John Steinbeck,\u00a0Grapes of Wrath<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n It all just is, folks. And that\u2019s OK. Don\u2019t worry too much about whether you\u2019re doing it right or wrong; you\u2019re doing it, and that\u2019s about all anyone can ask. Humans operate under the pretense that actions have qualities, but in the rest of the universe, things just are. Of course, it is important to do no harm to others, but what if you start thinking less about how you\u2019re doing and focus on living right in the moment?<\/p>\n Anthony Cudahy<\/a> joined us to talk about his concurrent exhibitions, Fool\u2019s errand<\/em><\/a>, on view at GRIMM Gallery, and Fool\u2019s gold<\/em><\/a> at Hales Gallery, both running until October 19. Cuhady says he thinks of painting as a self-appointed fool\u2019s errand, but goes on to say that it is important to have parts of our lives that don\u2019t have precise logic and reasoning. The Hale show, in the end, became about concepts of alchemy, and Cudahy used the titles to link both shows. To learn more about these shows, listen to the complete interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n Maja Ruznic<\/a> talked to us about two shows,\u00a0The World Doesn\u2019t End<\/em><\/a>, which was on view at KARMA in New York until August 23, and Mutter<\/em><\/a>, which is on view at Contemporary Fine Arts in Berlin, Germany until October 26. As an artist who doesn\u2019t work in series, per se, the art in these shows comes from the same place, so to speak. The title\u00a0The World Doesn\u2019t End<\/em> is based on the title of a book of poems by the late Serbian poet Charles Simic.
