Posted • Last night’s rising protests as a police station is burned to the ground. The president called the protesters “thugs” and threatened to have them shot. Trump also warned Minneapolis’s “radical left” mayor: “Bring the City under control, or I will send in the National Guard & get the job done right”

Posted • 🔈👁Check out Sean Landers’ 'Dancing with Death' on the link in bio, included in RHIZOME 7/7 | MOVING IMAGES
To mark the final node of the Rhizome Series, Capitain Petzel presents a selection of video works by several artists from the gallery program. —
On view:
SEAN LANDERS’ work spans a wide breadth of subjects, most coming from his own personal experience and stream of consciousness to ultimately raise existential themes and truths about contemporary society and humanity. He is known for using his experiences as public subject matter and for employing different styles and media in a performative manner. In both his paintings and his films, Landers uncovers the process of artistic creation through humor and confession, gravity and pathos. In his contribution to the final node of the Rhizome, Dancing with Death, Landers dances to the rhythm of The Seventh Seal by Scott Walker to represent the endeavor of artists to leave behind something meaningful of themselves long after they are gone: all artists are dancing with death when they are alive. Though the film has at its core this deep signification, it remains refreshingly comical much like the further 20 plus films he produced from his studio in the 90s. —

Delicious ! In the kitchen with Jorge Pardo.


・・・
Jorge Pardo with the help of his daughter Penelope walks us through cooking his rendition of “Tongue with Polenta and Zucchini Squash” from his home in Merida, Mexico.
Recipe:
one tongue... one onion...
two tablespoons of fish sauce....
one can of sardines...
two bottles of cheap white wine...
6 cloves of garlic...
one tablespoon of fermented Korean chili paste...
a little bit of chili in powder...
teaspoon of oregano...
teaspoon of cumin...
salt and pepper to taste.... sauté all ingredients except tongue and wine in a pressure cooker until it’s smells great... add tongue and brown...
add wine to cover tongue 1/2 inch...
turn pressure cooker on... total cooking time is around 1-1/2 hour but you should open and check after 45 mins... add more wine if it needs to finish cooking for 30-45 mins…

once tongue is cooked, take tongue out peel creepy skin off and cut into desired chunks ... should be very soft and yummy…..
take liquid out of the pressure cooker and strain.
then put the liquid in a sauce pan and reduce.
then add tongue until it starts to caramelize a bit and serve over polenta…

polenta is simple to cook. it should take about 1/2 hour in total
the ratio is 4-5 cups of water to 1 cup of polenta…
bring water to a boil in a medium-size heavy sauce pan.
pour cornmeal slowly into the water, stirring with a wire whisk or wooden spoon.
continue stirring until creamy and soft add parmesan and butter to taste... and voila, try it out!
