Since the readings are so short -and decidedly less demanding academically than usual- this week (mostly because so little is written about this young artist, and even less is written in English), you can feel free to keep your blog posts shorter than usual.

But, make sure to edit your posts to avoid typos and grammatical mistakes.

And let's get an interesting discussion going!
