Art Marketing Action Podcast: Promote Your Art with SlideShare
The current show at Famous Accountants , a dimly lit, but glowing white basement gallery in a Bushwick home, is a disorienting mix of media and technology. The exhibition, Tunneling , is a 13-person group show which covers the theme of tunneling in both its physical/spatial associations and its psychological—“confining, degenerating, myopic” (press release). Jen Schwarting, “double dip (black)”.

I recently snagged a copy of Aaron Leighton’s Spirit City Toronto from Koyama Press . Inserting drawings of creatures into real-world photos may not be new (see: Monster’s in Real Places , Aaron Brady’s Magic Camera , and Avid Liongoren’s Project 365 ) but there’s something about Aaron’s simple geometric spirit creatures inserted into the seemingly mundane landscape of urban Toronto that really resonates with me

If you want to grow your business, or want to move your manufacturing or other parts of your company off shore to save money, then it’s likely you may encounter people who don’t work fluently in your language of origin. A translation service can help you reduce your over all costs in the long run by giving the people you are working with the right information from the start.

One of the most important yet difficult parts in the outsourcing process is finding a factory to manufacture your product. The first step is finding out what country specializes in the materials that you will need to make your product. Once you already identified the country, finalize your prototype and then manufacture your product

Illustration: Paul Burck. Herbst im Isarthal , c1899. The tapestry work produced by the German artist and designer Paul Burck during the last years of the nineteenth century are probably some of the most interesting examples of the new European art of that era

This morning, a reader sent me a link to a story in the Denver Post by its Fine Arts Critic discussing a show of young Canadian artists there. He seems dumbstruck that not only are there people actually making art in Canada — the shock! — but that — Good God! — it's contemporary, topical, technologically savvy, and relevant ! ( The show includes Toronto artist Alex McLeod (above) and Sobey nominee Brendan Tang.

"Yes, there is Canadian art." So says Denver. Yes: Denver.
Illustration: Stained Glass from Owen Jones The Grammar of Ornament , 1856 In Britain stained glass design and production saw a massive rise in both popularity and function in the nineteenth century. It was used extensively in both the domestic and ecclesiastical markets and although artistically it can be said that the twentieth century may well have seen the apex of stained glass design work as far as creativity is concerned, it is still the nineteenth century that saw the craft appealing almost universally, probably for the first time since the medieval period. Although Owen Jones does cover stained glass decorative work in his 1856 The Grammar of Ornament , it is very much tucked away within the larger Medieval Ornament chapter.

Illustration: Arpad Dekani Lace design c1908 Much of the early twentieth century revival of practical lace making, but more particularly that of designing lace within Hungary, can be attributed fairly squarely to Arpad Dekani. Professor Dekani, who started his career relatively humbly as a teacher at a provincial school in Hungary, eventually became a professor at the Arts and Crafts School in Budapest.

About that aforementioned rant: Of all the people to take umbrage with my litany of bellyaches in the paper today, Tim Jones, CEO of Artscape , was very upset with my characterization of his arm's-length city-associated agency as “tiny” (he didn't like “city agency” either). While it's completely true that, with the addition of the Wychwood Barns and the forthcoming Shaw/Givins School redux, Artscape's physical holdings are far from tiny in the literal sense, I was suggesting that, in the context of actually meeting the need of a perpetually migrant art community, Artscape, though it provides desperately-needed space buffered from the market, is barely a drop in the bucket when it comes to demand.
Strange + Wonderful = Mary Catherine Newcomb’s "Product of Eden"If you're passing through Kitchener, as I was on the weekend, you'd be silly not to stop off at the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery and see what's growing in the front garden.

Illustration: Anders Zorn. Dalecarlian Scene tapestry panel, 1909 Anders Zorn the Swedish fine art painter is probably better known outside of his native Sweden, as that of an accomplished and highly successful nineteenth and early twentieth century portrait painter. Zorn travelled widely in both Europe and North America and his portraits made him wealthy and acclaimed.

Jump to the full entry & travel map Lhasa, Tibet, China We were both up early due to the difficulty sleeping at altitude (we’re still at 3700m) and Adele’s blocked nose, so we sent a couple of hours getting our washing and drying done, before heading down to the lobby to meet Leon (the Chinese guide) to head into Barkhor Square and the Jokhang Temple. Out the front of the temple dozens of pilgrims prostrate themselves full length on the ground in prayer to Buddha, repeating their short ritual over and over. We made our way past them and into the tourist entrance of the temple, and proceeded to have a very rushed tour, led by Pemba (the Tibetan guide)
