A firm favorite is returning to Agora Gallery – April 16, 2010 sees the start of Altered States of Reality: an Exhibition of Analog and Digital Photography. The show will run until May 7, 2010, with the reception taking place on Thursday April 22, 2010.
Altered States of Reality showcases the varied work of some of the finest established and emerging fine art photographers in the international art world. The fact that the exhibition includes work from both photographers who favor analog photography and those who prefer to work in digital form means that the audience has the opportunity to compare these two major genres side by side.
The range of technologies used by these artists is impressive, and contributes to the diversity that is strongly present in the [...]
This week’s post is the result of several recent conversations on the subject of time management and how difficult it can be to incorporate your career in art, and your artistic impulses, into the rest of your life. It’s evidently a problem that many artists worry about, and getting it right (or at least finding a reasonable balance) can be the work of years, and remain an ongoing challenge.
The nature of the problem varies a little depending on whether you are a full-time artist, or whether your art is something that must fight with other work commitments. Maintaining both a job and your art can be difficult, of course, because both together can place significant stress on both your time and your energy, particularly when both are important to you and [...]
There are many areas of the art world where lack of sight or limited vision quite obviously need not be a great impediment to development and success. Andrea Bocelli, the famous and popular tenor whose voice is beloved around the world, completely lost his sight at age twelve after an accident during a soccer game. Twenty year old Nobuyuki Tsujii, the Japanese pianist whose playing captured hearts and delighted ears at an international piano competition this year, has been blind since birth. As in the wider world, there are many aids that can be used to get around potential problems, and no one has difficulty understanding how a blind person can be a talented musician, for example.
It is perhaps more surprising to discover the relationship between sculpture and the visually impaired [...]
Twitter has been mentioned before on this blog, notably in the post about social media in the art world but I’ve never given it more than a passing reference. Given the questions, comments and small amount of confusion that seem to surround this particular aspect of social media, I thought it would be sensible to explain a little bit about it and its place in the art world.
People communicate through Twitter in sentences of only 140 characters or fewer, but other than that ‘tweeting’ – sending a message on Twitter – is very like updating your Facebook status or sending an SMS. Anyone [...]
A new exhibition has arrived in Chelsea, with a reception to be held Thursday, December 03, 2009 6-8 PM. Ruth Gilmore Langs, an exciting contemporary artist from Michigan, is presenting her work in an exhibit simply entitled ‘Paint’ – the title bearing testimony to the artist’s absorption in and love of her chosen medium, as well as introducing a new audience to the lively and stimulating effect of her work.
Ruth Gilmore Langs lives in Ann Arbor, on an island in the Huron River. Nature is a recurring theme in her work, and it is easy to see that her studio, with its beautiful views of the continually changing river, provides her with a constant source of inspiration. The sense of the bounty and beauty of the natural [...]
