David Ireland passed away

leave a comment »

Artist David Ireland passed away last week. When I was a graduate student he was a visiting artist and I took his class – an eye opener.  On the last day he took us on a “conceptual business martini lunch” at the Hyatt Regency Club Lounge. And he gave us each one of these little signed pieces. We actually had to do the yell:
I’m so glad to read that a patron is working on preserving his Capp Street house – an amazing sculptural wonder that had a huge influence on any of us who saw those excavated walls and all those beautiful funky objects.
