Julia Child is that special kind of celebrity who is also a folk hero especially in New England where her no-nonsense approach to everything is particularly well-loved. So it's chuffing to learn that my great-uncle Jack (Chief of Surgery at Beth Isr
This NADA bullshit is deeply dumb and shortsighted. Production expenses? Artists only guaranteed 25%? And NADA taking its own cut off the top, this cutting into the artists' cut, when usually the fees to NADA would be paid by the galleries? And what
Happy 20th Anniversary Tate Modern! It still feels incredible that my very first exhibition out of grad school was my solo show in the Tanks, and that Tate then added my work to its collection! (Cough, cough, humble-brag.) But seriously, pinch me ag

Here’s an interview I did with the wonderful people @MountAuburnCemetery, in which I talk about having too many pencils as a child, among other things. https://mountauburn.org/five-questions-for-2020-2021-artist-in-residence-jesse-aron-green/
Today is my last day of the semester teaching adjunct at a local college. So I went online, as I do every week, to look for work. On a job board specific to college-level arts education, guess how many jobs were listed as seeking applicants? TWELVE
@JeannieSukGersen is like a spirit-level. Her clarion writing is not only precisely measured under the fault-finding light of the law, its true line is balanced on both logical analysis and real human feeling. And what better feeling to elucidate ri
Another cookbook that’s a portal to the past, authored by a Fisher? “How to Cook A Wolf,” by M. F. K. Fisher, which is just one of the 27 books she wrote, each of which attests to her place as an estimable prose stylists, not to men
Many of you seem to cooking a lot. (And so much of your food is alive with microorganisms that aren’t deadly: pickles, sourdough, &c.) Is it so you can feel safely full in this moment right now—the eternal present— that seems to

Filmmakers, Artists, Gear-heads! I'm planning a new video project, and I need guidance about what camera to use. Keeping in mind that crew will be bare bones, meaning me in my bare sleeves and that’s about it. Send me your opinions! What do y
I have been thinking about William Pope.L. This image is from his “Tompkins Square Crawl,” 1991, photographs of which are in the collection at the Modern. @themuseumofmodernart #performanceart
Can we talk for a minute about Episode 8 of @MakingTheCutTV? Instead of letting it be subtext, I wish the show made explicit that @Naomi Campbell may have been in Megan's corner because she's able to empathize with the particular challenges of being
Someone just asked me: where are you getting your news? Like my old prof John Stilgoe used to say, local papers and reporting are often a better reflection of what's going on in the country than much of the national media. So with that, here's a sob
As part of my residency @MountAuburnCemetery I've been doing a lot of reading about the history and design of parks, cemeteries, and other green spaces, especially ones in cities. Since no one can actually travel right now, looking at pictures has b
