Why does Pres Bush made the word "Liberals" sound as dirty as "commies" during the 1950's.

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN.- A royal decree in Sweden established free entrance to all state museums and exhibitions from now on.

The decree is based in the goals approved by the Parliament that mention that the citizens have the right of culture regardless of their residence or social background. There is political unanimity in this decree. Any person, whether he is Swedish or foreigner, will have free access to the National Museum, the Modern Museum, the Museum of Architecture and all other state museums for free.

The government will support these museums to compensate the income generated by the admission fees. There are around 300 museums and art centers in Sweden, of which around 50 are managed by the state. There are also other municipal art galleries.

LITERARY WORKS OF FICTION & acceptance speech

JAN 20, 2005: George W. Bush took the oath of office before throngs of onlookers at the U.S. Capitol Thursday and began his second term as president with a bold pledge to seek peace and security by spreading freedom "to the darkest corners of the world."

REFER: "That All Peoples May Know Him"
By Karen Nadeau
"God entered time and space on the first Christmas, fulfilling His promise through Jesus Christ to bring the light of salvation to a world trapped in darkness and sin. Ever since that holy night, he has filled His followers with a passion for His purpose: to spread the light even to the darkest corners of the world."

2005-01-20

Acutally... I think Bush is the "999" guy here to fulfill some final prophecy.
He just needs one pissed off North Korean with a nuclear bomb to help it along.

" As time passes and man and his planet approach the end of an age, this approaching Light is progressively penetrating the densities of our world, irresistibly permeating even the grossest, darkest corners of the Earth. Moving from the inner planes outwards, the new Kingdom of Light dispels the shadows of this world. The radiance of the leading periphery of this divine sphere is presently only to be experienced within the upper regions of human awareness: some of the higher levels of being that inform and sustain this world and its humanity. Those whose focus is primarily upon the material plane and their own needs and problems do not possess the inner faculty required to perceive the growing presence of the new reality in its earlier stages of manifestation. It therefore remains invisible to the unaware, yet it is affecting all life on Earth.

For millennia visionaries and spiritually aware people have anticipated the arrival of this new and higher order"

FOREIGN OBJECTS: Dream Drawings
by David Reisman

Foreign Objects is a compilation of pen-and-ink drawings, executed in 1995 and 1996, from artist/writer David Reisman’s dream journals. Surreal, funny, and at times unsettling, Reisman's drawings feature friends and family, acquaintances, a variety of character types, and celebrities including Bob Dylan, Woody Allen, Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Jackson Pollock, and David Letterman. While Foreign Objects is a kind of unconscious autobiography, the book may be seen as an effort, as his brother Carl Reisman notes in his foreword, to “help us to build bridges, however rickety, between our secret selves and consciousness, and between our isolated selves and humanity.”

"Reading Foreign Objects is like visiting a Museum of Everyday Life that's been broken down into its quantum state and reassembled as a surrealist masterpiece! David Reisman's dream art is autobiography at its most auto-luminescent."
—Rick Veitch, Author/artist of Rabid Eye: The Dream Art of Rick Veitch

"When Goya etched 'The Dream of Reason Produces Monsters' he wasn't reading David Reisman's Foreign Objects. In this diary of dream moments, Reisman illustrates many hilariously absurd situations that will leave you laughing. Still, this book does produce a trance-like state where the idea of someone half-submerged in floor boards seems as normal as, say, George W. Bush being president of the United States. Hmmm, Goya was right!"
— Peter Kuper, Cartoonist

What really is an artist's Intuition?

Could our sense of color simply be throwback to primative caveman needs?
Is picking a color palette merely our caveman instinct way of deciding on the ripest fruit? Or the calm green of a healthy forrest?

Are the highly prized sparkle of diamonds merely a reminder of our deepest need to find glinting water.

Instinctual needs who's reasons are long forgotten.

Imagining Other Dimensions
by Rick Groleau
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/dimensions.html

For most of us, or perhaps all of us, it's impossible to imagine a world consisting of more than three spatial dimensions. Are we correct when we intuit that such a world couldn't exist? Or is it that our brains are simply incapable of imagining additional dimensions—dimensions that may turn out to be as real as other things we can't detect?

String theorists are betting that extra dimensions do indeed exist; in fact, the equations that describe superstring theory require a universe with no fewer than 10 dimensions.

WHAT: craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster won an eBay auction for the first private communication transmission light years into deep space, with the idea of offering this opportunity to craigslist users.

HOW: The friendly folks at Deep Space Communications Network (DSCN) will beam the postings trillions of miles into space using redundant klystron transmitters and a satellite dish.

HOW MUCH: The winning bid was $1225, but craigslist is negotiating with DSCN for extra capacity to accomodate the anticipated volume of craigslist postings to be transmitted - 10,000 ads were designated by users for transmission during the first 24 hours!

WHEN: The transmission is currently scheduled for May 15th, 2005, directly following the launch of the space shuttle Discovery.

WHERE: Cape Canaveral, FL

WHY: It seemed fitting for craigslist users to be the first to beam internet postings and classified ads into deep space.

A successful "test transmission" of 138,179 classified ads designated by craigslist users for outer space took place yesterday, in conjunction with the Atlas launch at Cape Canaveral -- full details here

FAQ:

Q: Is this a hoax.
A: No.

Q: Do you really think there is a chance that Extraterrestrials will receive and understand this transmission?
A: DSCN has assured us that there is a nonzero chance of this happening. Pretty exciting!

Q: Will you be charging users for this opportunity?
A: Of course not.

Q: How will the postings be selected for transmission?
A: A checkbox on the posting form will be available starting immediately

Q: Will picture postings be included?
A: Yes. Don't forget to brush your hair.

Q: Why is this being done in conjunction with the launch of the Discovery?
A: Because the equipment being used for the transmission will be available during that time slot.

Q: How many postings will be beamed into space?
A: Quite a few. In the first 24 hours, approximately 10,000 postings were earmarked by users for transmission

Q: Will anything else be included in the transmission?
A: A personal video statement from Craig, a clip from the documentary film "24 hours on craigslist", and ...?

Q: Will they invade our planet and kidnap Bush for their zoo?
A: We can only hope...

That's what I heard about Bush's re-election !!!

We should ALL have voted on this concept before any "signs of intelligent" Classified life are beamed from earth.

What if a hostile race follows the messages back to earth?

What if they misunderstand our concepts (like Mullah leaders) and see it as a violation of their religious laws? Like sending images of post puberty females.

What if advert words like "headshot wanted" are taken litterally? And What if that is a common sport near some dying star ?

What is they want our jobs? And they have 2 more arms and 4 more hands than most migrant apple pickers?
What if they want our Yummy "found kittens looking for a good home"...?

What if they all have the capability to paint like Vincent van Gogh, write like Oscar Wilde and sing like Jenny Lind ?
How do I get an exhibition after they arrive?

Since this is an ART website maybe there should be a topical discussion on the many ways to colour Easter eggs.
I like doing from scratch the traditonal Good Old Fashioned way !!

First.. I like soaking my eggs in vinegar first to soften the shell and make it more absorbent to dye.

Then I use very tradional pigments like root of rose madder,
ground fish eyes, Oil of cloves, honey, scraped iron oxides from my water pipes, coffee grinds, blood, a pinch of gum arabic crystals...and if I have time I heat up some fresh cow urine. It's best colored if you've kept the cow on a diet of mango leaves.

THE SMOKING MUSEUM
www.museedufumeur.net/cadresa.html

The non-profit organization The Smoking Museum (Le musée du Fumeur) is dedicated to providing information on smoking and plants used for smoking.

From the native Americans who gave us tobacco to the pious saddhus of India who sacramentally puff on ganja, smoke is holy.

It connects mankind to the divine element, inviting the gods to descend among mortals, it inspires human beings. "Before answering a question, one ought to light a pipe" commented Einstein.

ART: Femmes et fumées : des geishas à George Sand,
un siècle de portraits / Lithographie originale 1890's
"Ecole de Barbizon" by Charles Jacque (1813 - 1894)
"Fumeurs" by David Téniers (1610 - 1690) Gravé par Chardon
"Anglais au cigare" by Gustave Doré (1832 - 1883) Litho

Lest we forget: VATICAN CITY : Black smoke signals no decision has been made after a papal ballot, while white smoke means a pope has been elected. The smoke is from the burning of the secret paper ballots, and chemicals are added to heighten the color.

"Fourteen Characteristics of Fascism"
By Dr. Lawrence Britt

# 11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts --
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

OHR-O'KEEFE MUSEUM OF ART — "True Colors"
Opening Reception: Fri, June 24, 2005, 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Exhibtion thru July 15, 2005
136 Ohr Street, Biloxi, MS


The artists in "True Colors" are a diverse mixture of Americans, who to a great extent mirror the ethnic, racial and religious backgrounds of the populace of the country at large. Many artists from New York and Washington witnessed the tragic events first hand while others, though far from Ground Zero, saw it in the media¹s coverage of the inescapable carnage, scale and inspiration. The commonality found in these works of art is not dissimilar to spirit which connects all American citizens.

Artists: Will Barnet, Richard Estes, Sam Gilliam, Red Grooms, Roy Lichtenstein, George McNeil, Robert Rauschenberg, Faith Ringgold, Jamie Wyeth, and others; Pam Bailey (ExxonMobil Arts Program), Bill Dunlap, and Nancy Matthews (Meridian), curators.

TOPIC: Scottish Arts Council - SUNDAY HERALD: "The menu is great, but where’s the meat of our culture policy?" http://www.sundayherald.com/50478
THE Cultural Commission report was finally published last Thursday, after a year of consultation. It is more than 500 pages long and has a standard structure.

CHRIS BALLANCE says the Culture Commission fails to recognise that it is people, not committees, who create art.
"Do such bureaucratic examinations miss the point? "No committee ever wrote a book, no strategy composed a symphony and no review created a work of art. [The] report fails to make its central case – that only the proposed Culture Scotland, a membership organisation owned and governed by councils for heritage and creative industries, plus representatives of business, education, and the voluntary sector, is the vehicle to deliver cultural rights."

Happy July 4th !!!
i like the U.S. Govt's idea of a really "big bang" for the taxpayers buck!! NASA's 83,000,000-mile shot at the comet "Tempel 1". And it was a bull's-eye !!! It took $333 million for this mission to make (hopefully) the most detailed study of a comet to date. It struck the ice (no vodka) and rock comet (half the size of Manhattan) and created a crater from which will spew some of the primal material that makes up its core. And the material will be analyzed using instruments from flyby crafts. This may hold clues to the formation of our solar system 4.5 billion years ago.
Or....just set free some primal material that will float thru space and eventually land on a distant planet... the same as Earth... was inhabited 3.65 billion years ago. Hey, I saw 2010:Odyssey !! This was all planned eons ago. Now Bush and Kim Jong II nuke the planet but we've passed on life!! We're like worker ants for the Big "G". It's all good...

Okay I got the ending wrong... time for a re-write.. So instead of Bush & Kim Jong II doing this world in... the outbreak of bird flu among migratory waterfowl in China... triggers a flu among people... it spreads to India, Australia, New Zealand and eventually to Europe.

Then migrating birds www.audubon-portfolio.com/
that carry H5N1 virus beyond southeast Asia, devastate the poultry farms. The birds die off but then bug populations overruns the crops and Bush's C.R. apocalyptic earthquake, floods, famine and H5N1 plague gives Spielberg, Lucas & George Romero a run for their creative special affects money. Americans lock themselves into their homes and watch worlds events on AOL PAy-Per-View.

Then after a few years ... primal material from "Tempel 1"
reaches earth... and we start again !

- "Wanted by top studios: Future animators - "
By Janet Kornblum, USA TODAY
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/2005-08-10-dreamworks-technology_x.htm?csp=34

"DreamWorks' newest employees — recruited straight out of college as part of a new DreamWorks educational initiative. Their job: to light the scene so the motion of the quills looks just right."

"Animation is not what it used to be. Where cartoons of yesteryear, like Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse, were once hand-drawn in two dimensions, movie hits such as The Incredibles (Pixar) and Shrek 1 and 2 (DreamWorks) are painstakingly designed, modeled, rigged, surfaced and lighted by teams of animators who have to be as artistic and creative as they are technological. Studios are constantly developing new technology to bring out details: Fur can rustle with the wind, skin can now almost glisten like the real thing (even if it does happen to be green). And porcupine quills can now bristle."

"Studios such as DreamWorks Animation, Disney Animation and Pixar look to the top colleges and universities for the next generation of animators."

"Several companies have recruitment and other programs; Disney Animation, for instance, has a summer internship in the technology department."

"Last year, in an effort to both recruit new animators and make sure colleges had the right kind of curriculum to turn out high-quality professionals, DreamWorks initiated a program in which employees go into classrooms to either teach or critique students' work, depending on the needs of the school. So far, they've been in seven top schools in the USA and Canada, including San Jose State University, Ohio State University in Columbus and Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, Fla. It also has programs at other schools, says Marilyn Friedman, who runs DreamWorks' outreach program."

"Attracted by a thriving arts and music scene here and a cost of living that is 37 percent lower than New York's, according to city figures, a significant number of youngish artists, musicians, restaurateurs and designers are leaving New York City and heading down the turnpike for the same reasons they once moved to Brooklyn from Manhattan.

"Philadelphians occasionally refer to their city - somewhat deprecatingly - as the "sixth borough" of New York, and with almost 8,000 commuters making the 75-minute train ride between the cities each weekday, the label seems not far off the mark. But Mr. Kreslins and Ms. Gaeta are a new breed of Philadelphia-bound commuters, those who come from New York by train or the popular Chinatown bus for a weekend and then come back, with a U-Haul, to stay."

Some background on "old school" animation.
Ka-Ching-Ka-Ching-Ka-Ching

The Society of Illustrators is the only national institution devoted solely to the art of illustration. Its membership of over 900 is comprised of professional artists in the fields of illustration, cartooning, animation, and graphic design. Those in associated fields, such as Art Directors, artist representatives, publishers, and designers are also included in the membership.

Established February 1, 1901, by a group of nine artists and one advising businessman; the Society's credo:

"The object of the Society shall be to promote generally the art of illustration and to hold exhibitions from time to time."

The first monthly dinners were attended by such prominent illustrators as Howard Pyle, Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Charles Dana Gibson, Frederic Remington, James Montgomery Flagg, Howard Chandler Christy and special guests like Mark Twain and Gloria Swanson. www.societyillustrators.org

Gonzo Writer Thompson's Ashes Blast Off
August 21, 2005 8:47 AM EDT

WOODY CREEK, Colo. - With a deafening boom, the ashes of Hunter S. Thompson were blown into the sky amid fireworks late Saturday as relatives and a star-studded crowd bid an irreverent farewell to the founder of "gonzo journalism."

As the ashes erupted from a tower, red, white, blue and green fireworks lit up the sky over Thompson's home near Aspen.

"I'll always remember where I was when Hunter was blown into the heavens," said Thompson's neighbor, Rita Sherman, who watched the spectacle from the deck of her house.

The 15-story tower was modeled after Thompson's logo: a clenched fist, made symmetrical with two thumbs, rising from the hilt of a dagger. It was built between his home and a tree-covered canyon wall, not far from a tent filled with merrymakers.

"He loved explosions," explained his wife, Anita Thompson.

The private celebration included actors Bill Murray and Johnny Depp, rock bands, blowup dolls and plenty of liquor to honor Thompson, who killed himself six months ago at the age of 67.


The author's longtime illustrator, Ralph Steadman, and actor Sean Penn were on the invitation list, along with Depp, who portrayed Thompson in the 1998 movie version of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream," perhaps the writer's best-known work.

"Over the last few months I've learned that he really touched people more deeply than I had realized," said Thompson's son, Juan.

Thompson's longtime friend George Stranahan lamented the Hollywood-style production. "I am pretty sure it isn't how Hunter would have done it," he said. "But when your friends make a mistake you support them."

Anita Thompson said Depp funded much of the celebration.

"We had talked a couple of times about his last wishes to be shot out of a cannon of his own design," Depp told The Associated Press last month. "All I'm doing is trying to make sure his last wish comes true. I just want to send my pal out the way he wants to go out."

Thompson is credited along with Tom Wolfe and Gay Talese with helping pioneer New Journalism - he dubbed his version "gonzo journalism" - in which the writer was an essential component of the story.

Composer David Amram, a friend of Thompson since the early 1960s, said Thompson had never expected to be successful taking on President Nixon during the Watergate era. "He thought he would be banned or put on an enemies' list," he said.

Thompson made himself the centerpiece of his stories "to show that a regular person could be in the midst of the craziness of the time," Amram said. "He was our historian."

No.. you mean would his wood taste like chicken.

Okay, enough of this crap I see a more serious use for CRAZY FROG. A possible Thesis on the FROG as part of a cultural backlash to all things perfect in this time of war.
We have religious leaders as both Pious & Pedophile.
A US president as both Protector & Primary fearmonger.
Mass Media icons that represent the common man yet live in
Reality TV's bling-bling excess.

Now we have CRAZY FROG. An artitstic animation icon FROG that is cute in an ugly sort of way.
Not the perfect asymmetrical lines of Western beauty.
And he has liver spots. He is also an anti-hero antognist against the "powers that be" trying to destroy him. In the end he triumphs by using the very same "WMD" employed by his larger, well equipped, faceless.

This whole package animation of catchy song, plot and anti-hero is # 1 in seven Europen countries.

Now,,, Does the U.S. conservative minded FCC rail against the bomb exploding or threat of predatory violence ??

No,, the provintial minded folks just box out the image of the frog's penis.
And by the way... proportionally the FROG is hung like a thumb nail.
....and probably tastes like Lutefisk.

So you see the frog as an old age pensioner.

The frog could symbolise Swedish Socialism -vs- an ailing American Social Security System. The animation could be set in the year 2025. Social Security is wiped out. The frog escaped from a Corporate Medical System nursing home.

Or there is just a $50,000 bounty on old people's... errr... frog's heads for Nursing Home/Medicaid beds quotas.

And the frog needs medication for his Alzheimer so that's why he forgot his pants and runs around yelling "Ding-Ding"

CRAZY FROG is more than a computer generated animation.
He is a product of human creativity and a uniting symbol of our movement (prune juice). The very artistic symbolism a new generation needs. "Don't tread me DING DING !!!"

"The Annoying Thing" is quite powerful !

F.Y.I.: Fabricated, outlandish and experimental images.
from Yahoo! Daily Wire for Thursday August 4, 2005

"Bearing the subtitle "a laboratory of mode + music + art," this site can't deny that it's a tad highfalutin' and slick. But that's fashion, and besides, it's magnificent fun."

"In a recent visit, we saw a segment called "Beautiful Things We Call Men" in which, well, beautiful men posed winsomely in lingerie and silk stockings. Then we visited a "Story of Nothing," where we peered through a bleary green-hued peephole as models balanced precariously on an ever-increasing stack of books."

Also offering up such goodies as film clips (including the mirror scene from the Marx Brothers' "Duck Soup"), indie-rock lullabies, and dress-up "paper dolls," dRESSLab can truly be described as fabulous, dahling. Just fabulous.

Milton Glaser and Mirko Ilic
Mon Sept 19, 2005 @ B&N Chelsea 7:00PM

He co-founded the revolutionary Pushpin Studios, founded New York Magazine with Clay Felker, established Milton Glaser, Inc., and teamed with Walter Bernard to form the publication design firm WBMG. He also designed the famous “I Love NY� campaign. He is faculty and Board member at the School of Visual Arts. Glaser’s artwork has been featured in exhibits worldwide, including one-man shows at both the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

TAKING ART APART SINCE 1976 - Art Monthly is the UK's leading magazine of contemporary visual art. Published 10 times a year, it keeps you in touch with today's fast-moving artworld through in-depth features, interviews with leading lights, profiles on rising stars and up-to-the-minute coverage of trends from independent critics.

The Bathroom Critic/ Alex Coles muses on two caricatures of the critic - http://www.artmonthly.co.uk/acoles.htm

The bead of sweat drips from his brow onto the typed page, turning the word 'festoons' into mere pulp. Soon enough it trickles all the way down to the bottom of the page and vanishes into the bubbles teetering dangerously near to the brim of the marble tub. This is not surprising given how hot it is in here, in the bathroom of the critic Lydecker.

Lydecker is hammering out another of his judicious art/society columns. Hammering is too severe a word though, it is more apposite to say that Lydecker lathers the page with his prose. Which is not to impute this is mere lightweight stuff: soap can sting.

Lydecker is a fictional character conjured up by Vera Caspery in her novel Laura and is played by a lean Clifton Webb in the Otto Preminger film of the same name.

I saw Alex Katz too. He was at Pace Wildenstein just before 6pm. The gallery was almost empty while he/we walked around Philip-Lorca diCorcia's "Lucky Thirteen" exhibit.
Large 5', mostly black background photos of pole dancers. Some of those images reminded me of medieval upside down crucifictions.
I think it was "Juliet Ms Muse" that had a hard drag-queenesque face and an audience of liquor bottles. Or an audience of little rigid glass villagers as silent onlookers to the spectacle.

But the question I held repressed at the gallery is... after seeing Lynn 2004, Harvest Moon, Lola, Pepper, & Sin.... How rigid will the gallery audience get?

Scientists Photograph Giant Squid in Wild

By HIROKO TABUCHI
Associated Press Writer Copyright 2005
September 27, 2005 10:21 PM EDT

TOKYO - The giant squid can be found in books and in myths, but for the first time, a team of Japanese scientists has captured on film one of the most mysterious creatures of the deep-sea in its natural habitat.

The team led by Tsunemi Kubodera, from the National Science Museum in Tokyo, tracked the 26-foot long Architeuthis as it attacked prey nearly 3,000 feet deep off the coast of Japan's Bonin islands.

New York artist Bill Rabinovitch rushed to scene with his own camera declaring a new ending to his epic film "Pollock Squared". Mr. Rabinovitch was overheard screaming "This is great" ... "What a natural.. Giant Squid consumes pollock!!"

Sadly,, enormous tentacles reached over the bow of the boat and grabbed Mr. Rabinovitch. His last words were "Great.. Wow ! What a close-up this is going to be!!"

That's really really funny!

Speaking of Flora & Fauna, etc., I'll respond even before I can figure out how to escape the Giant Squid in a powerful cliffhanger sequel for PollockSquared so that the epic can continue. It's not too far off the mark though, as actually during the summer I spent time filming many of Central Parks Zoo's Penquins zooming around at breakneck speed that I'm already been planning to incorporate by merging them in lively fashion into an appropriate Pollock painting called Full Fathom Five.

Last week videoed in great detail Alex Katz's opening of preparatory drawings at the Peter Bloom gallery in SOHO & doing a dozen interviews. This week interviewed artist Larry Bell actually during his installation at Pace uptown. Also videoed Spike Lee's new presentation and later the top staff of the Museum of Natural History doing a formal presentation concerning the Dinosaur show at the Apple Store Theater in SOHO explaining their use of Apple technology.

Curiously enough I already have some tremendously realistic 3D animated dinosaurs I'll set up in the field in back of Pollock's house for that extra oomph!

I'll film Halloween when Barnaby becomes Franz Kline in another artistic identity crisis but I (too bad) discarded my last year's wizard costume. Therefore not sure who or what to be having no ideas.

RE:"realistic 3D animated dinosaurs I'll set up in the field in back of Pollock's house for that extra oomph!"

This film is blowing my mind! Dinosaurs ? "extra oomph!" !!!"

How about a caveman Cheney trying to club a dinosaur to death to speed up the deterioration process inorder to create oil. This would explain the mass extinction.
And maybe a Flying Saucer discretely in the background with a modern VP Cheney reporting "mission accomplished". And a quick passing pan of the "Haliburton" logo.

RE:"discarded my last year's wizard costume."

Costume ???

Oh....

How bout this year dressing like a giant cell-phone and text messaging over and over "I am the greatest ARTIST!!"

There should be a few Alfred E. Newman / George W. Bush
masks with the "What? me Worry? Global warming where? smiles.

Or check out the Aardman Animations Ltd new film starring "Wallace & Gromit". Wallace is an inventor of the Soccamatic and "The Mind-Manipulation-O-Matic" and other useless contraptions.
The timing is good for the movie release & Halloween parade but the characters might be too British to recognize.

ATOA could serve Ika squid Bento boxes for cultural exchange. Think about it,,, the Korean grocery owners alone could fill SVA's auditorium. ZEN you could approach New Age people from Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope. They spend big bucks to prove how enlightened & liberal they are.

The Douglas Kelley Show has been on the air since 1998. The DKS has been at its present location on 45th Street in the Hell's Kitchen section of New York since 1975. The focus of the show is to review gallery openings and emerging artists from the United States and abroad.

http://dks.thing.net/RetroFallingAway.html


DKS: - (b Hollywood, CA, 28 Apr 1952). American painter, performance and video artist.Studied painting with Philip Guston in high school and sculpture with Hans Haacke at Cooper Union. During the 1970's he produced a film "The End of the Art World" featuring Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, and others that premiered at the Whitney Museum; produced happenings with Red Grooms, Robert Whitman, and Robert Wilson, and was among the first artists to show in Soho. During the 1980's he was the leader of several well-known subversionist bands. One of his records is cited as an influence in early hiphop and rap culture. During the past fifteen years he has been a prolific producer of video art and documentaries about the NYC art scene. This culminated in a long running weekly television program "The Douglas Kelley Show" that explores a broad range of social and artistic topics not covered by traditional media. http://dks.thing.net

I went to The Society of Illustrators last week and I was disappointed. Normally they have sketch from a live model and some background music. Last Thursday they hired the "Freak Show" troupe. They went thru their "Shock and Aw" motions of bed of nails, sword swallowing, and screwdriver in the nose. But they couldn't stay still for the serious 3 hours normally given for drawing. Basically ; once they did their 5 minute routines they couldn't stay still in one spot for very long.

Beyond the Visible: The Art of Odilon Redon
exhibit: October 30, 2005–January 23, 2006

MOMA : "Caught between description and dream, the observed and the imagined, Odilon Redon's (French, 1840–1916) work transformed the natural world into dark visions and bizarre fantasies. Delving into the imagination, Redon created a universe of hybrid creatures, offered his own interpretations of literary, biblical, and mythological subjects, and presented the environment in a singular way: we see grinning disembodied teeth, smiling spiders, winged chariots, unfamiliar plant life." www.moma.org

What is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder?
The handbook for psychiatric disorders lists as a developmentally inappropriate level of hyperactivity, impassivity and attention.

Are we drugging up the next generation of young artists to conform to the extended school day of latch-key living?
Bush's and CNN's fear monger terror world of bird-flu, tsunami, hoard the water bottle, National Hurricane Center, 24 hour minute by minute blow-off-the face of the earth news coverage?.?.?...

Well, actually, it’s a lot more than that.

How many kids we have labeled in the United States to have ADHD? How many corporate drug companies are making money?

What is bipolar disorder? It used to be called manic depression. How many famous artists worked thru it?
Worked BECAUSE of "it"?? Vincent van Gogh ?
Excess sexually pent-up Aids fears/Victorian era feelings and mood swings that have spilled out and over a canvas of obsessed genius ? Draw "live nude models" while avoiding Herpes.

The "mental heath" studies have to be funded by someone and the studies for these drugs are usually funded by the same people who make the drugs. Then once they’re on a market, there’s much less financial backing to do any type of follow-up studies.

Here you will find multiple rooms for all of your oekaki and drawing needs, based on OekakiBBS, PaintBBS and Oekaki Poteto. The oekaki boards are divided by quality of art and theme (such as realism, furries, etc.), there's even an oekaki board called the Dojo where you can host and participate in contests!

__ OEKAKI

2005-11-03

Oekaki is Japanese for "scribble" or "doodle". On the Internet, an Oekaki is a message board system that revolves around computer art created by a local art program. Oekaki artists often post their art to other websites, such as personal pages or free gallery websites, in addition to the original board.

Oekaki is extremely popular among the anime Internet subculture, because it enables a community gathering to share fanart and offer critiques and compliments. It also serves as a tool to "flesh out" original characters, especially roleplaying characters.

Oekaki: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The main manga is known as Moonless Age, the story that began it all with a young 'drow' girl named Ariel Val'sarghress, who lives in a world below the surface of the earth, known as the underworld. This world is completely different from ours, with races that have different customs, mentalities, and civilizations..

The good lord doesn't have time to assassinate Venezuelan (or other south American) Presidents but Valerie Plame could have helped. Thy will be done ! She could have gotten real close to him and used her double "O" 7 cups to smother him ! Then with a secret CIA 2-way Dick Tracey style cell phone she could have let Karl Rove she was on the good side and he would have let her off the hook. Then later in Dover Pennsylvania.. they could unite in Gods name to rig the election in favor of an intelligently designed voting booth with little angels painted on high singing "Gloria...

You would be hard-pressed to find a collaborative art group that had a greater influence on contemporary installation art than TODT.

They began their quest for a reconstructed reality in 1978, addressing science, industry, and technology, while maintaining this creepy, sort of implied human presence. A human presence that was not ours in particular, but the artists, certainly.

For this show, TODT offers their unique view of family values, children and their world.

"Oldest Maya Mural Uncovered in Guatemala" By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID (AP Sci Writer) Fr: Ass Press Dec 13, 2005
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/12/1213_051213_maya_mural.html

WASHINGTON - Archaeologist William Saturno said Tuesday he was awe-struck when he uncovered a Maya mural not seen for nearly two millennia. Discovered at the San Bartolo site in Guatemala, the mural covers the west wall of a room attached to a pyramid, Saturno said at a briefing.

In brilliant color, the mural tells the Maya story of creation, he said. It was painted about 100 B.C., but later covered when the room was filled in.

"It could have been painted yesterday," Saturno said in a briefing organized by the National Geographic Society, which supported his work and will detail the finding in the January 2006 issue of its magazine.

The mural includes four deities, which are variations of the same figure, the son of the corn god. As Saturno explained it: The first deity stands in the water and offers a fish, establishing the watery underworld. The second stands on the ground and sacrifices a deer, establishing the land. The third floats in the air, offering a turkey, establishing the sky. The fourth stands in a field of flowers, the food of gods, establishing paradise.

Simple "chance to collaborate" means draw your neighbor.
Useful to fill in the gaps for late models, or "no show"
models, or if by 3:30 am they've run out of models.

RE: Greenwich Village Residents Protest Construction Of Luxury Hi-Rise / Jan. 17, 2006 - Rebecca Spitz , NY1 News
www.ny1.com

The permits are hanging up and the work is going on. 360 West 11th Street is being converted to a luxury hi-rise by developer and filmmaker Julian Schnabel.

Protesters say the hi-rise will be twice as tall as other buildings on the block, ruining the feel of their neighborhood.

"One of the reasons I moved there and my wife moved there was because it was a little hamlet,” says area resident Arnold Frankel. “It's not going to be a hamlet anymore."

“No less than half a dozen times I witnessed illegal construction before hours -as early as 5 a.m. - and after hours - even after 8 p.m.,” says protestor Steve Henry.

RE: DRAW-A-THON

Wow! You are a rough crowd. I don't really understand what is fueling your negative comments but thought I'd drop a few lines. Getting right to the point, as artists you have to appreciate that most figure drawing sessions are overwhelmingly dry and sterile when they don't have to be. We put together an event that gives artists an opportunity to make art, have fun and tap into a different kind of creative energy. Why does that rub some of you the wrong way? My partner and I put a lot of time and effort into the project, artists that have actually been love it and the models enjoy what they do. And, contrary to your suppositions they do get paid. They are a great group, many of whom model regularly at NY art institutions and add some amazing creative energy to the event.

You are all welcome to come down and see for yourself. The next one is this Thursday the 16th @ Fix. There is more info at www.michaelalanart.com .... but I gather you already know that.

Well maybe Diana has got a point. The " Critical Dialog in the Visual Arts" has become too much "Critical" and not enough "Dialog". As per the 'opportunity to make art, have fun and tap into a different kind of creative energy'. Seriously I love the Jose Ferrer movie with Toulouse-Lautrec sketching the life at the Moulin Rouge. The constant movement I wonder what it would be like to sketch in that time period without the modern restrictions like "intellectual property".

Also depends what money you make longterm like commissioned portraits or from a personlized painting style.

Art supplies always cost money.

In painting like in Jazz you have learn the serious basics before improvising. Just hanging out night after night is idealized unless it leads to some gigs.

How Do Models Live ?

The going rate for undraped models is $ 14-20 per hour (without health insurance coverage).

Inexperienced models getting involved in long (weeks) poses without knowing their own personal limits can develop permanent nerve damage.

---------------------------------------------------
Model (art)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Loss of circulation is a common problem, especially for beginning models, and is most common during seated poses with the legs crooked, crossed, or folded; some studies indicate a link between prolonged circulation cut-offs and varicose veins. Likewise, the most interesting compositions with the reclining figure can be especially hard on the circulation. Some poses - particularly with the arms raised above the heart for extended periods - can result in nerve and muscle damage, skin discoloration and temporary paralysis.

A model is a person who acts as a human prop for purposes of art, fashion, advertising, pornography, etc.

http://artport.whitney.org/commissions/screeningcircle/screeningcircle.shtml

Screening Circle adapts the cultural tradition of the quilting circle into an online format.

Visitors to the site can enter the drawing area to compose loops of graphics and affect and edit each other's screens. The pieces can be made by one person or by several people and the arrangement of the segments can be haphazard or precise.

In the screening area, the resulting motion graphics will be on view instantaneously. The "circle" invoked in the title refers to the circle of participants, and, indirectly, to the loop of images that are produced. "Screening" refers to the pre-viewing of film in the film making process. It is a form of viewing that allows people to have some influence over the final product.

Thursday night proved to be a plenitude of Art Openings in Chelsea with a plethora of nuts. The well-heeled of the feminist movement art movement were gathereed at Miriam Schapiros opening at Flomenhaft to munch on such goodies as a deep bowl of mixed nuts, tuna salad and egg salad mini sandwichs or pretzels and all washed down with Pink Champagne! Decadence !! Some noted artist attending were African-American Painter Emma Amos, kinetic sculptor Flash Light, Professor of art at Univ of Calif San Diego Faith Ringgold and the Women's Studio Center's own VP Andrea Bonifacio...to name only a few!

More nuts could be found at ART GOTHEM where their bottomless bowl of protein was complimented by wine or cranberry juice. The theme of the show was New York Skylines. A déjà vu subject to Hedda and all those elevator impatient people using the staircaes of the Chelsea buildings with their marvolous window views.

Over at CERES Gallery Ann R. Shapiros nephew owner of the trendy yet American traditional Schnack Restaurants gave his all for auntie by supplying a lovely assortment of cheeses
including a Chilean blue cheese.
Ann's art exhibtion "IMPACT" explores the ways in which our environment changes from all those nasty CNN reported envents. Ann would be a good candidate for tonights "environmentally conscious artists" ATOA panel. By the way ... the Chilean cheese had a lite dusting of black ash but I don't know if it was significant to the Terra Firma of volconic activity on the enviroment or a Mount St Helena ref.

critical discussions of crappy artists. Not a food critic review.

This open forum was conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that "all crappy artist are created equal".

Today we are engaged in a great war of verbage, testing whether this forum, or any forum so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of "everybodys a critic!". We come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who's art really sucked big time, so that the forum might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow, this web sight -- Crappy art IS CRAPPY ART !! The brave artist, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note (what else is new), nor long remember what we say here (neither will we once we've sobered up) while it can never forget what we typed here.

It is rather for us, the living (if you call this living), we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that, from these honored dead. We take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion and snide comment-- that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in IV vain; that the forum, shall have a new birth of freed-dumbs, and that a forum of the artists by the artist and for the crappy artist, shall not perish from the virtual web.

This morning's artist meeting was all abuzz from caffeine, muffins and energized by the prospects of hearing Pat Passlof, Corinne Robbins, Geoff Dorfman, and Max Gimblett @ SVA. These painters will draw on their long, long, long careers to debate the question; "Is abstract painting finally passe ?"

Matthew Barney's latest film, Drawing Restraint 9, reinvents the artist's signature vision through the simple rubric of foreignness. Aboard a whaling ship and subjected to Japanese custom, he and his lover Björk are cross-cultural stowaways, at once invaders and guests. Their presence is transformative and mysterious

So... this panda walks into a bar..

He sits down, and starts munching away at the bowl of peanuts. He doesn't order a drink, and nobody bothers him about it, cuz they're all kinda confused as to why a panda decided to just walk in and eat peanuts.

Anyways, after some time, the panda finishes the peanuts. The very second he finishes the peanuts, he gets up, pulls out an AK47 and shoots the living hell out of everyone in the bar, except the owner.

Then, while the owner is stunned by this strange behavior, the panda puts away the gun and simply walks out of the bar. The owner just stares, wondering how this could have happened. So, when he gets home, he decides to look up pandas in this book he's got on animals of the orient.

And there is his answer:

Panda bear: Eats chutes and leaves.

RE -- Finally, what educated predictions will they make about the direction of contemporary art in the future?

Everything Old will be new again. And after Bush starts his nuclear world war... the "Planet of The Apes" film ending will apply. Art will be drawn by mutants with fire-ash, blood, urine and berry juice on nuked rat skins. Somewhere in the Universe, there must be something better than Bush!

And so it begins again....

"Dada" / June 18–September 11, 2006
Born in the heart of Europe during World War I, the Dada movement displayed a raucous skepticism about accepted values and artistic practices and addressed pressing questions posed by modernity itself. This is the first major museum exhibition in the United States to focus exclusively on Dada, one of the most significant movements of the historical avant-garde.

Award-winning printmaker Elizabeth Harington, who studied at the League, spent eight years creating 24 etchings as visual expressions of Bach's compositions.

Inspired by her own extensive involvement with classical music and a deep appreciation for Bach in particular, Harington's prints offer dynamic counterpoints to the Preludes and Fugues of The Well-tempered Clavier. Harington's work is in public collections world-wide, including those of Harvard University and the New York Public Library.

Based on a story in Clowes' comic "Eightball," "Confidential" stars Max Minghella as Jerome, a student at a prestigious East Coast school who struggles with the feeling that the glory he believes is due is passing him by -- as is the attention of the girl of his dreams."

So the idea was to find 50 young photographers just out of school from around the world who show lots of promise. And if they're this good now, well, they just might be the superstars of photography in 20 years.

A smaller version of the Swiss exhibit is now at Aperture in Chelsea. It's called “reGeneration.” and includes several local artists like Angela Strassheim.

So what trends do we see among this generation of artists?

“The digital aspect of it is important,” says Martin. “Another interesting thing [is] that these photographers don't respect boundaries of genres. They're very international. They take a new idea, they don't care where it comes from, and they're willing to experiment. I think it's very exciting.”

Perhaps the biggest trend is just the overall rejection of traditional genres. As you walk around you won’t see any street scenes, no grand landscapes, no traditional portraiture - not even a nude.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -- The Jewish family that forced Austria to return five paintings by Gustav Klimt stolen from it by the Nazis have sold one for a world record price of $135 million and now must determine whether they want to sell the other four.

Art experts said a bidding war could now develop between major museums and collectors for the remaining works by Klimt, which could together fetch between $100 million and $150 million.

The Neue Galerie was chosen because it was important to the family that the paintings be on public view forever and not wind up in someone's private collection, Schoenberg told Reuters.

exhibition : "The Power of Myth"
The work of Ray Harryhausen

thru Sept 2006

www.nmpft.org.uk

‘Fantasy is the very basis of my career, and movies allowed me to make reality of my dreams...’ Ray Harryhausen

Harryhausen's work is shown in the context of the work of those who inspired and influenced him – the drawings of Hollywood art directors of the 1930s and 1940s, such as Byron Crabbe and Mario Larrinaga, his mentor, animator Willis O'Brien, the natural history painter Charles R Knight and 18th and 19th century artists such as Michael Joseph Gandy, John Martin and Gustav Doré. His work can thus be appreciated as part of a wider cultural tradition.

=====================================================

LONDON ARTIST NEEDS YOU!

Hello there, As part of my post-graduate studies at the Slade School of Fine Art I would very much appreciate your contribution to my current project.

Recent work has involved writing messages on windows, which have been linked to the great text works of US artists Jenny Holzer and Lawrence Weiner. These self generated messages “SEE ME”, “PARDON ME”, “NEVER MIND ME”etc have acted as a continuous “red book” dialogue on the Slade School façade.

I am now inviting you to express your rants and raves as if the façade is Speakers Corner by contributing to a performance in 2007 which will involve hundreds of anonymous messages being sprayed onto the Slade’s windows. There is no limit to the number of words you can write but all messages will end in “Me”. You can either use this as part of the message or not. You can make both logical and illogical sentences. You could use a current catchphrase or a slogan or a line from your favourite song. Or write the first thing that comes into your head.

The drawings will then be collated into a book format and a selection of theses entries will provide the material for a live window performance at the Slade in 2007.

FOR AN ENTRY FORM THEN PLEASE EMAIL
leejjcampbell@yahoo.co.uk

Cheers

RE: YAHOO PICKS : "Though screenshotportraits account for some of the world's most legendary artwork
(hello, Mona Lisa), the United States has never held a national portrait competition.
Until now. In celebration of its July 1 grand reopening, the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. has inaugurated the first-ever American portrait challenge, and asked artists and sculptors throughout the U.S. to show us what they've got. View the results on this richly designed site, which comes complete with statements from exhibition finalists, online journals from 13 of the artists, and an interactive drawing and coloring tool for the painter within. If you only have a moment, don't miss the first-prize winner, "Sam and the Perfect World" by David Lenz. It's a portrait of the artist's son Sam, who has Down Syndrome. In his accompanying statement, Lenz muses over this image of his young boy, and what it means to be
"perfect" in society today." = Yahoo Daily Picks

RE : MoMA Exterior To Be Turned Into Outdoor Movie Screen
July 25, 2006 - by Stephanie Simon ; reporter for NY1NEWS

RE: The city is welcoming a special art installation this winter that will turn the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan into an outdoor movie screen.

RE: The glass and concrete building that houses MoMA is expected to draw thousands of visitors in January when a film is projected onto the museum's façade. It's the first free public art exhibit by artist Doug Aitken here in the United States.

The artist says his film will give people a new perspective on their relationship with the city.

“I was very interested in looking at these very quiet, intimate moments and seeing if they could expand across buildings and kind of represent people inside them instead of always looking out and seeing cold glass, steel and concrete,” Aitken said at a news conference Tuesday.

The free film project will run from dusk to 10 p.m. every day for about a month beginning next year on January 16th 2007.

“Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” could alludes to the voodoo notion of "midnight"—the period between the time for good magic and the time for evil magic. The voodoo priestess in the film explains, “The half-hour before midnight is for doin' good. The half-hour after midnight is for doin' evil. . .

“The whole world, as we experience it visually,
comes to us through the mystic realm of color.”

-Hans Hofmann

Artist Frank Stella sang Hofmann's praises in his American Heritage magazine essay, “The Artist of the Century.” Students in America’s art schools today are reaping what he sowed through his 40 years of teaching. Artists around the world employ his color theories.

Through his own vibrant paintings and his pioneering teachings, Hans Hofmann has inspired generations.

Legendary teacher, incendiary painter, catalyst of the Abstract Expressionist movement, Hans Hofmann influenced generations of artists across Europe and North America. The Estate of Hans Hofmann is a nonprofit foundation established for the promotion and exhibition of his work.

The New York Studio School's "Evening Lecture Series", although designed for students, has become a major resource for the vibrant art community of New York City.

The Lecture Series provides a forum for discussion of issues in art, referring frequently to contemporary exhibitions in museums and galleries.

Public access to the series broadens the scope of the evening's discourse.

Two weekly evening lectures are held at the New York Studio School during the regular semester. On Tuesdays, established and emerging artists lecture on their own work or on issues in art about which they feel particularly passionate. Art critics, historians or philosophers present pertinent and sometimes controversial subjects in art history and art criticism on Wednesdays.

The fall season of "The Evening Lectures Series"
will begin again on October 10, 2006.

The Evening Lecture Series is admission-free and open to the public. The Lecture Series is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Symposium: Why the Nude? Contemporary Approaches

October 26 at 7:00 p.m.

Diversity is the keynote of the show, which mingles work by selected League instructors and artists outside the school. The nude may be a traditional subject, but it finds renewed force in the context of contemporary society’s obsession with physical appearance, and in issues such as censorship, pornography and feminism.

Artists Sherry Camhy, Francis Cunningham, Barney Hodes, Denise Marika, Philip Pearlstein, Sharon Sprung, Anita Steckel and Costa Vavagiakis
will discuss issues surrounding the exhibit.

The League gratefully acknowledges the loans to the exhibition by the participating artists and the following galleries and collectors: Mary Boone Gallery, Betty Cunningham Gallery, Forum Gallery, Stephen Haller Gallery, Gallery Henoch, PPOW Gallery, all in New York; Andrew Kornstein, M.D.; Ken Miller and Lybess Sweezy; More Gallery, Philadelphia; and Howard Yezerski Gallery, Boston.

Rote Armee Fraktion

urban guerrillas

2007-01-03

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The Red Army Faction (or Red Army Fraction; also commonly known as the Baader-Meinhof Group [or Gang]; in German: Rote Armee Fraktion or simply RAF), was postwar West Germany's most active and prominent left-wing terrorist organization; it described itself as a communist "urban guerrilla" group...

The Red Army Faction operated from the 1970s to 1998, committing numerous crimes, especially in the autumn of 1977, which led to a national crisis that became known as "German Autumn". It was responsible for 34 murders—including many secondary targets such as chauffeurs and bodyguards– and many injuries in its almost 30 years of existence...

Meinhof commented, "If one sets a car on fire, that is a criminal offence. If one sets hundreds of cars on fire, that is political action."

Yup,, If a young fella sets a car on fire, Then he's A TERRORIST.

But if I sets hundreds of cars on fire... that's my political action.
