My New Hero


Anthony Lister

From an interview on Fecal Face:

F.F.: "Do you harbor any special feelings towards the pop culture references in your work or are they just figureheads for whatever statement you are trying to make at the given moment?"

Lister: "Yes"

Drawing Conclusions





Featuring works by the Fine Arts senior class at Moore College of Art & Design, Drawing Conclusions is an exhibition that explores the idea of drawing in an expanded context. Our First Friday reception is sure to please, so stop by the Society Hill Synagogue on December 4th between 5 and 7 pm and enjoy some delicious snacks and fabulous art - including a collaborative video installation (complete with tiny dogs wearing togas) by Chloe Muxart and yours truly.

The [Women's Art College] Bucket List

(Red Flag, by Judy Chicago)



In the 3.5 years I have been a student at the world's first and only women's art college, I have yet to

  • purchase an article of clothing printed with the school's logo.
  • cry in a critique.
  • start smoking cigarettes.
  • declare that "painting is dead."
  • dye my hair purple.
  • become a vegan.
  • become a lesbian.
  • make a painting about my period.
  • date a professor.
  • smoke pot in the studio.
  • smoke pot anywhere.
  • change my major.
  • purchase or use a moleskine notebook.
  • show up for class dressed as an anime character.
  • purchase 7 inch platform boots.
  • move to South Philly.
  • attend a political protest.
  • participate in a naked pillow fight.
  • make my own clothes.
  • paint my fingernails black.
  • purchase the complete works of Emily Dickinson.
  • find something gross in the cafeteria food.
  • watch an episode of Project Runway.
  • make an installation or sculpture involving my own hair.
  • knit.
  • develop 'an interest in community art.'
  • learn anything about writing.
  • paint/draw/photograph myself completely nude.
  • paint/draw/photograph my best friend completely nude.
I have until May to do all of these things. Anyone want in?
