Yeah, “cliche–generating” is kinda what my spouse and I were getting at the other day, looking at various examples. So far, at least, the default responses don’t care about being perfect (or even fully correct), they just aim to satisfy the prompt well enough. I like the word used here: satisficing.

Happened to catch the #MinaLoy exhibit at Bowdoin Art Museum on Saturday. It’s her first solo exhibition since 1959 (which was curated by Marcel Duchamp). Utterly fascinating. I’ve know her mostly through her #poetry but her visual #art is varied and some of it groundbreaking. I really loved the assemblages and #collages in her later period—they prefigure Rauschenberg and directly inspired Joseph Cornell. Just wow. Up through mid September. The book is also stunning.

Helen Frankenthaler on #Printmaking. (#Lithography in this case.)

Spring has a run of my fave holidays, since they are all secular and there’s not really any shopping: 4/20, Arbor Day, and May the Fourth.

I don’t love doing this bit, but they do look swell in their mats.
