I’m Excited about My New Series

These aren’t my pieces… but they do ‘give away’ the new series I’m about to start painting. My creepers have ‘joined the carnival’ and they are part of the side show attractions

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

Tripping across the pond – No Soul for Sale at the Tate Modern

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.

Looney Tunes background paintings

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.

Blink, and I missed: Dave Dyment at MKG127

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 Home

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.
