For the first time, the application for the award is being extended to exhibition spaces that have been established for a minimum of 5 years (a change from the prior guideline requirement of 10+ years). absolutearts.com Syndications 2009-11-19T04:00:00+05:00 http://www.absolutearts.com/artsnews/2009/11/19/35808.html Elizabeth Sparg, Renee Leslie, Simmi Dullay, Lesley Magwood-Fraser, Angie Arbuthnot, Bheki Kambuhle, Mbekheni Mbili, Cally Lotz and Lee Scott Hempson are the participants in the second KZNSA Professional Practice Course. Over the past three months, this group has engaged in an interactive process of theory and practice in exploring the essential requirements of how to make it big in the art world. The title of their exhibition – MINE – alludes to one of the core requirements of success in this highly competitive field: the development of a visual language that is unique, bold, and exciting; that says something new and says it in a manner that has never been seen before. absolutearts.com Syndications 2009-11-19T04:00:00+05:00 http://www.absolutearts.com/artsnews/2009/11/19/35809.html In his solo exhibition entitled "Big Bang", Davide Tranchina is presenting a cycle of new works in which he has experimented with a different use of the photographic medium that, although it is more conceptual, seeks to explore new possibilities of expression.These works are large format black and white close-ups obtained by scanning the negative shadow images left on photographic paper by everyday objects placed in contact with it (known in English as "photograms"). These light effects appear to be the fleeting traces of spectral presences, producing in the black space of the background images that are familiar yet surreal at the same time. They recall ghost ships, atomic mushroom clouds, stellar spaces and galaxies located in a remote and mysterious universe, permeated not only with magic realism but also solitude. Or else they may seem to be evanescent fragments of a dream and imagined realities emerging from our inner depths, where the most secret passions dwell. absolutearts.com Syndications 2009-11-19T04:00:00+05:00 http://www.absolutearts.com/artsnews/2009/11/19/35810.html The Low Country Artisan Collective presents their First Annual Best of The Best Artisan Sale and Show for three days - November 20 , 21, 22, 2009 - from 12 Noon to 6 PM at 10 Storehouse Row, The Old Naval Base, North Charleston.

Twenty million people of Indian origin shifted countries in the 20th and 21st centuries. Implicit in the term Diaspora are the concepts of change and adaptation. Cultural dislocation generally produces unexpected and powerful results. Subject matter is often drawn from the country of origin, while many of the aesthetic values and political concerns come from the artists’ newfound situations. Included in the exhibition is Antonio Puri who has promoted his work with a Portfolio at absolutearts.com since the websites' inception in 2000. absolutearts.com Syndications 2009-11-19T04:00:00+05:00
