Published by March 21st, 2008 in art, audio, film, films, images, movies and museums. 1 CommentAnother gem from my Ubuweb video feed.
Just found this series of audio files that feature David Cronenberg curating an Andy Warhol exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto back in 2006. Here’s a nice quote from Cronenberg about Warhol’s influence on his own work:

Without Cigarettes There Would Be No Baseball Cards
Published by January 21st, 2008 in americana, images, pictures and richmond. 2 CommentsWell, I’m not actually sure this blog title is entirely true, and that’s why I can freely publish it here.

In fact, graffiti in Italy has a long cultural history dating back to the Ancient Greeks and the Romans. [...]
Studio Art at UMW
Published by December 5th, 2007 in UMW Blogs, art, images and pop culture. 0 CommentsI had the privilege and the pleasure to be a panelist at the 5th annual Professional Practices in Studio Art Presentation on Monday evening. The work Carol Garmon’s students are doing is nothing short of amazing. I have to admit that I was a little nervous coming into the evening because I thought I might [...]
