Maybe art, maybe some art, maybe this art, maybe some of this art, serves turning the absence opaque, that is, making it at once palpable and impenetrable, so we cannot go back, so we are stuck in the appreciation of this strange, utopic now , and any attempt to overcome it, to look for the actual empty space, meets the opacity of an object, an image, a substitute, substitute not of a reality, but of what ceased to be, of the void that hence remains beyond us, happily or unhappily, hard to say, replaced by the fundamentally meager and helplessly sublime moment of a hesitant, aesthetic, experience, too private to be credible, too credible to be intimate, and yet ours, because we want it to be, because we claim it as such, because we know we inherited it from the silence that came before. The picture – entitled (…) – is by Marek Wykowski

The image of Latin America functioned for nineteenth-century North Americans much as that of the Middle East did for certain Europeans: as a screen on which to project their fantasies. In the case of the Western hemisphere, these were largely of a pre-lapsarian past. Roxana Pérez-Méndez has consistently explored the place of Puerto Rico within U.S. culture, and with her project, Este Es Mi Pais ( This is My Homeland) at the Morris Gallery at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (PAFA, up through Sept.

Queer Voice at ICA is a clear sign of how comfortable we’ve become with people, places and things that are queer, a word primarily defined by Merriam-Webster as characterizing things that are “differing in some odd way from what is usual or normal,” but which has come to have a second meaning encompassing nearly everything and everyone deviating from gender and sexual norms. Kalup Linzy, from Conversations wit de Churen The show provides both a healthy dose of both genderqueer and queer in the Merchant-Ivory “How odd!” sense. With more than three hours of rollicking, weird, obscure, hectoring and seductive video and audio material, the show’s a sushi sampler with a cupcake chaser

What with all the hubbub over Flash these days, it’s nice to see an artist utilize the program as a means throughout the process of animating, not using it as a crutch. Animator and filmmaker Nick Cross gives us a detailed account of his process when he animates in Flash, including video. It’s a fascinating look into how Nick works as well as how he’s able to use Flash without making it look like it was done in Flash

Post by Katrina Kuntz “The Rules for Staying Young ,” the current exhibition at the New Wilmington Art Association of works inspired by the game of baseball, vacillates between form and expressive content. Some artists are drawn to baseball as a formal system which quantifies balls, strikes, fouls, hits, etc.; for them, the play of the game and its statistics serve as metaphors for greater degrees of formal order and structure.

While the original hardcover edition was limited to 1,000 copies, I just snagged a copy of a the more affordable and just as useful paperback edition of Pentagram Marks . The book comprises four hundred logo marks from nearly four decades of branding from the Pentagram design company. It’s a great look at a single company’s design output, even if it isn’t the best logo source book out there because of some of its datedness.

The recent oil spill has stripped open the hearts of business firms which keep boasting of their corporate social responsibilities etc. but, when it comes to taking the hard decision, the operations far outweigh ethics and moral guidelines. When blobs of tar are washing up on Sandy beaches of Alabama, only few scientists and researchers from BP and the like’s labs are putting their efforts to find short term and permanent solutions.

Illustration: Bruno Paul rug design 1910 The German designer Bruno Paul is often thought of as one of the architects of the Modern movement that dominated the twentieth century. His ideas concerning minimal decoration and the functional qualities of design were early factors that spelt out the subsequent Modernist career of Paul in both interiors and architecture. Paul was a founder member of both the Vereinigte Werkstatten fur Kunst im Handwerk and the Deutscher Werkbund, two organizations that, although still routed in ideas spanning both the Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau movements of the very early years of the twentieth century, were also fundamental in pushing forward radical ideas concerning decoration and ornament and its use, purpose and function in modern design.

Illustration: Joyce Clissold Wire Netting printed textile design 1934 The textile design work of the British designer Joyce Clissold could be seen as championing the role of art textiles. It was certainly well within the parameters of the British Arts & Crafts movement despite the fact that Clissold produced much of her textile design work well after the main phase of the movement and long past its influential heyday. Clissold produced hand block printed textiles

Illustration: Indian Ornament from Owen Jones The Grammar of Ornament 1856 Within Owen Jones 1856 book The Grammar of Ornament there are two distinct chapters dealing with the ornament of the sub-continent. Indian and Hindoo ornament are two chapters that deal with the same geographical area. The Hindoo chapter deals with what could be classed as largely native or indigenous decoration within India, even though this chapter contained colour plates that highlighted Burmese as well as Indian decoration
