The Month that Was, part II.

I've been meaning to write a blog post, but I just haven't had a whole lot of time to do so. I'm home sick today, so there's no better time to do a full blog post.

In the last month I've gone to Sacramento for a wedding, to Philadelphia for another wedding. There was a huge art show opening in LA for Modernism in LA between 1945 and 1980. I've also had a chance to complete the book case and do some other work on the condo.



 Arnaud was kind enough to create the book cases for me, he cut them and placed them into the condo. There was a huge amount of dust in my condo from the buzz saws and sand paper. I'm still digging myself out of the dust created by the saws.




I went to Philly to see Ben and Marissa get hitched. It was a great time and a much needed (mini) vacation. 

The big news in Los Angeles is the opening of the region wide "Pacific Standard Time", last Sunday LACMA had free admittance in celebration of this region wide event. LACMA had an exhibit on California Modernism. I've attached some photos of my favorite items in the collection.







The exhibit's byline is "Living in a modern way", to me, that's what modernism is all about. It's an embrace of past and an acknowledgment that  design can be harnessed to create a more humane and democratic future.
