On Wednesday, October 26, I\u2019m giving a short talk for TEDx Los Gatos<\/a>. At this point all the seats for the event are taken, but eventually videos will be available and I\u2019ll post a link to them here. The idea behind TEDx events is that they are set up to resemble the official TED <\/a>talks, but any local group in the world can mount a TEDx, assuming they stick to certain guidelines.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a preview PDF file of my slides and text for my talk, \u201cTransreal In Los Gatos<\/a>.\u201d\u009d It\u2019s a large file, so when you click the link, it\u2019ll take up to a minute before you see the images onscreen. Note also that I\u2019m still revising the text, and in the end it\u2019ll come out different during live performance.<\/p>\n

Sylvia and I were in downtown San Jose this weekend, nice to get a taste of city without driving all the way to SF.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Downtown San Jose does tend to be a little deserted.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But they have a great patisserie called Bijan near the art museum.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The San Jose Art Museum is an interesting building, expanded out from an old stone Post Office.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And they\u2019re having a show <\/a>of paintings by Joan Brown (1938-1990). She hasn\u2019t had a big show around here since 1998, when there was a somewhat larger two-site show in Oakland and Berkeley. About the best book on Joan Brown <\/a>was based on that show.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The SJ show is definitely worth a visit. I like the transreal, narrative quality of Brown\u2019s later paintings, and how they go right down into the subconscious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
