Call for Artists : 13th Annual Subtle Technologies Festival Explores Sustainability
Subtle Technologies, University of Toronto -
Toronto, ON CA Canada
13th Annual Subtle Technologies Festival Explores Sustainability - Deadline: January 9 2010 -
Festival Dates: University of Toronto June 3 - 6 2010.
It will be nearly half a century since Rachel Carson's book "Silent
Spring", just over five since Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth", and less
than three years since Anya Hindmarch's "I'm not a plastic bag" eco-bag
hit the shelves. The grassroots have taken hold fostering mainstream
fashion and a green life style. This may be a victory of ideology, yet
at the same time, has matured into a new social norm that suspiciously
smells of capitalism. The replacements are still a chain in
consumption. Ecological compact fluorescent light bulbs contain
mercury, and biofuels have an impact beyond ethanol production. If
sustainability is narrowly defined as a closed system that produces what
it consumes, by all means, the boundary conditions leave us hanging,
looking for more. What can this more, be? Read Indepth Article

Parallel Realities : Aishan Yu's First Solo Show in the UK
Peifen Fine Art -
London, UK United Kingdom
 Peifen Fine Art in collaboration with Piero Passet Gallery is pleased to present Parallel Realities, marking Aishan Yu's first solo show in UK. Yu's recent paintings intuitively explore her personal interest in photographic realism and non-representational textures. She explores the field of portraiture through this combination to express the inner emotions of modern day humanity. Chromatically muted but melancholically seductive, her paint touches wood only to reluctantly register some ghostly presence, like that of the white chemise in Revati (2009) which functions somewhat as the hollowed-out shell of an unseen, unidentifiable being. Revati incidentally is also the name of a princess in Hindu mythology whose adventures with her King-father to the realm of Lord Brahma the Creator - got her caught in a time dilation fix where time runs differently on parallel planes of existence. One minute in Heaven may be one year on Earth. No one really knows whether the woman in the picture is here or elsewhere, despite being locatable by her titular placement at the window or in the bathroom. Read Indepth Article

Secrets and Confessions : Peter Sudar, John Stark, Leonard Vartic, Ioan Cristea
Ana Cristea Gallery -
New York, NY USA United States of America
 Ana Cristea Gallery is delighted to present a group show, which includes the work of Peter Sudar, John Stark, Leonard Vartic and Ioan Cristea. The spectrum of the show lies under the soft gaze of nostalgia. Each of the artists engages the past, with the thrill of capturing its moments. But, as nostalgia remains firmly grounded in the present, the four artists challenge us with their unique vision of the past while sharing their contemporary secrets with the world. Although all of these artists hail from Europe, their work inevitably addresses divergent issues and contains varied themes. Moreover, it reflects individuals who possess their own pictorial language, which is critical to how their distinctive subject matter is conveyed.

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);
