The Beauty Hidden Within Blackboards at Quantum Physics Labs

Today, in an age of dry-erase whiteboards and write-on wall paint — an age that has produced surfaces and markers that allow writings to be undone with the ruthless efficiency of a single swipe — blackboards have taken on the wistfulness of the outmoded technology. And the semi-erased chalkboard, in particular — its darkness swirled with the detritus of unknown decisions and revisions — compounds the nostalgia. Its spectral insights mingle in the bright dust of calcium carbonate.

Alejandro Guijarro sees that blurry beauty better than most. Over the last three years, the Spanish artist has visited some of the world’s most prestigious blackboards: the ones housed at the quantum mechanics labs of places like the University of Oxford, UC Berkeley, Stanford, CERN, Cambridge, and the Instituto de Física Corpuscular. At each place, he used a large-format camera to capture the markings left on the boards, just as he found them.

Wow! Geek powered art…

…about music management

Music Management is not about how many people you know, or how many places you can get your band to play in, it’s more about rounding up every detail in a single sheet… legal stuff, accounting, sales, product placement, artistic issues, yes, and much, much more…

If you wan’t to call yourself an artist manager, be sure to know how to handle a company well.. it’s the exact same shit…

Lesson: Mexico lacks music managers big time, and it’s artists who run them off… real story…
