Ashland, OR.- The Schneider Museum of Art is proud to present "Views from
the
Inner Eye". Opening with a public reception on Thursday, June 16, 5-7pm,
the
Schneider Museum of Art will present "Views from the Inner Eye", their
summer
offering of three one-person exhibitions including, "Morris Graves: From
the
collection of the Vellutini Family", "Ellen Van Fleet: Barred Rock Bantams"
and "M.R. Renjan: Reverberating Echoes". These shows will run through
Friday,
August 26th. All three shows are examples of the expressive tradition in
the
arts. Each of the artists has created works that reflect their interior
state of being; this is the source, the wellspring of their art. Each
seeks
to give us a new way to look at and experience the world.
Morris Graves (1910-2001) helped establish a place for visionary painting
in
the annals of twentieth-century American art. Primarily a self-taught
artist, Graves rejected the bravura aesthetic of the Abstract
Expressionists,
and the realist concerns of the Regionalists, in favor of a mystical art in
which he sought to convey the inner soul of his subject. Executed in a
semi-abstract style that evoked the subtleties of traditional Chinese
painting, Graves's work reflects his own transcendental inclinations
coupled
with the impact of East Asian philosophies. Graves lived the last four
decades of his life in Loleta, along the northern California coast. During
his years there he developed a lasting friendship with the Vellutini family
(Ray, Dolores and their children Andrea and Joseph), and they in turn
amassed
a collection of works by their friend. All the works on view are now also
members of the family, works they have lived and grown up with and viewed
so
often they Œcan be seen in their sleep.¹ But they have never kept the
collection just to themselves.
The Vellutini¹s have contributed works to collections and shows up and down
the West Coast. And we are ever so grateful for their generosity in loaning
a
show to the Schneider Museum. Ellen Van Fleet is showing large, often
collaged, abstract watercolors&lsqauo;many of them based on her observations of
Barred Rock Bantams. But these are not merely illustrations of chickens.
As
she states: "For over 30 I have been a visual artist following the threads
of
ideas through corridors opening and closing in the folds of my brain. I am
stimulated by what catches my attention and what stimulates me I do;
visually
anyway. It has all been quite simple. There has been no other activity I do
that has the snorty cavorting horse feeling that an unfolding work of art
has. Art is using all that interesting accumulation of skill and Homo
sapiens
chance development, toward the possibility of expressing human visual
mystery".
M.R. Renjan is from Kerala state in India, and now teaches art in Delhi.
While Renjan is no outsider to whatever is deemed 'modernism', the
imaginative
qualities that he frequently seems to project in his works are drawn from a
still living cultural tradition, as reflected in Indian dance forms,
especially those of Kerala. His images are of dramatic suspense, where the
natural and the supernatural are engaged in a tête-à-tête. The works owe
little to the appearance of observed reality. His predisposition towards
envisioning the Pandora¹s box of the inner world is timely. He manifests
it
as charged with the traces of the fabulous, a theatre of pregnant meanings,
surprising possibilities, of strange specters and visitations.
The Schneider Museum of Art is a result of a community campaign which was
completed by a generous donation by Bill and Florence Schneider. In 1980 the
Southern Oregon State College (now known as Southern Oregon University)
development program, formulated by the SOSC Foundation, initiated the idea
and the goal to establish an art museum and gallery on the SOSC campus.
They
felt it was time to bring a strong presence of the visual arts to the
valley
to complement the theatre and music programs that were already in
existence.
With support from the college the Foundation began the process to implement
that program and formed the art museum committee. In 1982 the State Board
of
Higher Education authorized construction of a museum on campus, with
funding
to be provided by private donations. During this time benefits and
fundraisers were held to raise money for the museum. In 1983 the Schneiders
announced their major gift to the museum ensuring its completion. The State
Board approved the naming of the museum for Samuel and May Schneider,
parents
of Bill Schneider, on July 22, 1983. The Museum was designed by the late
Will Martin, who was a Portland architect. Will Martin¹s architectural
style
was dedicated to the idea that man-made things should complement nature,
even
emulate it, but never compete with it. The museum opened its doors to the
public in the fall of 1986. Over the next ten years the museum continued to
grow and to flourish. In 1995 a second phase of construction was
contemplated
for the museum to add two new galleries and adequate office space for the
staff. Funding was once again acquired from private donors, and the new
wings
of the museum opened in January 1997. The dream is now a reality. With the
opening of SOU's Center for the Visual Arts, the Schneider Museum of Art,
plays a central role in this exciting new complex bringing compelling and
challenging exhibits to southern Oregon, along with a rich spectrum of
programming that includes workshops, family days, lectures, performances,
and
concerts. Visit the museum's website at ... http://www.sou.edu/sma/

Storrs, CT.- The Benton Museum of Art at the University of Connecticut is
currently showing "The Colored Woodcut in 19th-Century Japan: Edo and
Osaka"
until August 7th. The colored woodcut was ubiquitous in 19th-century Japan,
and for Europeans a source of artistic influence and of pleasure in
collecting them. The late 19th-century artistic influence of the woodcut lay
in its disavowal of Western perspective, an ingrained facility for
two-dimensional patterning, and an unwavering sense of coloration. The
pleasure of collecting the color woodcuts in the late 19th and 20th
centuries
lay in a more profound interest in Asian arts, Chinese as well as Japanese,
than had been expressed by the decoratively brilliant but very western
Chinoiserie of the 18th century.

Pasadena, CA.- The Pasadena Museum of California Art (PMCA) is currently
exhibiting the first museum exhibition that joins the work created by Los
Angeles graffiti artists for a fine art context with their graffiti art
made
in the streets. Internationally renowned as one of the most fertile grounds
for graffiti art, the City of Angels has its own idiosyncratic graffiti
styles created from the innovative New York ³wildstyle² that heralded the
birth of graffiti as it is seen today, filtered through local influences
such
as gang writing styles that greatly predate the modern movement. "Street
Cred: Graffiti Art from Concrete to Canvas" is on view at the museum until
September 4th.

TORONTO.- The Institute for Contemporary Culture (ICC) at the Royal Ontario
Museum (ROM) presents the North American debut of Bollywood Cinema
Showcards:
Indian Film Art from the 1950s to the 1980s, a visual journey through the
history of Bollywood advertising. Curated by Deepali Dewan for the ICC at
the
ROM in collaboration with the Hartwick Collection, Bollywood Cinema
Showcards
will be on view in the special exhibitions gallery on Level 3 of the Museum
from June 11th to October 2nd.
³Bollywood Cinema Showcards is a unique opportunity for visitors to see
this
rare collection of vintage cinematic art, bringing early Bollywood culture
and design to life,² said Janet Carding, ROM Director and CEO. ³I'm
delighted
that the ROM is contributing in such as significant way to this year-long
celebration of India in Canada and the Bollywood experience in Toronto
surrounding the International Indian Film Academy Awards.²
Bollywood cinema is deeply rooted in the cultural traditions of the East,
and
has become a growing fascination among art, film and pop-culture
enthusiasts
across the West. ROM curator of South Asian Arts & Culture, Dr. Deepali
Dewan, states, ³This exhibition provides a rare opportunity to explore the
evolution of a specific form of advertising associated with the Hindi
commercial cinema centered around Mumbai. These showcards combine paint and
photography and are a unique aspect of South Asian visual culture,
following
their equally as remarkable predecessors Indian Painted Photographs. They
were originally produced by local artists but usually thrown out at the end
of a film¹s run. It is remarkable that this collection has survived at
all.²
Bollywood Cinema Showcards embodies the quirky and colorful style of
India¹s
cinematic culture with a display of rare, vintage showcards&lsqauo;colorful hand
painted photo collages commissioned to advertise the release of Bollywood
films, originally exhibited in display cases outside cinema theatres.
The exhibition features over 120 works, including 77 original showcards
from
the private collection of Angela Hartwick and a selection of posters, lobby
cards and film booklets from the ROM¹s permanent collection. The
installation
will be organized chronologically, tracing the aesthetic and thematic
evolution of Bollywood graphic design as seen in its advertising, from the
years after India¹s independence in 1947 through the liberalization of
India¹s economic policies in the early 1990s.
The exhibition coincides with another North American debut&lsqauo;International
Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards in Toronto&lsqauo;providing an interesting
historical context to modern day Indian cinema. Bollywood Cinema Showcards
also contributes to the national celebration of 2011 as the Year of India
in
Canada, as designated by a bilateral treaty between India and Canada.
Bollywood Hero Legacy Project
To celebrate Bollywood Cinema Showcards, the ROM will install a 15 x 36-ft.
billboard titled Bollywood Hero, a theme that focuses on the recurring role
of the male hero in most Bollywood films. Commissioned specifically for the
Museum from Suresh Sandal Arts, a studio in Bombay, India, the work of art
will be installed in the Hyacinth Gloria Chen Court and will remain on view
until October 2nd. Following the exhibition it will reside in the ROM¹s
permanent collection.

The Wallraf-Richartz Museum is one of the great traditional art galleries in
Germany. It is located in Cologne, Germany and houses a collection of fine
art
from the medieval period to the early twentieth century. Part of its
collection was used for the establishment of Museum Ludwig in 1976. The
museum
lies at the heart of the Old Town, within view of the cathedral, right next
to
the historical city hall. Virtually every school of style and historical
period of European painting is also represented here, from the Dutch masters
to the late Impressionists of France. The Cologne merchant Johann Heinrich
Richartz (1795-1861), who gave his name to the museum, supported the first
public museum building which was opened in 1861. After the destruction of
the
building in the Second World War the museum was housed in 1957 in a new
building designed by Rudolf Schwarz and Josef Bernard. After a few years in
a
modern museum building, which from1986 housed both the
Wallraf-Richartz-Museum
and the Museum Ludwig, at the beginning of 2001 the museum moved into a new
building designed by Oswald Mathias Ungers. A ³permanent loan² of numerous
Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings by the Swiss collector Gerard
Corboud was made a short time later. The new building in the quarter between
the town hall and Gürzenich stands on an important site in the history of
art:
In the Middle Ages this was the artistic centre of the cathedral city with
the
workshops of the goldsmiths and painters of Cologne. Once the museum moved
into their modern new building in 2001 the name was changed for marketing
purposes to: "Wallraf, The Museum." Visitors approaching the museum from the
cathedral come up against a quiet façade of classical proportions, built on
the basis of the ancient canons on a massive basalt base, marked with a
series
of windows. The facade is then developed toward the top as a blind wall with
only a few panoramic windows all in a row in one corner. The smooth, clear
upper wall, corresponding to the exhibition halls, is the result of
geometric
partitioning of the artistic work of Ian Hamilton Finlay. Rectangular slabs
of
slate arranged in two parallel rows are repeated at intervals all over the
tuff block of the complex, revealing to passers-by the names of the artists
whose works are kept in that area. On the western side, the building is
divided into three staggered towers echoing the church bell tower: they
house
offices and a multifunctional hall and are clearly separated from the museum
block itself. The entrance immediately evident from outside, follows the
path
of the old medieval road where artist Stefan Lochner lived and on the
underground floor.

New Britain, CT.- Until July 3rd 2011 the New Britain Museum of American
Art¹s McKernan Gallery features 'An American Odyssey: The Warner Collection
of American Art'. The exhibition is composed of works from the personal
collection of Jonathan ³Jack² Warner and his wife Susan Austin Warner and
the
collection of The Warner Foundation. Jack Warner started his private
collection in the 1950s when he bought a series of prints by John James
Audubon (1785-1851). Today the Warner Collection is one of the premiere
collections of American art in the world. Warner¹s collection reflects his
belief in learning American history through art and his passion for
America.

ZURICH.- Today, 60 years after it first saw the light of day, Emil Bührle¹s
is
still one of the leading collections of 20th-century art. It focuses on
French
Impressionist painting, which has always enjoyed vivid interest in
Switzerland
and is also represented in the Kunsthaus Zürich¹s own collection. At the
Bührle Collection¹s current home, however, in Zurich¹s Zollikerstrasse, the
private collection had been seen annually by no more than 10,000 visitors
before even those numbers dwindled to just a few hundred following the
notorious robbery in February of 2008. The Kunsthaus, on the other hand,
welcomes between 200,000 and 300,000 guests each year, eager to view its
examples of French painting and of the schools that preceded and followed
it.

Posted: 11 Jun 2011 07:37 PM PDT BERLIN.- As the international tour of the
last Gilbert & George retrospective (20072009) did not include Berlin,
Arndt
& Partner are now presenting a solo exhibition of the celebrity artist duo
in
its gallery rooms behind the Hamburger Bahnhof. It is the first Gilbert &
George solo show in Berlin for 14 years. The exhibition features a selection
of 20 large-scale pieces from the Jack Freak Pictures, the largest Gilbert &
George group of pictures to date. The thrust of the content is given by the
colors and shapes of the Union Jack flag that dominate the bulk of the
pictures as well as the recurring motive of medals, emblems and trees. In
the
Jack Freak Pictures the artist duo explores aspects of nationhood and of the
sentient individual in the nets of society. In his essay published in the
catalogue accompanying the exhibition the British writer Michael Bracewell
describes these pictures as ³the most iconic, philosophically astute and
visually violent works that Gilbert & George have ever created...² On view
16
June through 18 September, 2009.

NAPLES,
ITALY - A solo exhibit of the works of photographer Martin Parr was
inaugurated at Studio Trisorio in Naples, at via Riviera di Chiaia 215.
Since
the start of his career, Martin Parr has been fascinated with social
behaviour, the manner in which people furnish their homes, the foods they
choose to eat, the clothes they choose to wear and the places they choose to
go on holiday. As he catalogued these everyday routines, his vision became
increasing keen and ironic. On exhibition through 28 May, 2910.

Southfield-based Park West Gallery took a $500,000 hit Wednesday in a legal
brawl with a Phoenix-based Web site that said the gallery defrauded
customers
in art auctions aboard cruise ships."The verdict vindicates everything my
client ever said about Park West," Farmington Hills lawyer Donald Payton
said
after a federal jury in Port Huron awarded $500,000 to Global Fine Arts
Registry and its founder, Theresa Franks, for trademark violations involving
registry Web sites.
