RHYTHM SHOP VISIT




morgan blair rhythm snowboards

Last night I snuck over to Plymouth MA for a kool shop visit with Matt of Rhythm Snowboards. He and his brother Pat hand-make all their boards, which allows their genuine personal awesomeness, passion and refined technical craft to inform every piece. It was pretty rad to see a bunch of boards in various stages of production, including one being birthed from this massive molding press/board bender/bone crusher. I had no previous understanding of how a snowboard is made, but I'm pretty sure this proccess is objectively impressive. AND the boards hit the snow in a sexy matte finish, which is a good look on any sort of vehicle, I feel. These dudes are seriously the coolest! They are the best to work with, and I'm super proud to get to contribute to such a high quality operation and vibe. Palpable vibes!

Turkey Town










Just watched approximately thirty turkeys fly up one by one into the trees behind my parents' house to roost. Above are half of them traipsing around the yard before convening at the teepee. They talk a lot and flap occasionally. The beautiful white one is the leader. They will come down again at quarter to sunrise. So cool.






11.23.11



Chartpak












I'm at my parents' house for Thanksgiving. Dad passed these old transfer characters on to me. I guess their brand is "Chartpak." You are supposed to burnish the back of the letter you want to transfer onto whatever thing you are lettering. Sounds tedious and awesome. Inside the book of fonts were some other miscellaneous papers, including one with a funny remark on it about water-drinking, and one with what appears to be some sketches my dad made for a logo of his initials. This was really cool and weird to find because it seems really similar to something I would do. I assume it is from as long ago as this manual system of lettering. I am thankful for these discoveries.

RHYTHM

I made some graphics for Rhythm Snowboards over the summer, and now the boards are available to buy! Perfect, dream client right hur. Amazing to work with. And all their boards are hand-built! Mint! Thanks Matt, and Aaron for putting us in touch!


(In other news, I broke my arm on halloween when a wayward trick-or-treater darted in front of my bike. Weirdly, I have no memory of being thrown off, but the kid was fine so maybe I braked so hard and suddenly that I didn't even hit her at all. A pretty surreal experience given the mob of costumed kids and parents that instantly appeared around me. Super happy I was wearing a helmet, a jacket with enormous shoulder pads, and didn't have my computer in my backpack. At this point, it doesn't hurt to sneeze anymore but I still can't tie my right shoe. So, I've been doing a lot of puzzles.)

PAINT POUR PICS

Just got back film from Maya's paint pour at Monster Island. Even though I only snuck in for the last short year of its life, I will dearly miss this place. Specifically:
- its beer/paint/concrete/sawdust/pot smell
- the metal drone/vibrations that came up through the pillars and walls
- the family of resident cats
- my bike ride there
- our window pigeons
- hang time with Doubles
- rain sounds on the roof
- the literal warm fuzzy feeling of being there

I'm grateful to Maya, Wolfy, Doubles and everyone else I met who made me feel welcome. Cloaking the building in paint was a good way to say goodbye.

PAINT POUR




monster island paint pour



To honor our beloved Monster Island for the last time before its destruction (R.I.P.), the great Maya Hayuk organized this paint pour.

On Sunday at 3pm we will be pouring paint from the rooftop over the mural project I've conducted for the last 7 years. The building will be demolished in a few weeks, so rather than let the wrecking ball do dirty work, we will draw the proverbial curtain in one, synchronized action.

This was insanely fun and the building looks beautiful. More in-depth thoughts on this and a roll of photos later. Thank you Maya!

Good Press






Hey you guys! Guess what? The great folks of Museums Press are starting Good Press, a gallery and bookshop space in Glasgow, UK. The infos, from their Sponsume page:

Museums Press is an independent publishing house based in Glasgow, UK. We release zines, prints and artists books and organise exhibitions, events and group projects. We work with visual artists and contemporary illustrators from around the world to release publications of their work. Our aim and focus is to create a quality output where the artists work is key. Museums Press is run by Matthew Walkerdine and Jessica Higgins. We are both practicing artists and self-publishers and understand how difficult it is find outlets and exhibition spaces to stock and show your work.

Our next step is Good Press, a permanent outlet including a gallery, bookshop and small cafe to showcase individual artists and groups who are independently practising their artforms and projects. In the lead up to this we plan to open a series of temporary exhibition spaces in unused shops across Glasgow to raise funds and awareness of the project; this is where you come in...

Good Work(s) and Improbable Places Poetry Tour






I have three pieces (Luck, Warm Igloo, and Two Cats Under Goo)in this kool show opening tonight at 17 Cox, in Beverly, MA.

Featuring: Morgan Blair, Maria Penil Cobo, Derek Erdman, Claudia Fitch, Eddie Holtorf, Steve Locke, Julie Miller, and Erica Smith.

Reception for Good Work(s): May 5th, 5:30 - 8:30pm
Artist Talk 6:30 pm
Improbable Places Poetry Tour 7 pm
More info at 17 Cox.com

This May, co-curators Lucas Spivey and Emily Pardoe explore the ethics and limitations of curation in Good Work(s), an exhibition that champions kindness as well as content. The show will open concurrently with the Improbable Places Poetry Tour, led by Colleen Michaels.

Spivey and Pardoe have selected 8 artists (4 each) who are outstanding as both artists and individuals. Straight-forwardness, integrity and affability are qualities that behoove any individual, artist or not; and are of particular use to the cultural institutions and proceedings that work with artists. What defines good art and good character? Good Work(s) explores the subjectivity of these two cultural willow-the-wisps.

The Improbable Places Poetry Tour is a traveling performance of revolving writers organized by Colleen Michaels. Each month Michaels selects an improbable place for poetry readings and bases the call to poets on that space. For May, Colleen is soliciting writings inspired by the artwork in the Good Work(s) exhibition at 17 Cox.


Thanks Emily!!

The Rain in Maine Falls Mainly on the Easter Eggs






I'm home for the next week to visit family and do the RISD Alumni Spring Sale. I found a stack of awesome old notebooks and sketch pads and general yellowed paper on a trunk in my room, apparently for me to take and use. It's hard to say whether I'm more thrilled by the prospect of doing so, or this gem I found on the last page of one of the notebooks (above.)




My awesome puzzle-maker uncle made this insane puzzle. It is unbelievably precise.




Easter-egg paiting is another cherished craft of tradition.




Maine is lush, damp, and foggy.




And it has lots of moss everywhere as well as these beautiful fungi.

Group Show






Spoke Art is proud to present: “Quentin vs. Coen - An art show tribute to the films of Tarantino and the Brothers”, a followup to last year’s highly successful “Bad Dads - a tribute to Wes Anderson.” For “Quentin vs. Coen”, Spoke Art has arranged a battle-royal style art show featuring over 100 world class artists from the new contemporary art scene. Painters, screen printers and digital artists were invited to reinterpret their favorite scenes, characters and films from the heralded directors, resulting in an eclectic showing of inspirational fine art.

The first installment of our “versus” series, “Quentin vs Coen” looks to expand on the concept of a pop-culture themed art show by pitting together two directors who share overlapping or similar stylistic themes, and allowing the viewer to decide their favorites. Though there are many distinct differences between the bodies of work created by both Quentin Tarantino and the Coen Brothers, their crafting of generation-defining soundtracks, the penchant for ubiquitous violence, their casting of the same actors (notably Steve Buscemi), and their ability to constantly create spectacular works of varying genres (everything from Kung-Fu to crime dramas to westerns), have cemented both Quentin and the Coens as some of the most important directors of our generation.

For our upcoming show, Spoke Art has recruited an extensive network of renowned and emerging artists in a spontaneous and free for all art exhibit. No restrictions were placed on content or subject matter, allowing each artist to chose their personal favorite scenes, films and characters. With over 100 artists, “Quentin vs. Coen” offers a broad range of affordable prints and also fine art works.

The show opens on Thursday, April 7th at Bold Hype Gallery in New York City and will be on view until Saturday, April 9th. We will be celebrating our opening night with a costume contest and complimentary “Caucasian” cocktails (White Russians).

Phun in Philly






I spent the weekend in Philly with a kool krew deinstalling Aurora Robson's large-scale solo installation Be Like Water, at The Skybox in 2424 Studios. Once again I had way way too much fun, beginning with a 38' scissor lift and culminating 36 hours later with a 2am Choco Taco.

We also watched a documentary called Bag It. It hasn't come out yet, but in the meantime you should watch the trailer and keep an eye out for it. The information and footage it presents about the impact of plastics on our world and ourselves is flooring, and no where near close enough to being common knowledge. Everybody needs to see this movie; it is important.

If you are in LA you should go to The Open Daybook exhibition at LACE! The opening is this Thursday, January 6th. Yes, it is the same night as the premiere of the new season of Jersey Shore, but as I am in Brooklyn I won't have the problem of choosing between these two monumental events. Maybe you can find some way to do both, like, go to the opening and then watch J.S. I don't know, you've got to figure it out for yourself. I know you can do it.


January 6th - February 6th, 2011
Opening Reception, Thursday January 6, 8pm
LACE - 6522 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, 90028
