Field Cashiers is the new black

Dear Cade,

As you turn 3 this week, I’m reminded of how much you’ve changed since last year’s letter to you. You’re taller, stronger and string sentences together that generally get your point across even if they sometimes include a few mangled or made-up words. You could be president someday.

A high percentage of those sentences end with question marks. You are the living embodiment of the title of that Sherwood Anderson short story, “I Want to Know Why.”

That can be challenging for a grandfather because your constant questions remind me of how quickly I run out of answers. At times I’ve almost resorted to that desperate reply, “Why not?”

I haven’t seen a lot of that “Terrible Twos” stuff in you, but you’re more independent than you were a year ago. More assertive. More opinionated.

For example, you’re philosophically opposed to the drink orders scribbled on Starbucks cups by the cashier so the barista knows what to make.

“Bob-bob, why she do that?” you ask.

“So the person making the drinks will know to make me a hot chocolate, extra hot,” I say.

“Why?”

“So I won’t get coffee or warm chocolate.”

“Why?”

“That’s just the way it is.”

“I don’t like that.”

What you do like is garbage trucks, those giant ducks around town (especially Ocean Duck at the Oakway Center) and any kind of heavy machinery that digs, pushes, scoops, grades, hauls or packs down dirt.

Many of our Tuesday morning dates this past year involved watching such machinery. We watched a bulldozer push dirt around for 13 solid minutes at the new Walgreens on Coburg Road.

“OK, Cade-O, let’s go,” I finally said.

“No, Bob-bob.”

“We have to get going, Cade.”

“Few more minutes,” you said, which is CadeSpeak for “I am entrenched here for eternity, pal. Live with it.”

Oh, MEDIUM dvd but what times we’ve had. Who …continue reading

Finding his calling
Artist makes discarded cellphones the medium

Forget oils and pastels, marble and cast iron. Artist Rob Pettit works in Sanyo, Nokia, and Motorola.Pettit, 26, has spent the last few months obsessed with making art out of discarded cellphones. Working six or seven days a week, the Allston resident has turned thousands of obsolete phones into meticulously arranged sculptures that will go on display this evening in an exhibition at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts.One might suspect that he’s mocking people’s obsession with the ubiquitous devices, but that’s not the case.”I don’t mind cellphones. I’m not speaking out against them,” Pettit said while he Velcroed phones to the gallery wall last week. “It’s just that we come from a time when there were none of them . . . to a point where the majority of people I see walking by themselves in the street are passing time by having conversations on cellphones. It’s just interesting to see what an explosion of products [this is], and realizing that every time you get one, it’s on the verge of being replaced by another.”People often exclaim, “That’s a ton of cellphones you have!” Pettit said. “And it’s really just a sliver of the total amount that aren’t being used. There’s an estimated half a billion cellphones just sitting in people’s desk drawers.”Artists have used mass-produced and other “found” objects for nearly a century, from Duchamp’s “readymades” featuring a bicycle wheel or urinal to Rauschenberg’s “combines” incorporating such items as a bed quilt. Pettit has his own approach.An Albany native, Pettit graduated from the SMFA last year and tracked down studio space, planning to use his savings to finance a few months of immersive work that might kick-start a career. He was already focused on cellphones.”I was trying to figure out an Airline Miles Credit Cards object that was highly diverse that …continue reading
