Southwest regional community and education program manager for Intel Corp.
Gary Gerew, Special to NMBW October 19, 2012
Intel was a sponsor of the recent International Symposium on Electronic Art in Albuquerque.
If someone just happened to see a van completely covered with cameras drive by last month, how would you explain to them what the International Symposium on Electronic Art was?
The International Symposium on Electronic Art is an exciting course of events t... [more]

Vintage films are known to have an intrinsic cult following. Maybe it’s because they remind us of the matte simplicity that’s fading in our digital society, or it could be the growing appreciation for classic features—when storylines were still unique and theatrics took fearless risks. Either way, we find ourselves attracted to old school cinema and the bold propaganda-esque designs that adorn their artwork. Regardless the reason for our fantastic obsession, posters from moti...

Unsung Heroism and Humanity in the Heat and Dust of Italy’s City of Art
Piazza De Duomo, Pietrasanta
Lucy Goldberg
Some wear newspaper hats or plastic goggles to shield them from the marble dust, others sport overalls and masks to protect them from the molten bronze, yet despite the layers worn by many of his subjects, there is a humanity in the portraits of artisans by Anglo-Polish photographer Henryk Hetflaisz on show until July 14th at the Piazza del Duomo in Pietrasanta.

You may have seen him on rooftops all around town.
With his jaunty fedora and casual stance, he looks to be a dapper sort of guy with a special interest in Detroit. He stares out over avenues and intersections, eyes fixed on the horizon. No cops in evidence? Not to worry. The orange guy — the "Man in the City" — is watching out for you.
He's 5 feet tall, made of solid steel and weighs 50 pounds. His public debut came three years ago in New York, where he hung out for awhile as a public art... [more]
The Man in the City Public Art Workshops were developed to teach children about community. The emphasis is on goal setting, public art, and the difference that an individual can make in their community. These workshops focus on the process of setting and achieving goals through the planning, creation and exhibition of student art. As a result of the art workshop, sculptures will be created by the students and displayed throughout the City of Detroit. This idea of creating a work of art from concept to... [more]
DETROIT, MI - A woman recently called Lyon Township to ask about a large orange cutout of a man along Interstate 96 north of Detroit. The sculpture had been scaring her child, who couldn't sleep at night because he was sure he had seen Freddy Kruger along the highway hours earlier.
That is according to John Sauve, the man behind the steel sculpture, who told MLive that the child's reaction to his Man in the City urban exhibition represents what he expects from everyone who views his sculptures: "It can b... [more]

I was recently driving in a thriving, mostly immigrant, neighborhood of Los Angeles. While stopped at a light I saw the following sign: Tax Preparation /Travel Agency. It was not unified corporate branding by a long shot. It was, however, two businesses which the investment in a single computer might make possible. Categorically it was a funny space. No one likes taxes and everyone wants to go on vacation. A perfect case of opposites attract. It reminded me of the parings of surprising, unlikel... [more]

Though a non-descript, signless space, bricked and fortified with bars, she looks soft inside, the toughness dropping away. Opened now—wide by hand—she's entered into with cautionary eagerness. Inside her arrangement appears fixed as if one mussed her carefully constructed visage it would be righted magically to how it began.
Her bare walls provide room for thoughts to bounce toward and from which to peel away. These thoughts lap down upon desks, huddled together, which rest waiting for... [more]
Charlotte Jansen: Good to see you the other night at the Catlin Prize. And those pointy jazzy shoes of yours... have a good time?
Philippa Snow: Those jazzy shoes were an absolute nightmare; half a size too small, and the tip came off the heel when I - very sensibly - went straight home after the prize (by which I mean: "went for whiskey sours in a dark bar").
CJ: Talking of dark rooms; I meant to ask you what you were doing crouching down on the floor there when I got in?

gebimsel = in German, domestic decorations hanging from the walls or ceiling. A word is a feeling is a lifestyle is a socio-political analysis.
On a day filled with wandering and shopping and lunching you may find yourself at Susan Hobbs Gallery just south of the Queen West strip on Tecumseth. In a skinny re-purposed building – a remnant of Toronto’s industrial past – is a tiny door set back from the sidewalk. Duck and enter.

Patrick Howlett Draws Fresh Vectors for Painting
Susan Hobbs Gallery, Toronto
December 15, 2012, to February 2, 2013
By Wojciech Olejnik
POSTED: JANUARY 11, 2013, Canadian Art Online
The title of Patrick Howlett’s exhibition “How Hummingbirds Choose Flowers” at Susan Hobbs Gallery refers to how hummingbirds, which have almost no sense of smell, rely on colour and form cues to find flowers. It also evokes how, in their constant search for food, hummingbirds are always open to new sources.
Accordingly, How... [more]
Patrick Howlett: How Hummingbirds Choose Flowers December 15, 2012 – February 2, 2013 Susan Hobbs Gallery
By Amy Luo
How do hummingbirds choose flowers? As it turns out, even ornithologists don’t know: lacking a sense of smell, these tiny birds depend on a variety of visual cues to find flowers but the exact process is difficult to pin down. How Hummingbirds Choose Flowers, then, is a good title for an exhibition of Patrick Howlett’s purely abstract works, which present the viewer with myriad su... [more]
