Gah bsky needs edit capability as I had a complete block on PERLA KRAUZE’s name and kept writing Paula or Krause or both and I can’t tell you how many times I had to delete and re-do this 🧵. Gah, Daniela!!!

Stone workshops in Puebla Mexico feature stones that other stones are cut upon, they bear the markings of the blades used in cutting & PERLA KRAUZE uses these in many of her artworks. Quite stunning to me. #AbstractArt

Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.

Finally here’s some fotos of CONSUELO JIMÉNEZ UNDERWOOD the artist behind the art! #AbstrsctArtist #Chicana

The artist gazes out at the viewe, her dark hair parted in the middle and falling to bear her shoulders. She wears large glasses and a huipil in golden yellow & dark & light purple, that looks like it might be Amuzgo, woven in a backstrap loom.

The artist at a bit of an angle, seated, looks at the viewer. In front of of her is a piece of art and behind her hangs another.

Food - as ever - is as central to Mexican/Mexican-American culture one one side of the border as the other. And there are certain foods - like nopal & tortillas that are even more powerful touchstones & symbols, as in these works by CONSUELO JIMENEZ UNDERWOOD. #AbstractArtist

Finally some portraits of GABRIEL OROZCO himself

The artist seems mid-sentence, lips parted and seeing to make eye contact with someone off the the left.

Gabriel Orozco stands in a gallery, wearing all black save some snake/skin looking light colored shoes. Gazes at the viewe with eyes and face creased in a smile.

In this painting GABRIEL OROZCO, left nothing to chance. oh no, wait, in fact almost *everything* WAS left to chance. Painting was a significant departure for Orozco as it is art that is about itself & not in relationship to daily life. A game of chance determined color, placement, aspect of circle.

Ephemerality, chance, nature, construction, found, self, objects and human relationships… like a lot of abstract & conceptual art, GABRIEL OROZCO asks us to think and feel and challenge the ideas of limits between art and everyday objects #AbstractArtist
