Billie’s Consumerism Blues

Consumerism’s got the best of me in spite of my fighting so hard to maintain the good thinks in life. I keep fighting a losing battle. I want to believe the best things in life are free but I get stopped in my tracks.

 

Buy buy buy they implore, while I have nothing left to buy with except very extended credit debts. I’m outta cash supply, debts mount easily. Buy, buy, buy, come read poetry. Buy a glass of wine. You can’t sit there and read for free. You’ve got to pay your dues…

Women's Caucus for the Arts Exhibit Opening Today!

Hello Everyone, listed below is an art opening-TODAY-at Boricua College...not much notice, however I have, after many decades found that last minute often works as well as the appropriate "due notice". I have one piece in this exhibit (see image below). I submitted two, and interestingly enough, although both were accepted, one was "censored" by the college. I am posting the one accepted. Censorship is a form of secrecy by the powers that be.

Acquisita un'opera di Andrea Benetti nella Collezione del Ministero di Giustizia argentino

Il 22 marzo 2013, presso l'Ambasciata argentina a Roma, si è svolta la cerimonia di acquisizione, da parte dello Stato argentino, dell'opera di Andrea Benetti, intitolata “Matite spezzate”. Il chiaro riferimento del titolo lascia intendere che l'opera tratta il tema del regime militare che si instaurò in Argentina dal 1976 al 1983, guidato dal gen. Videla. Duranti gli anni della dittatura vi furono circa 30.000 Desaparecidos, persone che sparivano nel nulla, ma che in realtà…

HARRIET SOBIE GOLDSTEIN, "AGAINST VIOLENCE"

All the violent people

With toys of fire,

Permitted to destroy,

to maim,

to hurt,

the innocent.

 

On a street corner,

In front of a home,

In a movie theater,

In a school.

One child kills another; its in the news.…

THE TEA OF FORGETFULNESS

                   Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, 

                              Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, 

                               Raze out the written troubles of the brain 

                   And with some sweet oblivious antidote …

estudio atelier galería

 Como veis el " taller " continua un año mas, no en el sitio de la playa, ahora estamos en la cresta de la montaña, ya que al nuevo alcalde le molesta la Cultura y todo aquello que sea " gratuito ", en los momentos que vivimos de crisis económica el estado debería patrocinar y no " censurar ", pero hay dineros para un combate de boxeo, parecería ser que ( alcalde ) se estuviera preparando para recibir una gran paliza y ver como corre la sangre de los actores del ring, es de esperar, ni…

Finally - you no longer have to schlep all the way downtown for a life drawing class.

Great drawing requires not only practice, focus, and hand-eye coordination, but the same sort of physical self awareness as playing the violin, or shooting baskets.   ----Take your drawing to the next level.

“Bluey,” Inwood Icon, Laid to Rest at Age 31

“Bluey,” a 1982 Honda Civic, will be laid to rest on July 31, 2012, following a ceremony in upper Manhattan, NY. Bluey—so named by the young son of Mr. Ettling’s downstairs neighbors—was lovingly owned and driven for 30 years by Harry Ettling, a jazz musician and long-time Inwood resident.

‘Born’ in the fall of 1981, Bluey was purchased new by Mr. Ettling’s girlfriend at the time, Ms. Lucy Smith, originally of…
