I’ve heard great things about Ben Jurgenson’s show at the Meat Market in D.C. Although I couldn’t make it to the opening, I was still around the Corcoran when Ben was constructing a lot of these sculptures and his process is amazing. He was an excellent lab tech in the sculpture department and really helped me while I was auditing a class after graduation with tips and tools that made my ticky-tacky houses piece a hell of a lot easier. Ben is truly a wunderkind, and is one of the best artists coming out of the Corcoran this year. You want to buy in to an artist before they make it, get yourself down to the Meat Market and scope up a great investment, as well as a really cool piece of art!

So does Lacan’s mirror stage apply to a whole city?

I’ve never really cared for the comic hero Superman – Man of Steel – isn’t that what Stalin’s name meant too? Humans are known for our adaptability, when we test our metaphorical metal we find that it bends in certain degrees despite how we may have predicted. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to find that our inner steel, after all is said and done, turned out to look as beautiful as the one in this image?

Here the Sherman Crew are controlling the burn out of the vessels that will be the receptacles  to be cast in bronze.

Another shot from the action over at the Sherman Art Center.

Today I chose to skip my weekly meshugah assistantship meeting in order to actually have a learning experience. The crew over at the Sherman Art Center  were conducting a Bronze pour with a sand casting. I’ve read about it, heard about it, seen images of it, but it is truly cool to see it actually done.
