Poems

night’s end

Posted on November 5, 2014 by dumsumla

Acela screams
Past tombstones,
Shading Dead from
Morning sun.
One last
Bit of Black
Before Living rise,
Ruining all the Fun.

Cool Pics

My wife did something super special for us this weekend for my birthday, which is next week when we won’t be together. Can’t wait to visit again.

Stacked. #nj #boxcar

This business called show can be super satisfying and fantastically fun. It’s also tough as hell—long hours, separation from loved ones, and lost sleep. I couldn’t be more fortunate to have the support of my strong women. The girls have done without their papa, and Christy’s been on her own with the girls much more than she’d like. But it’s evenings like tonight—perfect weather on closing night—when they come visit at work and we all get to experience the joy together. Makes it all worthwhile.

This is one to flip through to see the progress: @marymattingly joined us at the @aasummerfest this past weekend for a four day community driven residency presented with @ummamuseum “Objects in the Round.” Participants brought objects or selected donated objects from @a2recycle and added to the installation. They drew objects or wrote stories about their objects before placing them in the growing sculpture. Then, on the final day, Mary deinstalled the work by wrapping it up in a tight bundle, which echoes her work “Life of Objects” at UMMA’s current exhibition The World to Come: Art in the Age of Anthropocene. Was very happy our little artists were able to contribute to the work, and Mary generously took a pic with #winro to commemorate the moment.

Seven years ago I posted the work of @davidzinn on social media. Was a random share of something I loved. Quirky, fun, and lovely. Feel fortunate to have landed here in Ann Arbor where I have the honor of presenting his work each year. Thanks, David.

The future’s so bright... #lastdayofschool #schoolsoutforsummer #winro #yipeeeeee

Finally caught #theworldtocome Art in the age of Anthropocene at @ummamuseum. Honored to be presenting @marymattingly at @aasummerfest in conjunction with this important group show. Join Mary at #topofthepark June 27-30 in the Annex and help her create her newest community collaboration Objects in the Round. The World to Come offers many sundry perspectives on where our big blue marble is headed. Check it out.

When you’re thrilled you’ve conquered King’s Landing but decide to destroy it all anyway.

Said goodbye to this fella last night. 16 years. Pretty good run.

“Help me up, papa! Help me up!” #winro

Today’s the last day in NYC. I’ve seen at least 30 shows, including music, theater, cirque, and dance. Had countless meetings and visited places I’d never been before, like Queens Theater and the Unisphere, pictured here. The theme of the World's Fair was "Peace Through Understanding" and the Unisphere represented the theme of global interdependence. It was dedicated to "Man's Achievements on a Shrinking Globe in an Expanding Universe". That was 1964, and it’s felt lately that the powers that be shun global interdependence. The idea of world peace is a joke, and collective understanding wanes. But I took in global art this week I’ll never forget. Ukrainian, Palestinian, and Columbian performers—artists born from upheaval and uncertainty—joyfully played American stages (some for the first time), and reminded me how much we depend on each other, how art brings people together, and how we’re more alike than different.
