An artist who stood by his philosophies first and foremost, and whose work somehow remains one of the strongest case studies we have about how creativity can be a tool against fascisim. Life changing to see in person, phone screens do not do them justice

dadaist hans arp once said āwhat arrogance is concealed in perfection? why struggle for purity in position when they can never be attained? the law of chance, which embraces all other laws and is as unfathomable as the depth from which all life arises can only be comprehended by a complete surrender to the unconscious.ā and heās right, some of the very best art iāve made has been by complete accident. my favorite thing to see when i look at a painting is the blending of paint into forms, no brush stroke is like the one before it, the paint combines into new shades that werenāt there previously, with each smear something new emerges. i love surprising uses of color where you wouldnāt expect them to be, you can imagine the idea springing forth to the artist while theyāre painting away on the canvas.. or maybe it was accidental? maybe they put blue where they meant to put green? a mistake? but now that itās blue, itās genius!
iād like to approach more than just art with this way or thinking. it would lead to a lot less disappointment and a lot more excitement. šŖ“Ā

ši feel like itās this constant debate but the thing is? thereās millions of artists/musicians/etc out there, so i find when you want to hold on so tightly to someone, youāre closing yourself off from other artists that could be similar or way cooler but not a terrible person
obviously thereās a distinction between a faux pas, mistakes before growth, or being deeply consistently horrible, but i absolutely think thatās a distinction worth makingā¦
we only have so much time on this earth, and our time to consume art and music and film and literature is fleeting, so iād rather spend it on the works of people who have earnestly made the world a more beautiful place and exploring art to find those !

A website with a collection of screengrabs from nearly every movie you could think of, and you can sort by film title, director, cinematographer, year, genre, country, etc. Great for visual references for lookbooks, or just to discover a new film you might be interested in seeing!
I've attached one of my favorite stills, a great moment from Chungking Express (Dir. Wong Kar-Wai, 1994).

Just going out and picking up any kind of used physical media (books, CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes) makes the archivist in me happy, like Iām preserving somebody elseās story/ enjoyment of something
My personal favorite thing is VHS tapes, Iāve got a decent collection (all thrifted) and theyāre usually the cheapest things offered
