terra non firma: I have the mondays

I have the mondays

busy busy but all good stuff - new clients, new projects, new apartment, etc. will try to write up in more detail two of the art/architecture related events I attended this weekend: the Not a Cornfield lecture on fri night (which in the words of one friend during our post-lecture de-brief on the project is "politically dubious" and I have to agree) and the basquiat show at moca (which again, I found ultimately disappointing, with the exception of the warhol collaborations). in the meantime, here's some monday media links, which I've only given a cursory read so caveat emptor:

is LA the next new orleans?
the always reliable csmonitor covers LA's struggles to save its murals.
the latimes features another article bemoaning the lack of use for our public transportation system.
and a daily dose of architecture posts a nice roundup of articles on the issue of plagiarism in architecture. I did manage to find the time to read witold's article. and bookmarked them all for perhaps future use - who knows.

back to work and packing.

update: matteo also wants me to post that's new york's gansevoort hotel is opening their LA outpost downtown, although I feel like I had read this already somewhere before, although maybe I'm confusing it with Miami.
