I recently read an article about, and an essay by, the artist Jimmie Durham in the current issue of ARTFORUM. I really liked what he had to say about his work, mostly sculptures that involve rocks and boulders and their interactions and existence within our world. Here he explains a recent piece called The Dangers of Petrification, which “pretends to be a scientific collection” of petrified objects that remind us of other objects.

“Walking along, I pick up a stone: ‘This looks like a potato,’ I say. Over years of walking around Europe, I have found a petrified slice of an apple, petrified pecorino, petrified pumpernickel, petrified cake, and various kinds of candy, among other curiosities.”

Here are some images I found on the internet of some of his larger works:

I love this Little Kitties music video for New Numbers.

As Election Day creeps closer and closer, and we prepare to vote for the next president of the United States (Barack Obama), we’d like to share a few projects and articles popping up on the internet that are mobilizing voters, shedding light on important but under reported information, and making the case for an important change for all future elections.

First up is Plus One, a project initiated by Open that asks everyone to encourage at least one friend, family member or stranger to get out to vote for Barack Obama on Tuesday.

Next is Behind the Candidates, a website designed, developed and researched by Lindsay Ballant and Ian Boyle that shares information on the people Barack Obama and John McCain have behind the scenes of their campaigns now and who they would have on as advisers once either of them win the office of the president.

And last is an Op-Ed by Steve Israel and Norman J. Ornstein from last Friday’s New York Times that explains the history behind why we vote on tuesdays and makes the case for moving Election Day to the weekend.
