thursday evening- I saw the documentary about the beginning of the Ferus Gallery and 
modern art late 1950s, early 1960s- here lies the record of my notes and thoughts
-artists and work - ben bartosh/john altoon/ed moses, 'vreeland'
-abstract expressionism to assemblage 
'venice beach was the place to go to and vanish or create new worlds'
'you don't want people to know you are hungry'
-roy lichtenstein, 'white cloud', in personal collection of irving blum
-light, plastic and colour work - candy apple paint jobs, custom car culture, reflection of surface, 
light on colour
-art primarily made in the mind and language as a visual experience (ed ruscha)
'art offers the possibility of love with strangers' -wallace hopps
-cal arts, the last plastic show
-centre pompidou, 2005/06?, LA art show
