Last Saturday I went to a friend’s house… I mean art installation. I was at an art installation and I had to keep reminding myself I was at an art installation. There was food in the fridge, slippers by the EZ chair, and a bug zapper on the back porch, but this was not a house. This was the Great Divide inside the SCA gallery in Pomona. The Great Divide, organized by Orange County artists Daniel Zarcharczuk, Corey Granados, Ricky Yarnall, Nicole Sloan, Kelly Rice,...

For the two years I have lived in Fullerton I have meant to visit the Muckenthaler Cultural Center; it is local, it is affordable and it supports the arts. Unfortunately, I never kept it on my radar-that is to say I never made an effort to learn about the new exhibits and attend regularly. The few exhibitions I did hear about, frankly, did not interest me. Based on this small sampling of shows I never attended I unfairly, and subconsciously concluded the Muckenthaler was for old people and made less of an...

Thank you ISM and the Hibbleton Gallery for organizing the Polaroid Party in Fullerton last Friday. To further celebrate this twentieth century icon I offer my brief list of obvious reasons why Polaroid instant film is so cool: the process of watching the picture develop is an experience, it comes with a white frame and a blank label, you can embed your thumbprint in it, it works like magic, every picture looks retro and old, the sound, one size fits all, and of course...
Beginning in third grade I attended school in the Inland Empire, east of Orange County. There, the trucks are big, the weather is hot, and the air is dirty. In fact, the air gets so dirty some days kids are not allowed to play outside; recess and physical education are relocated to gyms and multi-purpose rooms. I cannot say I was ever disappointed about missing P.E. in junior high school, but the idea of needing protection from the air outside makes me sad. After two...
