and "what I'm up to" when I'm working. Opportunist I tend not to be, but this moment in time is tragically coded in my DNA. In other words, this is a moment when things I've been contemplating and examining are in sync with the emotions I am feeling. This is work whose time has unfortunately come.
Celebrate life for it is fleeting and precious. Embrace who you are because you are wonderful. Define yourself lest you allow others to define you. Be courageously proud of who you are while embracing the diversity gifted to us by God. If you are a blank slate then this steam roller we call pop culture will write it's vision of you all over your face. So dance boldly to your own song, paint your own portrait and respect the right of others to do the very same thing.
________________
Artist Statement
There is one constant in life, art and the space in between and that constant is change. “We are much more alike than we are different” and I believe that we are most similar in our fear of change. These are two of the guiding principles in my life and art and my work is an exploration and celebration of each principle.
In the current phase of my work I often appropriate iconic imagery from canonical art movements and artists. I merge these histories with distinctly African-American cultural content and perspective. My intent is to expose the blindness of traditional art history and pop culture, while reflecting on the complexity and malleability of the African-American experience. The work is also an examination on the effects of the fear of change on art history and the African-American experience.
Art for me is an honest expression of the divinity within each of us and allows me the freedom to explore my relationship with change. My intention is to engage the viewer in a way that encourages one to contemplate how we see the world and to challenge our notions about historical events, art, pop culture and so called sub-culture. I believe that notions of self are developed in direct relationship to the images and information provided to us via the media, religion and our respective peer groups and families. I am interested in exploring and examining the power of art and imagery to create, inform and alter perceived reality while demonstrating the transformative power of change.

Michael Jackson has passed away
When I was young and not sure what I wanted to do with my life God found a very creative way to gently push me in the direction I needed to go. A friend was working on a music video with her cousin who was directing the video and she called me to come in and interview for a job as a stand in. I got the job and for the next nine days I was stand in for Michael Jackson on his now legendary Thriller video.
He was kind, he was fun and he was a great mentor who stimulated the creative urge in me and helped to set me on the path that I follow to this day. For a brief period of time he was a friend. I learned alot from him during those nine days including how to follow my dreams, be a good son, be a good person and most of all he told me to believe in myself. It took a few years for me to fully embrace the challenge of believing in myself, but the message always lived inside me. Much to my surprise when I ran into him several times in subsequent years he actually remembered me (not an easy thing to do when you meet thousands of new people per month) and took time to say hello and ask how I've been doing.
I will NEVER forget the blessing of being able to know a hero as an acquaintance. I will always treasure the conversations we shared and the knowledge he imparted. I will forever be grateful for the experience he provided and for the thrill of a lifetime.
Life is brief, life is a blessing and of course we never know how long our lives will last. The mission is to do your very best with the time you are given. Michael Joseph Jackson did that better than anyone before him the music business and touched lives in ways that transcend mere entertainment.
50 years of you, was like multiple lifetimes for most of us. Thank you for touching my life in a very personal way. Rest well and thank you for the memories my friend.
BIO from Wikipedia
Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009[2]) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and businessman. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of 11 as a member of The Jackson 5 and began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group. Referred to as the "King of Pop" in subsequent years, five of his solo studio albums have become some of the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995).
In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African-American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and Thriller—credited for transforming the music video into an art form and a promotional tool—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists.
Jackson donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his foundation, charity singles and support of 39 charities. Other aspects of his personal life, including his changing appearance and behavior, generated significant controversy, damaging his public image.
One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time"—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career—more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era—and the sales of over 750 million albums worldwide. Cited as one of the world's most famous men, Jackson's highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, has made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades.
After being taken to the hospital in a coma, Jackson was reportedly pronounced dead on June 25, 2009.[

Structured Simplicity at DAC in Brooklyn
Fabienne Lasserre, Worldless, felt, pigment, acrylic polymer, molding paste, linen, armature, acrylic paint, 2009. Image courtesy of the artist.
Structured Simplicity will present a group of artists, Mai Braun, Hilary Harnischfeger, Elana Herzog, Fabienne Lasserre, and Amy Yoes, who work in sculpture and site-specific installation. From a formalist and abstract perspective, the exhibition will investigate aspects of simplicity, taking purification as a point of departure i.e. making things simpler through structure, be they confined or chaotic. In bringing this group together, the curator, Felicity Hogan, seeks to explore varying manifestations of this concept and how structures are formed and conveyed through diversity of approach and use of materials.
The exhibition debuts new site-specific works by Mai Braun, Elana Herzog and Amy Yoes as well as previously unseen new works by Fabienne Lasserre and Hilary Harnischfeger. Fabienne Lasserre’s humorously crafted and sensual sculptures, striking a bold intelligent balance between the logical and illogical, are positioned alongside Mai Braun's mischievously formed shredded NY Times-mâché piece: Your Emotions Make You a Monster. Mai Braun’s stacked cardboard boxes parallel and echo Amy Yoes' mechanical hard-edged installation. Hilary Harnischfeger’s deftly sliced and angular sculptures complement Elana Herzog’s de-constructed garments and bed linens, patched aggressively with compulsively tacked staples. Additional connections will be reinforced through proximity. An influence of rudimentary materials is common to all artists with processes that revel in tension and release. In the art of Amy Yoes, Hilary Harnischfeger and Mai Braun, the subtle use of planes and angles form associations that display contrasting use of a comparable visual language. Manipulation and the distortion of architectural form further connect works by Amy Yoes and Elana Herzog.
Structured Simplicity was developed in response to the distinctive architecture and character of the DAC gallery. While sculpture and installation are the primary focus, the exhibition also includes bas-reliefs by Hilary Harnischfeger and works on paper by Mai Braun as well as a new video by Amy Yoes created especially for Structured Simplicity.

NEW KALUP LINZY VIDEOS
See it here first...a brand new double dose of video and performance artist Kalup Linzy. The two videos are respectively for the tunes "Sampled and Leftova" and "Fuck U" Kalup continues his brilliance with help from special guest stars: Chloe Sevigny, Lisa Kebede, Humberto Petit and James "PJ" Ransone. If you pay close attention during the party scene you may catch a glimpse of a familiar artist/photographer and blogger you all know well.
The two videos were created for Proenza Schouler. On the Occasion of Pitti W_No 4. A Project of Fondazione Pitti Discovery Produced by Art Production Fund.
Enjoy.
(yours truly with Kalup Linzy on the set of Fuck U
Kalup Linzy is an American video and performance artist currently living and working in Brooklyn. Born in Stuckey, Florida, Linzy graduated from the MFA program at the University of South Florida in 2003. He also attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and in 2005 received a grant from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation. In 2007, he was named a Guggenheim fellow and in 2008 he received a Creative Capital Grant and a fellowship from the Jerome Foundation. Linzy's best known work is a series of video art pieces satirizing the tone and narrative approach of television soap opera. Linzy performs most of the characters himself, many of them in drag. Linzy also performs on stage using many of the same characters. His work has been reviewed in The New York Times, Art in America, and Artforum. In 2007, New York Magazine named him one of the ten most promising artists. Rachel Wolf writes:
In “Conversations Wit de Churen,” Linzy is doing to daytime soaps what John Waters did to his Baltimore childhood. Part Richard Pryor, part RuPaul, Linzy writes, directs, and stars (wigged, heeled, and often scantily clad) in this series of shorts that are tender and vulgar, hilarious and heartfelt. “It’s a real homage to the comic geniuses within the African-American community,” says Thelma Golden of the Studio Museum in Harlem, where Linzy’s work was the sleeper hit of the 2005 show “Frequency.” With new YouTube video stars popping regularly, Linzy (who received a Guggenheim fellowship this year) has been pegged as a key figure in a new generation of “queer video artists.”
Linzy's work is included in the public collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Studio Museum in Harlem, and Whitney Museum of American Art.

DCKT Contemporary (in New York) is pleased to present two solo exhibitions: new paintings by CLAIRE SHERMAN and new needlepoint works by MARIA E. PIÑERES
CLAIRE SHERMAN
MARIA E. PIÑERES
June 26 — August 22, 2009
Opening Reception:
Thursday, June 25, 6 - 8pm 195 Bowery
New York, NY
212-741-9955
Claire Sherman: Weeds II, 2008, oil on canvas, 72 x 60”
DCKT Contemporary is pleased to present two solo exhibitions: new paintings by CLAIRE SHERMAN and new needlepoint works by MARIA E. PIÑERES.
CLAIRE SHERMAN's paintings address tragedy, romanticism and ambivalence through landscape. Philosophical writings on the sublime and existentialism influence her recent paintings depicting scenes of vast open spaces, cliffs, ravines, rapids and other ominous topography. The choice of landscape is deliberately idiosyncratic; the scenes can be anywhere or anything: tropical, arctic, lunar, or mundane. However, despite the hopeful curiosity this variety implies, emptiness pervades each environment. SHERMAN’s approach is bold and painterly with large sweeping brushstrokes, from thin to overly thick areas of paint, as her images waver between abstraction and representation.
SHERMAN lives and works in Chicago. Her work is included in the Margulies Collection (Miami) and the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art (Overland, KS). Recent solo exhibitions include Kavi Gupta Gallery (Chicago) and Hof & Huyser (Amsterdam). She was included in the group exhibition Future Tense: Reshaping the Landscape at the Neuberger Museum of Art (Purchase, NY) in 2008. SHERMAN has been selected as a recipient of The Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation Space Program for 2009-10.
Maria E. Piñeres: deco5, 2009, cotton floss on paper, 7 x 5 ¼” on 9 x 6” paper
MARIA E. PIÑERES’s needlepoint works place the nude figure in an optical duel with decorative arts. Tantalizing black and white nudes are juxtaposed with the sharp bright colors borrowed and built upon from wallpaper patterns of the glamorous Art Deco era, questioning positive and negative space. The black, white and grey figures emphasize both the nostalgic value of erotic nudes of early men’s “physique” periodicals and “girlie” magazines.
PIÑERES lives and works in Los Angeles. Recent solo exhibitions include Walter Maciel Gallery (Los Angeles). She was included in the group exhibitions Pricked: Extreme Embroidery at the Museum of Arts & Design (New York) and Celebrity at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art (Scottsdale, AZ).

NYC: Farmani Gallery presents Px3 Essence of Water Winners Showcase June 18-27, 2009
Farmani Gallery presents
Px3 Essence of Water Winners Showcase
June 18-27, 2009
Opening Reception: Thursday, June 18, 6-8pm
Photography by Balazs Gardi, Brent Stirton, Simon Harsent, Kent Mathews, Richard W J Koh, Arturo Zavala Haag, Ezra Millstein, Gabe Palacio, Ami Vitale, Martin Soeby, Andrew P Brooks, Alison Jones, Nir Alon, Akshay Mahajan, Jacqueline Berthaume, Phillip Lee Harvey, Michael Schnabel, Hamideh Zolfaaghari, Keith Foster, Lui Roq, JuneYoung Lim, Sergio Pessolano, and John Trotter
(June 11, 2009, Brooklyn, NY) Farmani Gallery is proud to partner with Px3 Prix de la Photographie, Paris in showcasing the winning photographers of the 2009 Essence of Water photograph competition. This group show features twenty-three International photographers and was expertly curated by Susan Baraz, whose vast photographic endeavors include; serving co-chair of the Lucie Awards and Head of Judges for the International Photography Awards.
"These outstanding images portray Water, and the various ways it effects life on our fragile, thirsty planet. Depending on where you were born, Water will play a huge part of your day. One would risk death, to acquire a small bucketful---or thoughtlessly squander it in the simple act of brushing ones teeth. Water is an instrument for fun, work, energy, healing, killing, soothing, torturing, quenching, praying and sanctifying.
"Captured in these compelling photographs, is the intimate, but tenuous, relationship with the REAL elixir, sustaining our world.

Exhibition dates: June 20 - August 2
Artists' reception: Saturday, June 20, 5-8pm
Apropos of Robert Rauschenberg, John Cage once remarked, "Beauty is now underfoot wherever we take the trouble to look." His comment suggests not merely that the commonplace can be transformed into art, but that this art has the potential for beauty. The artists in this exhibition take the banalities of life and transform them into poetic statements. The source material for these striking works, ranging from the dust on the floor of the gallery to text from a local newspapers, are rendered virtually unrecognizable by the artists' aesthetic commitment.
The artists in Beauty Underfoot synthesize every moment of our daily experience, creating a sense of the sublime that paradoxically hovers between an extreme connection and a highly removed detachment from its derivation. Each work exists as a testament to their ability to mutate the quotidian into the lyrical. However, Beauty Underfoot goes even further, challenging the viewers to move beyond the aesthetic object, reviewing and confronting its source. When examined more closely, the works refer to mundaneness, hardship, and even injustice without any didacticism. The artists do not shy away from reality, but nor do they allow it to eclipse their creativity. The works in the exhibition ultimately transcend the ordinary, transforming it into the extraordinary.

One Dress
Whenever I'm asked how I am and what I've been up to lately, the answers tend to be the same. I am doing well, a little tired and I've been workin my a$$etts off!. The only detail that gets added is that I've been shooting lots of new images or I'm hard at work on new art, all of which is true. These answers are likely to remain the same for months and years to come. However, it's time for some of the fruits of this labor to start making their way into the public domain.
My big projects wont be completed for quite some time, but some of the fashion gigs will start to surface very soon. "One Dress" is one of these projects.
Malcolm Harris of Mal Sirrah, Inc. is a friend and supporter. He has an incredible project that he is launching worldwide and asked me to participate as one of two photographers on the project. I was sleepy, tired and under the weather, but when a world class designer requests your presence and invites you to shoot his latest project you get over yourself and out of the bed and make it happen which I (and my new friend and fellow photographer on the project Aranka Israni) did.
Malcolm has a long history of being very involved in visual art as a collector, curator and close friend to some legends from the art world. That probably has something to do with why he chose two fine art photographers to shoot this important new collection which is a essentially a solo performance by one very special dress.
This fashion feature is the first of many coming soon to Urban Pop Life and features my work from the project. To see Aranka Israni's work and the rest of this incredible project check out the official website http://one-dress.ning.com
One Dress is a very important and very creative project. I'm happy to have participated and wish Malcolm and the gang at Mal Sirrah, Inc. luck with the project and their stated mission to "change the world, one dress at a time."
Claes Oldenburg: Early Sculpture, Drawings, and Happenings Films Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen: The Music Room
May 7-September 6, 2009
One of the most innovative artists of the postwar period, Claes Oldenburg (b. 1929) is best known for sculptures and drawings that disrupt our expectations of how ordinary objects “behave.” In 1976, he began an extraordinary creative partnership with the art historian and curator Coosje van Bruggen (1942-2009) that continued for more than thirty years. The Whitney has championed their work for several decades and now possesses one of the world’s largest collections. Drawn primarily from the museum’s extensive holdings of drawings, sculpture, film, and archival material, this presentation illuminates the themes of metamorphosis and artistic collaboration that are at the heart of their practice.
Iconic examples of Oldenburg's early sculpture on view include Giant BLT (Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich) (1963), French Fries and Ketchup (1963), and Soft Toilet (1966). A highlight of the exhibition is Oldenburg’s Ice Bag – Scale C (1971), which has undergone extensive conservation work in preparation for this exhibition. These and other early sculptures are complemented by several dozen works on paper by Oldenburg and by Oldenburg with van Bruggen. Also, for the first time, rare films of Oldenburg’s Happenings will be shown together in the Whitney’s Film & Video Gallery, projected in loops around the walls. Two of the films – Fotodeath (1961) and Autobodys (1967) have not been seen since they were first screened in the 1960s, and have been restored especially for the exhibition.
A full room has been dedicated to a series of sculptures of musical instruments by Oldenburg and van Bruggen in a presentation entitled The Music Room. As installed at the Whitney, The Music Room includes both hard and soft instruments of differing scales that range in date from 1992 to 2006. Among the objects included are variations on a viola, saxophone, clarinets, French horns, sheet music, and a metronome. A select group of related drawings will hang nearby. The theme and form of musical instruments proved ideal for exploring physical and material transformations and the resulting shifts in meaning. Metamorphosis occurs here through scale and the way soft and hard forms can playfully transform our everyday perceptions of the function or performance of musical instruments. Although these have been concerns of the artists throughout their careers, the Music Room’s display brings these ideas to the fore in a particularly focused way. Curators: Carter Foster, Chrissie Iles, and Dana Miller.

Spencer Finch: The River That Flows Both Ways
Spencer Finch, The River That Flows Both Ways, rendering, 2007
The River That Flows Both Ways
Creative Time, Friends of the High Line, and the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation are pleased to announce the inaugural art commission by Spencer Finch for the opening of the first section of the High Line as a public park in June 2009.
Inspired by the light and the water of the Hudson River, The River that Flows Both Ways will transform an existing series of windows with 700 individually crafted panes of glass representing the water conditions on the Hudson River over a period of 700 minutes on a single day. The installation will be placed in a semi-enclosed former loading dock where the High Line runs through the Chelsea Market building, between 15th and 16th Streets, viewable from the street and on the High Line. The work links the movement of the river, viewable from the site, with the historic movement of the railway and the atmospheric conditions of its location on Manhattan’s West Side. The piece, with its varied levels of color, translucency, and reflectivity, addresses the impossible search for the color of water.
The title of this work comes from the original Native American word for the Hudson River, Muhheakantuck, which means “the river that flows both ways.” This flow in two directions is analogous to the way both water and glass work optically, as both windows and mirrors, allowing a view into depth as well as a reflection of the surrounding environment.
To create the colors of the glass, Finch fastened a camera to the railing of a tugboat, and used an intervelometer to photograph the Hudson River 700 times, once a minute for 700 minutes. The boat began the trip at the 79th Street Boat Basin and floated upriver with the current to 120th Street, reversed direction with the tide and traveled down to New York Harbor, and lastly back upriver. The boat flowed naturally with the river in both directions, rather than relying on its engines to propel it. After recording the 700 different points in space and time on the Hudson River, Finch carefully selected the exact color of a single point in each photograph to produce a uniquely printed film to be laminated onto glass. The glass was placed in the existing architecture of the High Line to correspond with the pictures chronologically, starting from the top left (if one’s back is to the Chelsea market). The “minutes” progress to the right for 70 panes, and continue from left to right on the next row down.
Spencer Finch will be included in the 53rd Venice Biennale, in the Arsenale this summer. This is his first major public project in New York City.

Meet Los Angeles Artist Anna Sew Hoy
Kinsey/DesForges presents: COLE STERNBERG: NEW WORKS
IMAGE: What Would You Do? Mixed media on canvas, 60 x 72 inches
Kinsey/DesForges welcomes Los Angeles-based artist Cole Sternberg with his first solo exhibition at the gallery. He will be showing all new works on canvas. The show will open on June 6th with an artist's reception from 7-10pm and continue through July 11th, 2009.
Inspired, in part, by childhood recollections of Monet's water lillies and Twombly's textural narratives, Sternberg's own urban impressions combine saturated pigments with a pastiche of rapid gestural marks. HIs large-scale pieces are built from layers of lyrical texts, graffiti, streaming acrylics and thick oil impasto that co-exist to form a reflection of the artist's composite experience.

Raw part two
Lawd this goes into the category of less is more. In my mention of my seeing the show Raw last Saturday I apparently offended a journalist who thought I was referring specifically to his/her review (which I wasn't as I haven't even read it in it's entirety).
I usually don't spend time thinking about let alone replying to people taking offense to things that were not intended to be offensive and most certainly NOT ABOUT THEM! However, because I actually like and respect this particular journalist I wanted to publicly make it clear that my post was not in any way a comment on him/her or the publication they write for.
This is a perfect example of the power of The Four Agreements, two of which were broken here. The first was the first agreement (Be impeccable with your word). I broke that agreement by trying to be witty and demonstrating that I was just offering my thoughts on a show I saw as opposed to my writing a review. LESS IS MORE, had I wrote less and not tried to be witty there would have been no room for mis-interpretation of any kind.
The second agreement broken here was (Do not take ANYTHING personally because it's NOT ABOUT YOU...ever!!!) My comments were not meant to be derogatory to begin with and certainly not about a specific person or their journalism.
Anyone who knows me knows I could care less about the silly things that people say and do to each other as long as they do not affect me or cause harm to others. In this particular case since I was partly to blame by trying to be funny and simply coming off shady instead AND the fact that I actually like and respect the person who was offended...I decided to use this as an opportunity to publicly apologize for NOT being impeccable with my word and to share this as an example of how the Four Agreements could have prevented this whole thing.
Check out the Four Agreements. I have gotten pretty good at living them and they make a huge difference. Clearly I can learn to do better. By the way the previously offended party and I did do one thing correctly...we spoke to each other directly, cleared it all up and laughed at the foolishness of it all. Ahhh the power of the truth and positivity.
Have a great evening.
Ricky
THE FOUR AGREEMENTS
1. Be Impeccable With Your Word
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.
2. Don't Take Anything Personally
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
3. Don't Make Assumptions
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.
4. Always Do Your Best
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

ODE TO ODIN works by Ernest Concepcion at NY Studio Gallery in Manhattan
ODE TO ODIN
works by Ernest Concepcion
June 4 - 27, 2009
Artist Reception: Friday June 12, 7 - 9pm
NY Studio Gallery is pleased to present Ode to Odin works by Ernest Concepcion. With an underground reputation for rendering pastoral, warring landscapes peopled by meticulous caricatures of high-density sci-fi populations on canvas, Ernest Concepcion boldly moves into in a new series of aluminum paintings that focus on a single event—the detonation of the atomic bomb. In this new body of work, Concepcion studies NY Times reporter William L. Laurence’s fetishization of the effects of nuclear warfare and testing. Paid off by the CIA to underreport the colossal devastation of the American atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Laurence reported in 1945 how “watching it as it was being fashioned into a living thing, so exquisitely shaped that any sculptor would be proud to have created it, one . . . felt oneself in the presence of the supranatural." Concepcion dares to suggest as much in a series of enamel paintings of the (in)famous mushroom cloud exploding with color.
In his 2006 painting Ode to Odin, Concepcion captures the primary symbols of war: sex, greed and strife. He begins by depicting colorful idyllic landscapes, using acrylic or oil paint which, following a period of one to three months, he aggressively tags the surface of with Sharpie pens. Miniscule figures and outer-space hybrids find themselves trapped in an endless nightmare of battle. He breaks away from the imposed linearity of modern comics, overlapping, instead, varying scenes in order to suggest that such caricatures share the same space of the viewer.
