Art Talk at MOCA

A Little over a year ago I gave a talk at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles.
At the time BUS was on display as part of the exhibition Artists’ Gifts: Michael Asher.
I talked about my career and the role art and graphic design have played in my creative life.
At the bottom of this post you'll find 3 links - the first will connect you to the audio/webcast page at MOCA - the second two links connect directly to parts 1 & 2 of my talk.

I am also breathing a big sigh of relief after dodging last weeks big bullet.

Thank goodness we can see an end to the self-servative regime.

Here's a poem I wrote, last weekend, in the height of the election madness...

Dirty Politics
The Vulgar Truth

Mud slinging campaigns
for political gains
are slurs from the curs who conceive ’em.
The truth, come to pass,
is your head’s up their ass
as far as you’ll believe ‘em!

Those ads on the tube
prezoom you’re a boob
who’ll fall for these half-baked lies.
The truth, evermore
since eons of yore
crocks of shit will always draw flies.
