ALPHA OMEGA ARTS

| Dan Flavin, Untitled (For Ksenija), 1994. |
Dan Flavin, who died in 1966, took an everyday fluorescent light and made it extraordinary. Using tubes of varying lengths and colors, he created sculptures that don't just hang there. They fill spaces with a spiritual glow. That’s how we felt about so many everyday things this week: Aretha Franklin’s passing; a spicy new dish; meeting Angelina Ballerina and
Kolongi Brathwaite; Kasey tuning 5; Greg’s mom turning 81; and the return of the homophobic
cake baker. The week reminded us to look beyond the decorative to witness the mystery. Flavin said he never intended to make a spiritual connection, but it happened, and that’s why Dan Flavin's "Untitled (for Ksenija)" is our
news of the week.
