| GOOD ART,
BAD ART
<---Some *Bad Art* from The
Museum of Bad Art, in Dedham, MA, to counter the abundance of good art below
and to counter the endless rain. Because truly bad art is like a sunny day and
we could all use that.
PORTRAITURE #10
Peter the Kitty Oil on board by Mrs.
Jackson
10.5"x7"
Acquired from Salvation Army Thrift Store, Hyde Park by
Scott Wilson
Stirring in its portayal of feline angst. Is Peter hungry or
contemplating his place in a hungry world? The artist has evoked both
hopelessness and glee with his irrational use of negative space.
PORTRAITURE #3 Mama and Babe
Acrylic on canvas by Sarah
Irani, 1995
24"x30"
Donated by the artist
The flesh tones bring to
mind the top shelf liqueurs of a border bistro. With an astonishing emphasis on
facial bone structure, the artist flirts with caricature and captures features
of Mamma's face which remind us of a former First Lady. The upright marionettish
pose of the babe hints that the early bond between mother and child is as formal
as it is familiar. Good old fashioned parental respect is at the center of this
celebration of color and contour.
LANDSCAPE #6
Dog
Acrylic
on canvas by Unknown
Donated by Elizabeth and Sorn Poeckle, Copenhagen,
Denmark
A remarkable fusion of ski resort and wolf puppy -- stoical in
his yellow-eyed silence, frozen beneath the ice-capped peak, "Dog" eloquently
challenges the viewer to reexamine old concepts of
landscape.
ASSEMBLAGE #9
The Futility of Man
Insulated
Glove, Air, Inflator, Hook and Pile, O-ring
18"x22"
Found in my Lab Safety
Supply Catalog
The glove seems to signify the futility of man in its
yearning posture, bleak visage and robotic yet anguished, splayed fingers.
Clearly an homage to the dark side of the human psyche, the G-99 inflator looms
menacingly nearby, tilted inquisitively toward the glove yet simultaneously
apathetic to the plight of the glove. The G-99 strings signify its own struggle
against the bondage of its physical being and its unwillingness to acknowlegde
its own capacity for empathy, exploring instead its inner voyeuristic leaning
toward predatory opportunism.
THIS
FRIDAY-A FABULOUS SHOW AT NHS FOR A GOOD CAUSE Benefit for
the Florence Learning Center - Silk Voices: Survival Through the Arts
 <---Sadly
this MASTERPIECE will not be at the high school for the show Friday night but
there will be great art and great fun. See you there? This show is going to be
fantastic!
Friday, May 19th, 7-9pm
Northampton High School
auditorium
380 Elm Street
Northampton, MA 01060
On May 19th,
Florence Learning Center, Northampton's public alternative high school, is
hosting a benefit for the Northampton Survival Center. Silk Voices - an evening
of community arts that brings together professional and student performers of
various ages, genres and backgrounds features song, dance, poetry, yo-yo, belly
dance, hip-hop, fashion, circus arts and more.
Special guests
include: internationally touring folk poet Alix Olson, veteran musician and
community educator Evelyn Harris, formerly of Sweet Honey and the Rock, and
Worcester Magazine’s #1 hip hop band The Alchemystics. Student performers
include: Nick Gumlaw, internationally ranked yo-yo competitor, Theresa Harvey,
local up and coming fashion designer, Peejay Delgado of Youth Leadership for the
Arts, and classical pianist, Ben Naismith.
Students of the Florence
Learning Center will share the stage with professional artists at the
Northampton High School auditorium to create a collaborative evening of art in
the fight against local poverty and hunger.
Proceeds from the event will
support the Northampton Survival Center and academic programming at Florence
Learning Center. Generous donations are deeply appreciated.
Ticket
prices start at $5 (the average cost of about 2 pounds of food at the
grocery store) but please give what you can. The annual cost of running the
Survival Center and distributing over 420,000 pounds of food for a year is
$227,000. We’re hoping to raise $3000 in support of powerful, action- focused
education in the fight against local hunger.
To reserve tickets or
find out more information, please call The Florence Learning Center at 413-587-
1412.
This event is organized and produced by the Florence Learning
Center, a diverse alternative academic community of creative and talented young
people.
From
Jane Lohman: we're hoping to pack the house. Our students thought it
would be cool to have visual arts in the lobby for people arriving early and
during the intermission. I know the notice is short, but the space is small. The
artists would not have to donate anything that they make (if they sell a piece)
to the Survival Center (unless they wanted to, of course), but they could just
have the chance to show and spruce up our engagement at the same time.
So,
May 19, 7-9 p.m. at NHS Arts Showcase event (Silk Voices is the title).
Invitation to artists to show work in lobby setting for what we hope will be a
packed house of arts enthusiasts.
The only restriction (per the
principal) is that it's a "family event". 3d is great (bring your own pedestal
if one is needed), and drop-off around 4-ish/ pick up around 9:30 p.m. that
night would be good. We'll be there having an "after party" that artists are
welcome to join -- nothing fancy...very basic. (pizza, cookies, etc.)
Thanks
for setting the lead over there.

OPEN HOUSE
AT THE CUP & TOP CAFE IN FLORENCE Friday, May
19th 5-7pm
 Open House
& Art-Friday, May 19th 5-7pm
Join us as we inaugurate our new evening
hours and celebrate the work of three local artists including Stephanie
Cramer, Wayne Gagnon and Karen Kelly.
When we selected Stephanie
Cramer for our first art showing at the CUP AND TOP we did it because we knew
she would grab attention. We love the boldness and vitality of her work
depicting the human form in vibrant red and blue hues.
Wayne Gagnon's
Picasso-esque pastel creatures enliven our playspace and keep watch over our
youngest patrons.
And every day we hear customers laugh out loud as they
encounter Karen Kelly's realistic tabletop paintings of car keys, grocery lists
and board games.
Bring the family to the CUP AND TOP May 19th from
5-7pm to join us in a show of appreciation.

Dwight
Smith's Movie Picks Decidedly
colorful with a tough of angst
 2046
Several years in the making and highly anticipated, "2046" (2004) should
pacify director Wong Kar Wai's fans, at least, for its end-of-an-era feel and
look. At its core, this is a decidedly (or deceptively) simple movie, in spite
of its fractured and non-linear narrative. It tells the tale of an emotionally
wrecked man, Chow Mo Wan (played by Tony Leung), a reprised character from
Wong's critically acclaimed earlier oeuver, "In the Mood for Love (2000)", and
the many beautiful women he keeps and fails to keep, in a time-space continuance
that is laden with sepia-tinted memories: a monologue, if you will, of Chow's
torrid love affairs, love spats, and the ensuing heartbreaks resulting, no
doubt, from the pangs of a failed liaison Chow is trying to escape. It'd appear
that the failed relation with Su Lizhen (Maggie Cheung) in "In the Mood for
Love", who has a "special appearance" in this film, has changed Chow
irrevocably, which is key to understanding Chow's troubled soul.

LINKS TO
FRIENDS OF THE NEWSLETTER AND PEOPLE I LOVE Send me your
link. Active subscribers and fab people need apply.
The links
section has been a really nice surprise. The stats show that everyone is looking
at everyone else's art in high numbers. And then (and there's always an "and
then"), when I post the newsletter on my site every week the links repeat and as
a result everyone has multiple links pointing to their site which means they get
a higher search rank return.
