dropping off clothing at the salvation army
there is a sign up that says;
‘proper attire required.’
not sure what that would be
people are either there
to donate clothes for people who need clothes
or
they need clothes and are there to pick them up
what is the proper attire for either circumstance?

Heathrow Airport launches live music stage
Heathrow Airport has launched a live music stage to give up-and-coming acts the chance to impress industry executives flying into London for the festival season.
Based in Terminal 5, the first show featured performances from acoustic rock band China Bears, folk singer-songwriter The Halfway Kid and R’n’B artist Olivia Nelson.
Heathrow said those performing on the stage have “access to an audience bigger than Glastonbury”, as it expects 30 million passengers to travel through its terminals this summer. The airport recently had its busiest day in its history, with 264,000 passengers – up 6% on last year.
“The Heathrow Introducing stage isn’t just about providing entertainment, it’s about propelling careers to new heights,” said Karoline Komolafe, of music events company Sofar Sounds, which has partnered with Heathrow.
“It’s a game-changer for those aiming to break into the industry, especially with festival season at its peak, offering exposure to execs traveling through. “I think Heathrow passengers are going to have a brilliant time at the gigs.”Heathrow director of services Tonia Fielding said: “We’re proud that we’re providing people from around the globe the chance to experience the best of Britain’s emerging musical talent and a taste of UK culture from the moment they reach the airport.
“We’re gearing up for the busiest summer on record, meaning we can give artists on the Heathrow Introducing stage massive audiences to play to.” Two more shows on the music stage will be held, on 12 and 24 July.

tea haus
calm, pretty, peaceful, lovely, sun and music streaming in
sat in soft chairs
for conversation and a tall chilled pink grapefruit green tea
all so refreshing on a very hot day
saw the note below up by the counter

‘As part of the Artist’s Choice exhibition series at the Museum of Modern Art, Muniz curated a show drawn from the Museum’s collection, and MoMA has recently added to the collection a key picture by Muniz, Action Photo, after Hans Namuth from Pictures of Chocolate, and we hope to continue our exploration and appreciation of this leading artist’s work.’ -MoMa
To make his work, Muniz renders familiar images drawn from pop culture and art history in a variety of materials, and then photographs them. He has fashioned the Mona Lisa from peanut butter and jelly, Elizabeth Taylor from diamonds, Caravaggio’s Narcissus from junk, iconic news images from wet ink, and his self-portrait from dice. Muniz has referred to himself as an “illusionist,” and, with characteristic humor and ingenuity, explores the nature of representation in an image-saturated world.
One of Muniz’s most well-known bodies of work is a series of pictures rendered in chocolate sauce. Action Photo, after Hans Namuth (1997) is made after a 1950 photograph taken by Hans Namuth of Jackson Pollock frozen in mid-dance as he was making one of his paintings, Autumn Rhythm. Muniz’s subsequent appropriation and translation of this image into chocolate is a perfect marriage of subject and material. The viscous chocolate syrup (incidentally, he used the brand Bosco) is a perfect stand-in for Pollock’s wet, shiny paint drips. This new acquisition not only strengthens the Museum’s Muniz holdings, but is a welcome complement to MoMA’s rich Pollock collection .
Vik Muniz is a Brazilian artist and photographer. His work has been met with both commercial success and critical acclaim, and has been exhibited worldwide. In 1998, he participated in the 24th International Biennale in São Paulo, and in 2001, he represented Brazil at the 49th Biennale in Venice, Italy. He currently works in New York City and Rio de Janerio.
while this is not me,
this is my exact style of painting with chocolate
while not quite as celebrated as vic’s
they are not as in demand
and have not yet been exhibited in public.

trying to learn to sleep in and sleep longer
always a lark, never an owl
for many years i went to sleep early and woke up early
want to see what my body will naturally do
accepting that i’ll always be a morning person
i’d like to compromise
be a ‘bit later in the morning’ person
last night/early this morning i was dreaming
about putting together a jigsaw puzzle
then i found a chunk of all white pieces still stuck together
so curious to see what would happen
and bam!
awake and it was early morning.
this may take a bit more practice.
