iPhone Focus
Yesterday I played supermodel. The amazing Emile Elizabeth (emilieelizabeth.com) shoot me and I did my best impression of 'American's Top Model' episode 1. It was a super fun afternoon and I look forward to seeing the results. After 'work' I met up with producer extraordinaire Chris Holmes (www.myspace.com/chrisholmesmusic) to lay down vocals for his Science and Industry project. My good friend actress Julie Mond and I rapped like proper Go-Gos. Photos and music coming soon. Bellow are some iPhone images from yesterday. Focus is whack, but you'll get the picture.

MOCA PRESENTS MAJOR SURVEY OF WORKS BY PIONEERING ARTIST LOUISE BOURGEOIS
October 26, 2008–January 25, 2009
MOCA Grand Avenue
The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA), presents the first major travelling survey of the work of pioneering artist Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911) in more than two decades.
Louise Bourgeois is an opportunity to discover the artist’s most important works and explore the core themes that unite them across media. Bourgeois has said that her childhood, which was rich with both craft and symbolism, is the source all of her artwork and its themes. Born to a family of weavers, Bourgeois spent her early years surrounded by fabrics and textiles, as she played an active role in her family’s business of repairing and restoring tapestries. Sewing needles signified restoration for Bourgeois, as she witnessed her mother’s constant efforts at conservation and repair; hence, a number of the artist’s large-scale sculptures take the form of needles, evoking both the psychological and physical symbolism of the device and its magic power. The spider, itself a weaver and repairer, is another highly charged figure that appears frequently in Bourgeois’s work. Other themes favored by Bourgeois include maternity, the couple, childhood, the body, sexuality, gender, and autobiography.
Born in Paris in 1911, Louise Bourgeois studied under a variety of artists during the 1930s, including the cubist painter and sculptor Fernand Léger. In 1938, she moved to New York, where she continues to live and work to this day. Bourgeois’s 1982 solo exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in New York was the museum’s first-ever retrospective of a female artist. Bourgeois has exhibited in numerous museums and galleries worldwide, and her work is in major public and private collections throughout the world.
“I am honored and thrilled to present this landmark showcase of Louise Bourgeois’s work at MOCA,” said MOCA Director and Bourgeois scholar Jeremy Strick. “Louise is an important artist who has created an enormous body of work that engages with most of the major international avant-garde artistic movements of the 20th century—from surrealism and primitivism to conceptual art and assemblage. And yet, she has always maintained her identity as an independent artist, positioned at the forefront of contemporary art practice, giving great inspiration to many others.”

A bunch of friends shot this over a weekend in Palm Springs. I enjoyed the experience so much (Especially money throwing. Yes those were real hundreds) that I had to relive it.
Enjoy.

Hello.
My name is Daisy O’Dell and this is my first serious attempt a blogging. I’d like to stress the word attempt since I have a colorful history of jumping head first into projects that ultimately end up at the bottom of to do lists or cluttering the back of my closet. My friends assure me that it is not really that hard to post a couple of things every few days to keep those interested in you perspective well… interested. Since I am an aural girl by nature, hence the career path, expect music posts and plenty of visual aids. I will ‘post’ but have every intention of trying to avoid the tediousness of crystallizing my convoluted thoughts into written words. I’ll leave that to the Leonard Cohen and Salman Rushdie’s of the world.
I love feedback and relish criticism almost as much as praise. Don’t hesitate to tell me how you really feel.
