Contemporary Art Month CAM will move from July to March, good thinking, let's get out of the heat.
I read a good bit of The Story of Art over spring break. Art History is the history of a civilization and how well it comes to depict itself. This simple fact seems to be lost on art education courses that require one to memorize the names and creators of art thereby boring everyone to death. What CAM needs is the integration of art and design to a profitable outcome. Just hanging a picture on the wall is not an outcome.
Robert Rivard Page 5B reports that in 2001 part of the River was weed choked. Now what eight years later, it is beyond what Mayor Peak back then imagined. Well I would hope!
What on earth does the street, parks dept at the City and County do all day long? What do all the volunteers in SA do? Eight years, we won WW II in four!
'The winding meander of the River is largely gone' Well how did THAT happen with the Sierra Club on the watch. If we can mow all the parks in SA you are telling me we cannot control the weeds on a stretch of meandering river? Gee how on earth did Mission San Jose ever get off the ground in 1550?
Now here is the best part, again I am not making this up
'Three years from now, a short time for public works projects, (now what was WW II but a public works project) nature will take over, bird life, butterflies, kayakers,
in short we will be back to 1550 when Mission San Jose got off the ground.
Good grief, these sorts of time lines are ridiculous IF the citizens really wanted this to happen.
How about the 15,000 Spurs fans (typical attendance at ONE game) gathering on the banks and clearing weeds for a few hours, I bet that would unchoke a few things….
Okay I feel like some sort of academic Lewis Black.. your comments?
