July has typically been when ChimMaya presents our annual Frida exhibition. In planning our calendar….we decided that this year we wanted to do something different and potentially more interesting.
ChimMaya, in collaboration with Andy Gonzalez (San Diego curator) has assembled 19 San Diego and Baja artists…to participate in Frida 2009.
Frida 2009….will be the first exhibition to open in our new ‘West Gallery’ space.

there's a lot of Frida all over tumblr, but shockingly, no one seems to have started an all-Frida tumblr... so i did.
i'm often reblogging with text from frida fans or people who blogged something of frida because they are inspired by her. i decided to do this, to leave other people's words and thoughts and even rambling, perhaps seemingly barely related, posts because i think it speaks to how we each interpret frida. i find it very interesting to see how someone else connects with frida, and i hope viewers of this blog might find it interesting as well.
i also apologize in advance for any repetitiveness. in an effort to find "new" things to post, i hope viewers can understand that i may forget what i posted at another time and repost it again. to my mind, it's all about frida anyway and i learn something new with each view, so i hope others can view this blog in that same spirit or overlook my own frida-love neurosis.
