Lori Gordon

Lori Gordon is a cross-disciplinary artist and curator, enjoying life under the Californian sun. She spends lots of her time thinking about art and a little bit of time making it. She is married to her husband Max, who loves to cook her delicious meals, which she considers gastronimic feasts. They live happily in San Francisco with their son Noah and cats Lucy and Calle.

Lori's art practice keeps her sane, and enables her to make something out of nothing. With all her work, she is more interested in the journey than the destination. She attempts to choreograph intimacy, and finds people to be fascinating. With all of her projects there is a strong desire to communicate with other people and to translate that process into something else: objects, performative acts, documentation of public interactions.

She loves talking at length to people in person, but hates having to do so over the phone. She enjoys watching films at least twice a week, and reading as often as possible, even though she does it very slowly. Lori often dreams in color, and talks in her sleep. She's particular about wearing her socks inside out, and will often change outfits during the day. She likes to eat tofu, almonds, dates, Indian food and nectarines. Her favorite drink is currently pomegranate Fizzy Lizzy, and her favorite desert is currently milkybar.

This blog functions as a journal about Lori's life, and should be used as a springboard for understanding her better. You can also view lots of her art projects here. She also loves doing correspondance projects through email and postal letters, so check out her contact page.
