These are dry times. Summer slips away faster than you can catch it – a dime down the drain. The sky hangs damp and icy today. Across the globe, powerful little men toy with the world’s future like it’s a game of chicken. Hurricanes have ravaged large parts of our earth. Families will suffer the effects for years to come. Terrorists won’t let London sleep.
This planet can get so ugly. So broken. So disordered. So many of our mirrors are shattered.
There is order in beauty. A divine order, I believe, but whatever your theology you can feel it. The affirmation of disparate parts falling into place.
Jennifer Berkenbosch’s Cultivar matters because the world needs beauty today. We need to be reminded that there is goodness. There is a solid bed beneath this wild river.
There are plenty of fresh ideas at the Bleeding Heart Art Space these days. Lots of vision. New faces looking through the windows and coming inside. New programs and proposals with several directions we could head.
All of this is exciting, but add it to the new ideas at Bleeding Heart and it can be overwhelming without some unifying purpose.
Thankfully, we have that purpose.

What is the best art space you have ever visited? Why do you love it so much?
Is it the building itself, with architecture that gives the work inside a run for its money, like our own AGA?
Is it the work inside, like at New York's MoMA, where you can view a Warhol, a Picasso and Van Gogh's Starry Night in the same permanent collection?
At the end of this week I am off to Europe. I'll have a chance to visit Munich, Berlin and Paris. I will indeed by visiting the Louvre to pay homage to the little Mona Lisa.
Oh, and when I get back we'll be working on creating our own little art space. So I've got art space on the brain this morning.
