An Old Life Lived in the New Museum
by Sophia Powers
Posted
11/22/09
Have you ever wondered how you would behave—what you would do, how you would comport yourself while doing it-- if others were watching your “private actions?” I suppose this sort of rumination is the secular update of the classic notion that God is always watching. Perhaps the need for this feeling is still there, despite the jump from deep interiority to radical exteriority that much of modern consciousness seems to have taken. What if there were a public audience for your private actions?

Meta House

This non-profit art space, run by filmmaker Nico Mesterharm, is another axis of activity in Phnom Penh. On any balmy evening you’ll find the patio crowded with artgoers who flock there to see the exciting program of locally produced and foreign documentaries and films. There is a distinct German bent – with funding from the Goethe institute – but a surprising amount of variety. Previously screened films include “The Wave” 2008 a German film about a teacher creates a false dictatorship in... [more]

Reyum Institute of Arts and Culture

Though thoughts of Cambodia and art most often lead to images of 12th century moss-encrusted temple carvings, Cambodia in fact, has a very interesting emerging contemporary art scene. Phnom Penh boasts a growing number of galleries and spaces such as Metahouse (see flavor pic), the French Cultural Center and Reyum Institute of Arts and Culture. Sadly there is still scant funding for the arts and many young artist survive on less than 100$ a month. But scant funds breed a certain resourcefulness an... [more]

Alexander Calder: The Circle and the Sphere
by Diana Mellon
Alexander Calder at Gagosian Gallery - Rome
October 29th - January 30th, 2010
Posted
11/16/09
In a career that spanned most of the 20th century, the engineer-turned-artist Alexander Calder studied the science of motion through art. “Just as one can compose colors, or forms, so one can compose motions,” he once wrote. He was inspired by the universe as he imagined it, a balanced system based on the circle and the sphere.
You can see all the elegance of his universe in Alexander Calder: Monumental Sculpture at Larry Gagosian’s Rome gallery. Calder’s moving sculptures (“mob... [more]

Niki de Saint-Phalle: Target Practice
by Nikhil Melnechuk
Niki de Saint-Phalle at Fondazione Roma Museo

The first sound I heard was the clicking of high heels. All the gallery attendants at the Foundazione Roma Museo wear 4-inchers, and are dressed to kill. This is the only misstep in the museum's comprehensive retrospective of Niki De Saint Phalle, and perhaps not even that: the clicking gave me enough warning to put away my camera before I was caught snapping pictures...
Curated by Stefano Cechetto, over 100 works by Saint-Phalle are being shown; this marks the first extensive exhibition of Saint-Phalle in Italy.... [more]

The works of ‘Beneath My Skin’ may be regarded with Western intuition and references, the viewer naturally connecting them to the works of great masters - Bacon, Schiele, Basquiat, De Kooning. And, certainly, we may also have the tendency to seek Vietnamese sources - Buddhism, sacred paintings, ancient rites - within each of artists - Do Hoang Tuong, Nguyen Minh Thanh, Dinh Y Nhi and Ly Tran Qunyh Giang. Yet, it would be a pity to entertain comparisons and parallels that are simplistic in na... [more]

The First Negros Gamefowl Art Exhibition
by Joan Honoridez-Mocorro aka Joan of Art
Posted
10/14/09
Negrense artists take pride in expressing in various art forms people, places and things native to their home province, Negros Occidental. Principally the country's top sugar supplier and exporter, the sacada or the sugarcane plantation worker has become the typical Negrense art icon.
Taking a fresh turn, and considering that the province is also home to the famous feathered gamefowls which attract bigtime cockfighters from all over the country and some parts of the world, Negrense artists a... [more]
