Great to be able to see the recitals remotely and be able to share them with others!

Brian,

I love the way you write, but more than that I love the way you
think.

Thank you for another thoughtful post

Thank you for the wonderful article. It’s a great way to begin to get to know who will carry on the great Idyllwild Arts tradition and what he will bring to the party!

If I counted correctly, you need six copies of the Becher’s “Typologies,” in order to be a truly happy bibliographer.

While I love Becket’s credo, I love more John’s: “Take something. Do something to it. Do something else to it. Do something else to it. Ditto, ditto, ditto,” which according to Kirk Varnedo, proposes “an open-ended tinkering and a faith in simply going at it, without a fixed vision of where one is headed. . . you get into it and then you figure out where you’re going.”

Something I tell my kids is that there is only one way to ensure that you will not get an opportunity that you desire, and that is to not apply for the opportunity.

Congratulations on your directorship. I am so proud of you! Bless the goddesses of education and their hard-working sisters, perserverance and justice. You are reaping the recognition you so richly deserve…and where better than in the arts? I am so happy for you. The Krone Museum is fortunate to have your energy harnessed in a leadership rôle in that fine institution. You rock, girl!

Doug,

It’s true across the other arts as well; you’ve got to have tonal range in black-and-white photography or it simply looks monotonous. Howard puts on plays that combine humor and drama or tragedy; David and Rob both work with the tension between hard and smooth, natural and man-made in their sculpture. (Or at least, they used to.) In my own photography, I’m enjoying the combination of blues against warm colors.

I think it’s about two things: tension, and complexity. Our students, as teenagers, often get fixated on one aspect of the piece and neglect the other parts. It’s part of our job to remind them that it’s not just about the loud and fast parts, but also about the slow and quiet parts that give counterpoint. As listeners or viewers, we’re looking both for a richness of experience and also resolution.

Hope everyone is doing well at Idyllwild,
Mark.

Nice to see how you’re weaving teachable moments into a fabric that could easily be blown out into a conversations of fame. Fun to be reminded of all the good ideas and good times spent at IAA.
