Human/Nature at the Berkeley Art Museum
The Human/Nature exhibition at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAM/PFA) is beautiful, both in concept and content. Among other qualities, the show achieves an aura of maturity and real world-relevance that stands in quiet contrast to some of the contemporary art world’s less noble celebrations of cultural currency and market [...]

Scott Goodwillie’s Reluctant Gods
2 responses - Posted 03.18.09
What is it about certain mythologies that lend themselves so well to visual interpretation? The museums are full of paintings that retell, and perhaps shed new light, on stories that we all know well. New York-based artist Scott Goodwillie creates images both mythical and personal in Reluctant Gods, on exhibit through March 28 in Seattle’s [...]continue

And You Thought Your Neighbors Were Weird

The Complex is Seattle improv group Unexpected Productions’ latest blend of scripted work and improvisation. The group’s artistic director Randy Dixon helmed this piece based on actor Kevin Brady’s experiences as a local apartment manager. The story itself is not all that complex. It basically boils down to: Boy wants to be an actor. Boy [...]continue

An Odd But Elegant Process

After brewing a cup of tea, we hardly even consider the possibilities of a used tea bag before we toss it in the trash. In general, little thought is given to what we discard and any alternate uses it may posses. Although a majority of us don’t ponder prior to tossing, one exemplary [...]continue

Through Her Eyes
1 response - Posted 06.02.08
Art is a way for us to view the world through the eyes of an artist. We gaze at what they consider beautiful; which may or may not be the same as our interpretations of the adjective.

How would you feel about viewing Aliza Shvarts’ newest artistic creation? It’s a mixture of performance art, language arts and visual art; in this work she artificially inseminated herself and forced miscarriages upon herself, with abortifacient medication, not once –not twice; how about as many times in nine-months as she could following the following procedure. [...]continue

Scenic Listening
no responses - Posted 05.08.08
After climbing a tree, a mountain or even stairs up a tower, the breathtaking views available to us make the panting and pain all worthwhile. An experience such as this can be elevated further with the addition of music, just as songs heighten emotions in movies. By adding a soundtrack to everyday or even historic [...]continue
