“Art changes the way we perceive and imagine. Art is a doorway to change.

Through artistic vision, cultures and societies realize their dreams.

Together we share the potential for creative expression. Art Equals social change.

Social networking is a new tool used by The Fine Art magazine to create change through

our community of over 13,000 artists, writers, dealers, collectors, and musicians, etc.

We are reaching out, as interactive catalysts , to offer our audience the potential

to touch and change lives through their art. All are welcome. -Jamie Ellin Forbes

Fort Mason

First Fine Art Fair of Modern and Contemporary Art

NEW GRANT ESTABLISHED:

FOR MATURE AMERICAN PAINTERS

Lillian Orlowsky, Still Life By the Sea, circa 1940's PAAM Collection

Provincetown, MA: Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) is proud to announce The Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed Foundation Grant, a new source of funding for mature American painters. This marks the first year that these grants are made available to the public.
 
The late Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed were artists, teachers, and active members of PAAM and the Provincetown arts community for over 50 years. Lillian, in particular, was sensitive to the challenges that artists confront, especially artists working against the mainstream or outside of popular schools of art.  Her desire to provide financial support to mature artists through this generous endowment gift speaks to her passionate commitment to art for art's sake and art created regardless of the demands and whims of the market place.  This gift has positioned PAAM to, for the first time, be a grantee - an opportunity to financially assist artists on a national level.
 
"PAAM is thrilled to be a position that allows us to distribute this kind of funding to painters in need. It's hard to be an artist; the rising cost of living and the effects of the recession have hit the creative community in a major way. To be able to offset some of those expenses is truly a dream come true, "says PAAM's Executive Director, Chris McCarthy.  "Additionally, we are very grateful to the Foundation executors for providing PAAM with an unprecedented opportunity."
 
Grants will be offered to American painters aged 45 or older who demonstrate financial need. The primary emphasis is to promote public awareness and a commitment to American art, as well as encouraging interest in artists who lack adequate recognition. Grants will range from $5,000 to $10,000. Applications are available online at www.paam.org or by calling 508.487.1750. Completed applications must be postmarked by August 16, 2010.
 
Provincetown Art Association and Museum's (PAAM) Lillian Orlowsky / William Freed Museum School (LOWF) serves students of all experience levels, offering year-round programming including workshops, art history lectures, scholarships, and free classes for adults and children, led by professional teaching artists. To register for a class go to www.paam.org or call 508.487.1750.
 
 

 Art Reflects Nature:

FAM's response to the Gulf Coast Oil spill.

Oil Spill, #2 & 4 Lois DiCosola 

 Fine Art magazine FB fan page artist: abstracts and figurative post.

“Art changes the way we perceive and imagine. Art is a doorway to change. Through artistic vision, cultures and societies realize their dream. Together we share the potential for creative expression. Art equals social change.” -Jamie Ellin Forbes

L/R,Maria Varga, "Our Mother Earth", "Untitled", Rusty Harden, "Abstract Minerals Known as Rhythms"

Art is a strong voice for change. Abstract and figurative works contemplating nature illustrated by artists as they work out the thematically how they are affected, inspired by the stream/ flow of nature surrounding them are posted here. 

To constructively channel my outrage over the Gulf Oil spill I have requested posts from our Fine Art Magazine Face book Fans, to state through image their reflections regarding nature, as a constructive response to the Gulf Oil spill which will impact out national environment for years to come. These are their images.

How we see is by artists as they enhance nature to remind us through their vision what we find valuable, beautiful, moving and touching. Artists provide the common thread to all peoples employing the language of depiction / figurative imagery to share the metaphor connecting our thoughts. From Color Field, abstract expressionists, abstract impressionists, through realistic and figurative art image we draw the collective vision of our time.

Thank you Fine Art Magazine Fan page artists for contributing to this post.

I would like to use the Fine Art Magazine FB Fan page to keep the concept of Wild life as elegant beauty alive in art image during the crisis of the Gulf oil spill. Any one who has images Please share with us. Maybe we can pierce the indifferent attitude of the people who take for granted the beauty that naturally surrounds us in nature. I will post as many to the Fineartmagazine.com site.

CineWomen On Screen:

A NYWIFT SeriesEvent: Tuesday Apr. 27, 2010

NYWIFT/ This screening series celebrates the work of emerging female filmmakers from all over the world. Films that are included in the series must be directed, co-directed, produced, written, edited or shot by women. Whenever possible, the filmmakers are present for discussion and socializing after their works are presented. There will be a Q&A following the screening, and an after-party to follow, with Cash Bar and complimentary food @:
Dempsey's Pub, 61 2nd Avenue, between 3rd and 4th Streets.

This month, CineWomen on Screen: A NYWIFT Series salutes Asian Pacific Heritage Month with a selection of two short films that take a sharp look at cultural identity.

UnderpassDirector: Rain Breaw15 minutes

A family that survived the Cambodian Khmer Rouge has rebuilt their lives, establishing themselves in San Diego. The son, Sann, tormented by memories of the killing fields, copes with his anger by painting violent graffiti on a city underpass. When his mother reaches out to an illegal immigrant from Central America, Sann must confront his fears without destroying his family.

Rain Breaw is an independent film director/producer currently working with Laura Ziskin Productions on the Stand Up 2 Cancer initiative. She is also working on PSAs and music videos, in addition to preparing her first feature. A graduate of the USC MFA Production Program, Rain has produced the feature Mr. Sadman and numerous shorts.

Monkey DanceDirector: Julie Mallozzi65 minutes

Three Cambodian-American teenagers come of age in a world shadowed by their parents' nightmares of the Khmer Rouge. Traditional Cambodian dance links them to their culture, but fast cars, hip consumerism and new romance pull harder. Gradually coming to appreciate their family's sacrifices, the teens find a balance between their parents' dreams and their own.

Julie Mallozzi's films explore the fluidity of cultural identity and historical memory. Her subjects are often people who, displaced from one country to another, manage to succeed in their new circumstances.  She is interested in the ways culture relates to contemporary problems.

Produced by Alison McMahan and Ylana of the CineWomen Screening Committee

This summer thirteen European galleries will find their temporary homefor a month in Reykjavik. After all, the centre is where we are. This is thebelief on which the Reykjavik project is based.We aim to prove that private galleries with curatorial experience can beinnovative and stimulating, that they look forward to active interactionwith the public and not only follow the market rules of competition. Thisis not an art fair! On the contrary – Villa Reykjavik is a result of the generaldisappointment with the formula of art fairs. In addition, the project stemsfrom the conviction that private galleries which collaborate with givenartists play a decisive role in determining the shape of contemporary artfield and the directions of its explorations. The way we propose to collaborateis different. If only in a small scale we want to release a collectiveenergy, and rediscover our common denominator – art in its many manifestations,a penchant for experimentation and risk.

INTERVIEW WITH TIM HILL, HILL GALLERY

Main Galleries:
Roberto Juarez
Summer Show: Oil Paintings



"Over the years, my paintings have focused on a dialogue of mark making between different layers of paint, paper, and collage. The current group of oil paintings continues this dialogue of layering and contrast with a generous amount of color after a winter of black and white. The strict geometry of the work is loosening up to a more emotionally based under-painting on a smaller sized canvas which allows for a quicker pace and evolution from painting to painting. Also included will be oil studies on gessoed cardboard. By showing this group of small work my purpose is to exhibit my working process in a gallery situation."

VIMEO VIDEO SCHOOL LAUNCHES AS A FREE, FUN AND EASY WAY TO HELP PEOPLE MAKE BETTER VIDEOS

Over 800 Lessons, Tips, and Tutorials are Available for the Beginner or Advanced Video Maker

NEW YORK, Dec. 16, 2010 - Online video sharing site Vimeo(R), an operating business of IAC [NASDAQ: IACI], today launched Vimeo Video School, a free online educational initiative to help people of all skill-sets make better videos.

Vimeo Video School includes 'Video 101', a series of originally produced videos for beginners that covers step- by-step instructions on choosing the right camera, shooting tips and simple editing techniques. The site also covers popular subjects such as how to shoot video with the increasingly popular HD DSLR cameras through an informative and light-hearted eight-video series called 'DSLR Basics' with renowned videographer Philip Bloom.

At the center of the Video School experience are the internally-developed Lessons. Lessons are short, simple-to- follow tutorials created to support and to inform people on a wide range of video-related topics. By combining videos, written explanations, photos, relevant external links and an appropriate dose of humor, Lessons provide a more informative and detailed set of instructions that people can follow and then put into practice. Each Lesson ends with a Lesson challenge, giving the opportunity to practice the newly learned subject with other like-minded members in Vimeo's well-known and supportive community. Basic to advanced Lessons can be found on a broad set of topics and new Lessons will be introduced regularly on the site every week. Now, anyone that has ever watched an amazing timelapse video and thought "I wish I knew how to do that," can visit the How to Make a Timelapse Lesson in Vimeo Video school and learn how today.

NEW GRANT ESTABLISHED:

FOR MATURE AMERICAN PAINTERS

Lillian Orlowsky, Still Life By the Sea, circa 1940's PAAM Collection

Provincetown, MA: Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) is proud to announce The Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed Foundation Grant, a new source of funding for mature American painters. This marks the first year that these grants are made available to the public.
 
The late Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed were artists, teachers, and active members of PAAM and the Provincetown arts community for over 50 years. Lillian, in particular, was sensitive to the challenges that artists confront, especially artists working against the mainstream or outside of popular schools of art.  Her desire to provide financial support to mature artists through this generous endowment gift speaks to her passionate commitment to art for art's sake and art created regardless of the demands and whims of the market place.  This gift has positioned PAAM to, for the first time, be a grantee - an opportunity to financially assist artists on a national level.
 
"PAAM is thrilled to be a position that allows us to distribute this kind of funding to painters in need. It's hard to be an artist; the rising cost of living and the effects of the recession have hit the creative community in a major way. To be able to offset some of those expenses is truly a dream come true, "says PAAM's Executive Director, Chris McCarthy.  "Additionally, we are very grateful to the Foundation executors for providing PAAM with an unprecedented opportunity."
 
Grants will be offered to American painters aged 45 or older who demonstrate financial need. The primary emphasis is to promote public awareness and a commitment to American art, as well as encouraging interest in artists who lack adequate recognition. Grants will range from $5,000 to $10,000. Applications are available online at www.paam.org or by calling 508.487.1750. Completed applications must be postmarked by August 16, 2010.
 
Provincetown Art Association and Museum's (PAAM) Lillian Orlowsky / William Freed Museum School (LOWF) serves students of all experience levels, offering year-round programming including workshops, art history lectures, scholarships, and free classes for adults and children, led by professional teaching artists. To register for a class go to www.paam.org or call 508.487.1750.

"What are the filters we've built into the way we see ourselves and others? What is the mask and what is the human being behind it? Where does the human flesh stop and the human being begin? These are the questions that we ask in various ways through our pieces."

                    

                                    

THE ART OF LINDA MURRAY

Is there something greater within all of us?  Yes.  Most people would probably say.  But, can the majority of them artistically record their imaginations and emotions that only exist in their minds and make the unseen visible in paintings? “The truth is we can only make our pictures speak”.  This statement was written by Vincent van Gogh in his last letter, just before his death”.

Art in the Context of Hard Times

Should we look at artists in the context of their time and expect a similar artistic response to hard times of today?

I grew up in the 70s and 80s, with famous artists like Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat.  This was  a period in art history when all eyes were on the pop artists of the 70's to see if they would continue their stroke of genius or collapse in hard times...

THE “HEAVEN CAN WAIT” TEAM Showcased THE WILD & POPULAR

RECONSTRUCTED BRA  FASHION SHOW AND AUCTION

Thursday, April 7 at the Southampton Publick House, 7:00pm

As part of its’ fund raising efforts for the LI2DAY Walk for Breast Cancer, the Heaven Can Wait Team hosted the very popular Reconstructed Bra Fashion Show and Auction. Volunteer designers displayed their fanciful designs – modeled of course by very attractive volunteers – taking the humdrum undergarments and decorating them to the limits of their imagination.  Last year’s show included fanciful designs with feathery boas, orchids and ribbon roses with underpinnings of glistening tinsel, rhinestones, ruffles and animal appliqués which looked like something out of a Disney movie, humorous, sexy and fun.  The designs were auctioned off to raise funds for breast cancer and the bidding was brisk. All bras were successfully sold at The Southampton Publick House

All proceeds from this Heaven Can Wait Team effort benefited local breast health organizations:  Lucia’s Angels, the Coalition for Women’s Cancers at Southampton Hospital and the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center.

PULSE New York 2011 will also continue its series of special projects, with many deeply rooted in the New York area.

Original installations include Molly Dilworth's site-specific painting Field Test (NYC), courtesy of David B. Smith Gallery.

Marrakech Art Fair

October 9 to 11, 2010

Sharing art

The city of Marrakech will be hosting the first edition of the Marrakech Art Fair from 9 to 11 October 2010. A platform for exchanges between gallery owners, artists, and collectors, this unprecedented artistic meeting ground is being organized by Hicham and Zineb Daoudi, and Brahim Alaoui.

For three days, some fifty galleries from Europe, Morocco, and the Arab world, seduced by this new international encounter, will meet at the Es Saadi Palace to present their discoveries.

On the agenda: modern art, contemporary art, and emerging scenes, during an ephemeral leisure staged amidst the patio and garden through works of art from the 20th and 21st centuries. Within special spaces called "Collectors' Villa", the Marrakech Art Fair is also offering a new exhibition concept with a dialogue between contemporary design, decorative arts, and modern art.

The Marrakech Art Fair will establish cultural and artistic synergy throughout the entire city with a programme of exhibitions and meetings offered by Brahim Alaoui.

The programme will emphasize the sharing of art with a diversified audience. The fair will make it possible to discover places having ties to the history of Marrakech and open up foundations and artists' studios to a broad audience, thereby offering them an international forum.

"Resonance: contemporary Moroccan artists across the world"

The Marrakech Museum, founded by art patron Omar Benjelloun and presided over by his spouse Mrs. Naima Benjelloun, is a 19^th century riad located in the heart of the Marrakech medina. It will be part of the programme and will host the exhibition entitled "Resonance: contemporary Moroccan artists across the world", which will consist of contemporary Moroccan artists from the diaspora.

This exhibition will offer 15 artists of Moroccan origin living in Europe and the American continent, who use various types of media: painting, drawing, installation, video, and photography, and who are creating new images connecting the two cultures.

These are primarily artists who, through their individual backgrounds and talents, think of identity and otherness—the here and there—as driving forces for inventiveness and cultural diversity.

They include, for instance, Chourouk Hriech, Mohamed El Baz, Mounir Fatmi,  Bouchra Khalili, and Malik Najmi.

This exhibition is being organized in partnership with the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad.

"Images of oneself", photography and video by contemporary Arab artists

Other locations are being associated with this event, such as the Dar Bellarj Foundation which will host the exhibition "Images of oneself". The idea is, for once, to leave behind the unilateral perspective of images conveyed by the media in favour of a more intimate view of the Arab world, and to adopt the point of view of those who inhabit it, who live everyday, and sometimes through their memory.

"Images of oneself" is a photography and video exhibition from a selection of contemporary Arab artists who bring a unique look at the reality and imagination of the world surrounding them. An unveiling of the intimate, documentary distance, political questioning, or plastic experimentation, the proposed exhibition bears witness to the diverse approaches of a new generation of creators enamored with a new image culture. Here we will find works by Meriem Bouderbala, Faisal Samra, and Youssef Nabil.

"In the shade of the Palaver Tree"

Dar Cherifa, one of the oldest riads in the medina dating back to the end of the 15^th century and now restored and converted into a literary café, has become a meeting place in the heart of the Red City. It is offering for this occasion a thematic exhibition on the dialogue between artist Farid Belkahia and poet Adonis.

Here and there, the cultural effervescence around the Marrakech Art Fair…

- The Al Maqam artist residence, located in Tahannaout in the Marrakech surroundings, will open its doors to the fair's audience.

- The  Fourtou Foundation will also be welcoming the Marrakech Art Fair visitors.

- Also worth discovering: private collections in unique residences to share the passion that their owners feel for contemporary art.

- Round tables will be organized in the lounges of the Es Saadi Palace with reflection themes focusing on the contemporary art market and emerging Arab scene, and on globalization issues, including professionals and people involved with the international art market and the Arab world.

- Lastly, a symposium on art education will be organized in partnership with the Marrakech Graduate School of Visual Arts.

Rogue Space | Chelsea welcomes collaborating artists Joe Mays and Jill Morgan for their one night solo show Thursday July 24th 6-9pm.

Rogue Space | Chelsea is located at 526 West 26th Street, 9E, New York.

Joe and Jill were awarded a solo while participating in our Weekend Group show and Marketing Workshop in February and team up again for the joint exhibition UnMasquerade.

"What are the filters we've built into the way we see ourselves and others? What is the mask and what is the human being behind it? Where does the human flesh stop and the human being begin? These are the questions that we ask in various ways through our pieces."

Sine Nomine Herma - Where the hell is Hermes?

Sculptures and Project Drawings
by Francesco Pessina

Opening: Thursday 1st July 2010  6 to 9pm
Exhibition dates:  2nd July to 7th August 2010

Patrick Heide Contemporary Art is delighted to present “Sine Nomine Herma – Where the hell is Hermes?”, the second solo exhibition of Italian artist Francesco Pessina in London.
The exhibition is mainly dedicated to the artist’s new series of sculptures, Sine Nomine Herma, which subtly tackles the subject of the divine in modern society, or rather its absence as expressed by the subtitle ‘Where the hell is Hermes?’.

In his new sculpture series Pessina refers to a form of Ancient Greek statues called herms, quadrangular pillars surmounted by a head or bust depicting the god Hermes, which functioned as an apotropaic symbol to ward off bad luck.

In Greek mythology Hermes is the great messenger of the gods, the guide to the Underworld and the god of fertility, luck and travel. The herms statues were therefore placed at road crossings, country borders, entrances and other boundaries as a means of divine protection.

Originally the Hermes figures depicted the god itself, later on in Roman times the likenesses of famous figures from public life. In his contemporary take on the herms, Pessina replaces the heads with geometric, phallic and organic shapes chiselled from volcanic stone or red lagoon. Distinct facial features are erased, the form merely suggests their anthropomorphic origin leaving room for the imagination to expand and reveal the divine aspect of the new series.

Pessina very consciously keeps a formal division between the plinth and the head. Superimposed blocks of found wood and synthetic stucco compose the plinth or ‘body’, representing the past of human history as well as our personal experiences, while the head represents the mind that defines the future of our human destiny.

‘My herms are good wishes. They embody the passage between a known and uncomfortable present and an unforeseeable future: we have to work on the present to understand the future…
My herms aim to serve as a warning...’
 
Several project drawings on display will be complementing the sculptures: canvases glued to red wood panels, these sketches bear notes that give insight into the conceptions and ideas of ‘Sine Nomine Herma’.

A large-scale sculpture in red and white onyx from Pessina’s ongoing Totem series was specifically realized for the London exhibition and will be placed in the front gallery alongside a selection of so-called “Bidimensionali”, Pessina’s paintings, wherein the familiar Totem forms are applied in relief, the playful compositions bursting with Mediterranean colors.
 
Born in Magenta (Milan) in 1946, Francesco Pessina studied sculpture at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan and painting at the Ripetta Art Academy in Rome.

In the 1970’s he decided to move to the volcanic island of Filicudi, north of Sicily, where he still lives and works detached from modern city life and the art world. Pessin’a choice of life has led him to become an artist in quest for the anthropological, mystic and spiritual roots of human existence, attempting to expose the essential truth lying at their core.
 
A short film directed by Alessandro Scippa about Francesco Pessina’s life choice as an artist comprising insights into the artist’s research will be screened in the gallery during the show.

June 27, 2010

Until August 25, 2010, at the fourth floor of the spacious Art Gallery of the Yonkers Riverfront Public Library.

The Library's Director, Stephen Force, and the President of the Yonkers Arts Board, Judith Schwartzstein, have confirmed the extension of the Yonkers Artists Showcase to the week ending August 27. 

In these hard times of budget concerns and schedule reduction, this is an important opportunity for the public to still catch this second annual important exhibition.

The show is open and free to the public during Library hours (call the Library for updated schedules).
The fine art examples displayed here represent one fifth of the good quality artists currently living or working in Yonkers. About one third of the present selection is represented by artists belonging to the Blue Door Artist Association, a large group presided by Luis Perelman (also a co-curator). Another third of the group represents the many artists currently working in the YOHO building at Nepperhan Avenue (a self generated assembly of artists from all over, with the common denominator of needing a studio).
The last third includes representation of the most varied sources and varied levels, from Richard Haas, whose frescos beautify Yonkers downtown, high up there in the buildings leading to Main Street, to the latest arrival of eager and young artists from Albania to Puerto Rico.

To acknowledge the quality of this show I need to list all the artists currently showing and we look forward to what next year the third annual will bring us; but do not wait until next year.  Go now to visit the second annual Yonkers Artists Showcase.

Luis ARVELO, Richard BENASH, Ana BERNSTEIN, Haifa BINT-KADI, Jef CAMPION, Gino CIVALE, Liz DE BETHUNE, Arthur DWORIN, David FISCHWEICHER, Ginny FOX, Ralph GABRINER, Mitchell GOSAR, Paul GRECO, George GUTIERREZ, Richard HAAS, Joan JENNINGS, Satish JOSHI, Barbara KING, Jacqueline LORIEO, Leslie MILLER, Alvin MOST, Carole NAGGAR, George PALI, Luis PERELMAN, Albert PFARR, Librado ROMERO, Dena SCHUTZER, Barbara SEGAL, Nat Mayer SHAPIRO, Maxine SHORT, Arline SIMON, Cecily SPITZER, Paulo SUZUKI, Turhan VON BRANDON, Jonathan WALLEN.

Sculpture, collages, mosaic, photography, oil and watercolor paintings, assemblages, woodcuts, constructions, metal works, drawings, special techniques; all aspects of the contemporary fine arts are here. Not-lost-in-Yonkers fine art can still be seen before it shuts down for the Fall.

(NEW YORK, NY – June 24, 2010) — On July 15 the Guggenheim will launch Dark Sounds, a three-part series of live music performances accompanying the exhibition Haunted: Contemporary Photography/Video/Performance, currently on view at the museum through September 6. Produced by Sam Brumbaugh, Special Events Consultant, and Bronwyn Keenan, Associate Director of Special Events, the series takes its thematic cue from the conceptual threads that weave through Haunted, aiming to evoke the exhibition’s elements of melancholy, ghostliness, the uncanny, and our collective and individual obsession with accessing the past. The series title is borrowed from the writings of Montague Rhodes James (1862–1936), who is often described as the father of the modern ghost story.

Dark Sounds kicks off with the richly modernized Balkan gypsy folk of Beirut on Thursday, July 15; followed by Andrew Bird & Ian Schneller’s Sonic Arboretum, a site-specific performance involving violin, looped passages, and a landscape of horn speakers on Thursday, August 5; and then by the deeply melodic, electronic, and jazz-improvised sound of Cinematic Orchestra on Friday, September 3.

The Dark Sounds series is made possible in part by Dr. Martens.

Doors open at 8 pm and guests are encouraged to view the museum exhibitions Haunted: Contemporary Photography/Video/Performance and the Deutsche Bank Series at the Guggenheim Julie Mehretu: Grey Area before the performances, which start at 10 pm in the museum’s famed Frank Lloyd Wright–designed rotunda.

Ticketing
Priced at $25 for members and $30 for nonmembers, tickets are limited and available through advance online ticket sales only at guggenheim.org/darksounds. Beirut tickets will go on sale June 24 for members and June 25 for nonmembers.

Dark Sounds membership package
The museum offers a Dark Sounds membership package, which includes tickets to all three events plus all the benefits of Guggenheim membership for one year, including free, unlimited admission to the museum; invitations to parties and private viewings; and savings at the Guggenheim Store, the Wright, Cafe 3, and on all public programs. The Dark Sounds membership package is available for $125 for one person or $250 for two people and can be purchased by phone at 212 423 3535 or by e-mail at membership@guggenheim.org.


        
BEIRUT
July 15, 2010
Multi-instrumentalist Zach Condon is behind the critically acclaimed American band Beirut, which he formed in Albuquerque in 2006, recruiting friends for the recording of the debut album Gulag Orkestar. Inspired by Condon’s European travels, Gulag Orkestar is deeply influenced by Balkan folk and gypsy music, and features an eclectic array of instruments such as trumpets, ukuleles, glockenspiels, mandolins, violins, and cellos. The album was almost entirely recorded in Condon’s bedroom. For Beirut’s second full-length album, The Flying Club Cup (2007), Condon drew from the Gallic tradition of Chanson Française to produce an LP that revisits and reinterprets the wistful genre through a unique blend of rich vocals and layered accordions, horns, violins, piano, brass, and bass. Beirut also produced a full-length double EP, March of the Zapotec/Holland (2009), and three additional EPs. Known for their memorable live shows, Beirut performs with a varying number of members, ranging from 6 to 10.

        
ANDREW BIRD AND IAN SCHNELLER
August 5, 2010
Andrew Bird is a Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist and lyricist known for his experimental forays into pop music that incorporate elements of gypsy jazz, classical, folk, and country blues traditions. Bird has released nine albums since 1996. In a live setting, passages of violin, guitar, voice, and glockenspiel are looped and layered, crafting melodic hooks and rhythms from spontaneous stabs and strums. For Dark Sounds, Bird will collaborate with sculptor, inventor, and luthier Ian Schneller of Specimen Products to present Andrew Bird & Ian Schneller’s Sonic Arboretum, an audiovisual landscape featuring audio sculptures scattered around the rotunda floor that project sound skyward. Schneller has been designing and building his own line of custom guitars, tube amplifiers, and audio horn speakers for more than 25 years. With a master’s degree in sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, his creations are sonic, kinetic, structural investigations that blend modern and vintage aesthetics and technology. Alone, the sculptures vaguely resemble a union of Victrola speakers and plant life, while Sonic Arboretum’s cumulative effect evokes a symphonic field of poppies, a prairie of sound, a forest floor of hornlings—all parts of one “ecosystem.”

        
CINEMATIC ORCHESTRA
September 3, 2010
For Jason Swinscoe, founder of the Cinematic Orchestra, working life began at Ninja Tune, the London-based independent record label. By day, Swinscoe distributed records while by night he developed a unique sound that would eventually evolve into the Cinematic Orchestra. Swinscoe introduced other like-minded musicians to the act and soon after, a string of albums emerged. Following their 1999 debut album Motion they have released Every Day (2002), Man With A Camera (2003), and Ma Fleur (2007), as well as the soundtrack The Crimson Wing for DisneyNature (2009), Live at the Royal Albert Hall (2008), Remixes 1998–2000 (2000), and Late Night Tales, a compilation (2010). Cinematic Orchestra’s diverse, imaginative, jazz-improvised, electronic approach was praised by Uncut magazine as “every hard-boiled, neon-lit Hollywood thriller you’ve ever seen.”

This summer, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), Chicago, premieres the major traveling exhibition Alexander Calder and Contemporary Art: Form, Balance, Joy, the first exhibition to assess Calder's influence on the new generation of contemporary sculptors. The presentation of sixty of Calder's iconic works is mounted along with approximately twenty sculptures by seven contemporary artists who have been directly influenced by Calder: Martin Boyce, Nathan Carter, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Aaron Curry, Kristi Lippire, Jason Meadows, and Jason Middlebrook.
 
Calder has long been a popular and beloved modernist master, but it is only recently that young contemporary artists have turned to his work and its example of hands-on explorations of form, balance, color, and movement. "One of the most vital and interesting dialogues happening in the art world today is how the influence of the modernist generation of artists is increasingly becoming the basis for the creation of relevant and compelling art by contemporary artists," says MCA Curator Lynne Warren.

NEW YORK WOMEN IN FILM & TELEVISION

MUSE AWARDS 2011

The New York Women in Film & Television - Muse Awards December 7th, 2011 Luncheon was a sparkling success this year as the award recipients for Outstanding Vision and Achievement: Christine Baranski, Marcie Bloom, Claire Danes, Nadine Shelby Schramm, Martha Stewart are pictured below. All spoke of their seeds of inspirations and how they arrived at their accomplishments today, supported by women within the film industry. Each noted how women can effect change within the standard practices of the industry.

Nadine Shelby spoke of how their was no glass ceiling barring her accomplishments when she took on her husband's business after his passing in 1991. She took over the reins of Budd Enterprises to moving the 7 truck enterprise to a 70 truck, tractor, and trailer business, while working with the teamsters union to service the film industry.

Marcie Bloom spoke of her co-founding Sony Classic Pictures, surviving her massive cerebral damage and going on to develop the IFP - Marcie Bloom Fellowship in Film, a New York based mentoring program designed to introduce college seniors and recent graduates into the film industry.

Christine Baranski, an honored Tony, Emmy, Screen Actors Guild, and American Comedy Award winner spoke of encouraging young women to view themselves as a priceless. Ms. Baranski reminisced about the turns and twists in her career and the longevity, which is unusual in film for women, of affording her desirable roles in today's industry. Christine's energy and love of her performance art came across as a toast of delightful holiday cheer.

A radiant Martha Stewart graciously thanked all those along her career path from Julia Child and all other working chefs, as she developed the broad strokes Omnimedia would one day encompass. Her vision and entrepreneurial spirit changed the way people view crafting, home-making, cooking, entertaining, and decorating. Martha is grateful to her audience, guests, the Hallmark channel for supporting her and providing her the current venue in New York for her current television show.

The beautiful Claire Danes, a New York child actress, daughter of a painter, spoke of her time growing up in Manhattan and the influence the arts within the city had provided for her maturing career. Recognized as a contemporary classical actress of stature, Claire spoke of her impression that there is a camaraderie among women actresses, lack of a competitive undermining, and a willingness to pull together and assist and aid one another along their career paths.

With the continued exponential growth of quality online video, Vimeo is recognizing four new categories:   ·      Fashion: Fashion photographers are exploring creative filmmaking, blurring the line between fashion and art. Similarly, designers are able to bring to life the mood and inspiration behind their collections in greater detail and with more emotion than through still photos.    ·      Action Sports: As lightweight, durable, and wearable HD cameras have become more accessible, adventurers, athletes, and documentarians can go anywhere while filming it all.   ·      Advertising: Due to the high volume of content online, advertisers have been forced to become increasingly creative in order to reach audiences.

NEW YORK, February 7, 2013 – The Armory Show, New York’s premier art fair for modern and contemporary art, is proud to announce the members of its inaugural Centennial Committee and a distinctive network of Cultural Partners to mark the 100th anniversary of the fair’s namesake, the legendary Armory Show of 1913.

The Committee has been established to recognize the support and long standing commitment of a group of leading American and international collectors, including:  Lawrence B. Benenson, Peter M. Brant, Laura Lee Brown and Steve Wilson, Beth Rudin DeWoody, Florence and Daniel Guerlain, Agnes Gund, Susan and Michael Hort, Barbara and Aaron Levine, Eugenio López, Donald B. Marron, Wendy Murdoch, Tony Podesta, Jennifer Stockman, Benedikt Taschen, John Waters, and Anita and Poju Zabludowicz.

"For me, the most exciting art expresses new ideas and breaks advanced ground. For this reason I love The Armory Show and I’m honored to join the Centennial Committee to celebrate the history of the avant-garde. In the company of the other members, I will see the latest art from all over the world, feeding both my eyes and my brain,” says collector and philanthropist Jarl Mohn.

Manuela Paz, Director of VIP Relations at The Armory Show notes, “It is an absolute privilege to herald the centennial of the original Armory Show of 1913 with such a strong, international roster of dedicated collectors. Through the enthusiasm of patrons, the spirit of the avant-garde has been able to flourish here in the United States in ways that our predecessors could have hardly imagined.”

The participation of key New York and international institutions has transformed The Armory Show into an art world destination. Several of the fair’s Cultural Partners, including the Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the High Museum in Atlanta, the Montclair Art Museum and the New-York Historical Society, will be hosting centennial-themed exhibitions that examine the legacy of the 1913 Armory Show. New affiliations for the 2013 edition have been formed with Art21, CCS Bard, The Courtauld Institute, The French Institute Alliance Française, Performa, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, and The Andy Warhol Museum.

The Armory Show headlines Armory Arts Week, March 7-10, 2013.

NEW PARRISH ART MUSEUM TO OPEN WITH FIRST-EVER
INSTALLATION OF WORKS FROM THE PARRISH’S COLLECTION

Skylit Galleries Showcase American Art from Mid-1800s to Present
SOUTHAMPTON, NY 5/22/2012 — The Parrish Art Museum will open the doors
to its new building in Water Mill on November 10, 2012, with installations of works
from its outstanding permanent collection on view for the first time in its 115-year
history. Ranging in date from the nineteenth century to the present, the Parrish’s
holdings include more than 2,600 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper by
many of America’s most influential artists.

The inaugural installation of the collection in the Parrish’s new building,
established in a series of skylit rooms, will focus on the leading characteristics of
the Museum’s permanent collection. Each gallery will provide a narrative framework
within which visitors can see and experience masterworks of art, organized to
convey and celebrate the story of America’s most enduring and influential artists’
colony: Eastern Long Island. The four overarching concepts that provide the
foundation for this installation are: 1) highlighting the strengths of the Museum’s
in-depth holdings; 2) exploring specific relevant themes; 3) focusing on an
individual artist and his or her studio practice; and 4) presenting a cohesive
narrative of American art, with particular attention to important movements in art
history as they have developed among this unprecedented group of artists.
Viewed as a changing portfolio rather than a fixed presentation, the
installation will begin with art from the 1970s to the present, bringing to the fore
the brightest exemplars of artists working today on the East End, including many of
the so-called Process generation such as Chuck Close, Lynda Benglis, Mary
Heilmann, Malcolm Morley, Alan Shields, Keith Sonnier, and Joe Zucker, as well as
those succeeding artists who returned to figuration, including Ross Bleckner, April
Gornik, and Donald Sultan.

A gallery dedicated to the Parrish’s strong holdings in landscape paintings will
take as its theme American Views, bringing together works by nineteenth-century
masters including William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, John Frederick
Twachtman, and twentieth-century practitioners including Jane Freilicher, Sheridan
Lord, and Jane Wilson.

The Parrish’s in-depth holdings of two preeminent American artists, William
Merritt Chase and Fairfield Porter, are surveyed in adjoining galleries. Chase was a
portraitist and landscape artist virtually unequaled in his day, and the gallery will
feature several masterworks as well as photographs from the Museum’s extensive
William Merritt Chase Archives. Also included will be a range of works by Porter, the
preeminent twentieth-century realist painter, who moved to Southampton in 1949.
In his writings as art critic, Porter expressed his admiration for the Abstract
Expressionists, particularly Willem de Kooning, yet maintained a steadfast figurative
vision throughout his work. Several of his paintings illuminate the inspiration he
found in the surrounding landscape of the East End and among his friends and
colleagues. As with Chase’s work, Porter’s creative approach will be framed by
archival materials, including sketchbooks and photographs. The Museum has
published a fully illustrated and highly informative book, Fairfield Porter Raw:
The Creative Process of an American Master, that will be available through the
Museum store.

Esteban Vicente: Portrait of the Artist is the first in a series of gallery
installations that will pinpoint a single artist and his studio practice. This lyrical
abstractionist arrived in America in 1936, schooled in the old world academic
tradition of his native Spain and fresh from a sojourn in the heady milieu of 1920s
Paris. Yet his openness to new influences and to new friendships, including those
with artists Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Mark Rothko, assured his
critical role in the evolution of Abstract-Expressionist discourse in 1940s and 50s
New York. Paintings and works on paper, along with ancillary materials to further
illuminate Vicente’s life and career, will be on view.

In the Company of Friends will look at creativity and connectivity among
artists who came to prominence in the 1950s and 60s, when the response to
Abstract Expressionism took a multiplicity of forms, including Minimalism and Pop.
Works by Dan Flavin, Roy Lichtenstein, Alfonso Ossorio, Larry Rivers, and Leon Polk
Smith will be featured.

The interior Spine Galleries run the length of the exhibition space and provide
an intimate setting for viewing smaller-scaled works on paper and the opportunity
to focus in on a variety of themes. The Artist in the Studio will bring together
images that convey the nexus of creative activity in photographs of William Merritt
Chase, Fairfield Porter, and Roy Lichtenstein, among others.

In Jean-Luc Mylane the focus will be on a suite of the well-known French
photographer’s recent photographs of the Texas landscape and its avian inhabitants
that links the plein-air tradition to thoroughly contemporary practice.
The light and landscape of Eastern Long Island have drawn artists to the
region since the Long Island Railroad extended its service to Southampton in 1870.
Members of New York’s Tile Club visited Bridgehampton, East Hampton, Montauk,
Greenport, and Shelter Island in 1878, and William Merritt Chase established the
Shinnecock Hills Summer School of Art, the first school in America devoted to pleinair
painting, in 1891.

World War II saw the departure of many notable artists from Europe to the
United States, and many of these émigrés, among them Max Ernst, André Breton,
and Marcel Duchamp, visited the East End. American artists of the New York School
followed, such as Robert Motherwell, Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem de
Kooning, and Esteban Vicente. For the past 60 years, the East End has been home
to a veritable pantheon of modern and contemporary artists, among them Fairfield
Porter, Larry Rivers, Jane Freilicher, Roy Lichtenstein, April Gornik, Cindy Sherman,

The Parrish’s core mission is to celebrate the art of Eastern Long Island, both
past and present, and its profound influence on the modern visual imagination. The
Museum’s holdings, which include important works by the abovementioned and
other seminal artists who have lived and worked in the region, reflect this objective.

State Council on the Arts, celebrating 50 years of building strong, creative communities in
New York State's 62 counties, and the property taxpayers from the Southampton School
District and the Tuckahoe Common School District.

About the Parrish Art Museum
The Parrish Art Museum is located in Southampton, New York. Founded in 1897, the
Museum celebrates the artistic legacy of Long Island’s East End, one of America’s most vital
creative centers. Since the mid-1950s the Museum has grown from a small village art
gallery into an important art museum with a collection of more than 2,600 works of art from
the nineteenth century to the present. It includes such contemporary painters and sculptors
as John Chamberlain, Chuck Close, Eric Fischl, April Gornik, Elizabeth Peyton, as well as
such masters as Dan Flavin, Roy Lichtenstein, Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, and Willem de
Kooning. The Parrish houses important collections of works by the American Impressionist
William Merritt Chase and the post-war American realist Fairfield Porter. A vital cultural
resource serving a diverse audience, the Parrish organizes and presents changing
exhibitions and offers a dynamic schedule of creative and engaging public programs
including lectures, films, performances, concerts, and studio classes for all ages. On July 19,
2010, the Parrish broke ground on a new building designed by internationally acclaimed
Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron. The 34,400-square-foot facility will triple the
Museum’s current exhibition space and allow for the simultaneous presentation of loan
exhibitions and installations drawn from the permanent collection. The new building opens
November 10, 2012.
