Favourites: The Albright Knox
Working on a story about the effort sparked by David Liss and Gregory Burke to bring a bonafide Toronto Biennial to fruition , I took the opportunity to drive down to Buffalo to visit the Albright Knox , which, it so happens, is the force beyond Western New York's own biennial event, ” Beyond/In WNY ,” which opens in September. It's comprised of about 30% Toronto artists, but nevermind that for the moment; part and parcel of my meeting with the Albright's director Louis Grachos and Hallwalls director John Massier was a lovely tour of the Albright

Post by Marianne Bernstein In his book The Empathic Civilization , economist Jeremy Rifkin, investigates the evolution of empathy. Recent scientific studies suggest that we are wired for collaboration. Our natural impulse is to get along with our native kin; which over time have evolved from our fellow cave men, to our state, country, or religion, to the planet at large.

ComicCrazys was forced to take down the Charles Schulz cartoons I linked to the other day, but here’s another treat: some Looney Tunes background paintings . It’s a small selection, but includes some great examples, including a few from Maurice Noble , who I think was the finest of all of the Warner Brothers background artists, and defined the look of Chuck Jones’s cartoons almost as much as Chuck Jones himself. Another great source for Looney Tunes background paintings is the aptly-named Animation Backgrounds blog.

Unless you’ve visited the Musée Marmottan , Paris, or are old enough and fortunate to have seen the exhibition drawn from its collections many decades ago at the Met, get yourself to Gagosian Gallery by June 26 to see Claude Monet Late work . That is, go if you love painting

One of the things that drives me a little nuts about Contact is its tendency to overshadow the fact that there is, in fact, art to be seen all over the city that has nothing to do with the festival. That doesn't mean I don't go see it; it just means it takes me a while to get around to writing about it, which was the case with Dave Dyment's now-closed show at MKG127, 'Between the Click of the Light and the Start of the Dream.” For those who know him, Dyment's clever, playful, pop-culture inflected conceptualism can be like Marshall McLuhan's proverbial warm bath — an art experience that challenges the mind while warming that place in the heart where unbridled teen angst, buried under years of cynicism, still lives in full force. Dyment's favourite tropes, like popular music, were fully evident here, in several pieces that embraced
Roxana Pérez-Méndez: Your Fantasy is My HomeThe 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.

No painting today, just a little doodle made inside the main church in Nijmegen, the Stevencurch. This isn’t such a high church, and yet you can see it from all the way of Arnhem, that’s because it stands very high, … and ancient one as well.

Sometimes you have a painting in your mind and it just paint itself. Although it was a bit of a struggle to keep the background as fuzzy as possible, but over all I like this one. It’s such a old railroad bridge.

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
