Mark Edward Harris : The Art of the Japanese Bath
Kopeikin Gallery -
West Hollywood, CA USA United States of America
 Ten percent of the world's volcanic activity occurs in Japan. While all that geothermal activity has set off devastating volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and earthquakes they have also provided the 127 million inhabitants of the island nation on the "Ring of Fire" with a very unique way of life. The 20,00 thermal hot springs that flow from the ground have become meccas. An estimated 100 million people check in each year at Japanese style inns and hotels to bath in various pool,springs and spas. Read Indepth Article

Alexis Harding : Bi-product Depositories
Mummery + Schnelle Gallery -
London, UK United Kingdom
 Mummery + Schnelle is pleased to present a project by Alexis Harding. For the past six years Harding has been using the plain cardboard covers of a 2003 catalogue of his work as drawing boards and depositories for the bi-product of his studio practice. Now numbering 120, these studies will be installed on one wall of the main gallery space at Mummery + Schnelle. Collectively they act as companions to the paintings made over the same period and provide a unique insight into Harding's thoughts and working processes.

INTIMACY AND DESECRATION : The Body, Gender and Identity
CACT - centro d'arte contemporanea ticino -
Bellinzona, CH Switzerland
 The CACT - Centre of Contemporary Art in Canton Ticino - is hosting an exhibition entitled INTIMACY AND DESECRATION, a further stone that the institution based in Bellinzona now adds to its programme of investigations into the body and the dynamics of gender and identity in general. This exhibition takes the form of an analysis poised between pragmatism and vision, rationality and emotion, in which such artists as De Pinto, Raidpere and Zmijewski develop on their themes from an historical and analytical vantage point.

der PROZESS : hunchentoot goes out 2 - Enda Odonoghue to Take Part
hunchentoot Galerie -
Berlin, DE Germany
 Galerie hunchentoot presents the second in a series of off-site group exhibitions. Featuring the works of eight artists who play with the depictions of reality, the pieces intersect and collide to create a patchwork of perspectives. The meticulous reproduction or the systematic deconstruction of the photographic, filmic and cartographic object is itself a translation process, one that attempts to reconfigure a part of reality with a personal set of rules. It in turn requires re-translation on the viewers part for the art to acquire a significance beyond that of the original maker. Enda Odonoghue, who promotes his work with a Portfolio at absolutearts.com, will take part in this project. Read Indepth Article

THE ART WORLD MOST POWERFUL 50 PEOPLE
John Powell, Jamaica
When you think of 20th Century Art , who first comes to your mind? Picasso, might be the first who comes to your mind? Well, what if i were to list a few names of the greatest figures of 20th-century art, such as: Bonnard, Brancusi, Braque, Dubuffet, Giacometti, Gris, Leger, Matisse and Picasso.Who would you remember first/most? What if i were to further drag your memory for a walk and asked you about a few more instances,like, when restorers attempted to clean, 'THE MONA LISA' and it was 'FEARED' that, if it gets 'DAMAGED',it would be a NATIONAL DISGRACE...;You remember that intent? Or,in (MADRID) in 1997 when Bilbao was to Bid for (Guernica) and it was said that ,'The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao has touched a political and cultural nerve in Spain by announcing that it wants to borrow Pablo Picasso's Guernica from the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid to celebrate its opening'.Did you know it was originally titled 'The Horrors of War (after Goya's famous work)?
Lets touch your nerves,who are they? AS EXPECTED,THE BIENNIAL ASSESSMENT OF POWER IN THE ART WORLD RAISED A BUMPER CROP OF HACKLES: (quote)"Could i suggest that a much more interesting survey would be of "the 50 most knowledgeable people in the art world?" queried venerable British dealer Leslie Waddington. "I wonder how many of those who are listed as 'powerful' would get into that second category."(end quote); (quote), "All 50 of the most powerful people in the art world should be artists, " Opined David Ross,director of the Whitney Museum of American Art. "And quite frankly I'd be very happy with that state of affaire." (end quote);
