John Baldessari - LACMA



As I was finally downloading images from my cellphone I came upon a John Baldessari at LACMA pic that I love:
TIPS FOR ARTISTS WHO WANT TO SELL...

"I guess a lot of it's just lashing out, because I didn't know how to be an artist, and all this time spent alone in the dark in these studios and importing my culture and constant questions. I'd say, 'Well, why is this art? Why isn't that art?'" John Baldessari

Inspirations - Feed Your Head

Along with the informative posts on TED, another great source of inspiration is PopTech.

Their tag line is "We're a global community of innovators, working together to expand the edge of change".  Wikipedia states:  PopTech is a nonprofit open innovation laboratory and network of thought leaders who are dedicated to finding, incubating and accelerating ideas, people and projects that change the world. PopTech consists of a global community of cutting-edge leaders, thinkers, and doers from many different disciplines, who come together to explore the social impact of new technologies, the forces of change shaping the future, and new approaches to solving the world’s most significant challenges.”

Short, quick videos that inform and inspire.
