Apple Pie: this category of my blog includes articles and videos about Apple Pie, my conceptual series exploring the American identity.
Civil rights and multipotentialites

This post started out as a glowing review of Kenji Yoshino’s book Covering: The Hidden Assault on Our Civil Rights and turned into a similar sort of endorsement of Emilie Wapnick’s work.
Mieux faire son art

Le sujet d’une œuvre d’art et son thème sont souvent la même chose et parfois ils sont complètement indépendants, mais c’est quand ils sont assez différents que l’œuvre devient intéressante.
On making better art

The subject of a work of art and its topic are often the same thing and sometimes they’re completely unrelated, but it’s when they’re just different enough that the work gets interesting.
The privilege of being on CubFluffer

This still from my recent interview with Gabe Flores pretty much sums up our relationship and probably everything we talked about too.
Good for the art, good for the career

A core element of good art is an artist’s sustainable art practice, and that only comes with a thriving career.
The energetic nature of art-making

I got flowers at my opening this week and they represent so much more than just a nice gesture.
Dead, tired, or vital?

Is it okay to exhibit the same work multiple times? Or does art lose a certain luster once it has been displayed?
Art in a series / L’art en série

Creating art in a series makes the art better and, as a bonus, can even help the artist’s career. Créer l’art en série donne naissance à des œuvres supérieures et peut même aider la carrière de l’artiste.
More American than you

I feel sorry for people without recent immigrant heritage. They can’t possibly know what it’s like to be American.
Allegorical portraiture / Le portrait allégorique

Allegorical portraiture is the very best kind of art. Le portrait allégorique est la meilleure forme d’art.
Art = content + delivery / L’art = le fond + la forme

I know I was just saying a couple of weeks ago that “art = idea + technique + person,” but this equation is important too! Je sais bien qu’il y quinze jours je disais que «l’art = une idée + une technique + une personne» mais cette équation est utile aussi!
