At the fridge...
THIS WEEKEND
The Fridge Presents
Davis McLane Connelly’s Individuation
Opening Reception Saturday, January 5, 7 – 11pm
Artist Talk Sunday, January 6, 2 - 3pm
On View through January 27
Davis McLane Connelly’s newest drawings of youthful figures in lifelike, yet surrealistic scenarios will be on view starting this Saturday, 7 - 11pm, at The Fridge. Davis will also have an artist talk on Sunday, 2 - 3pm to talk about his techniques as a draftsman as well as the psychological concept individuation, the Jungian term for each person’s path to becoming whole, that drives this series.
Davis draws iconographic stuffed toys, anthropomorphic animals, and figures in various states of physical maturity to engage nostalgic and curious viewers in a dialogue concerning the regret of lost youth and the struggle for personal expression.
Davis says, “I want to make work that is visually accessible, and I believe it’s important for everyone to be able to form their own interpretation of my work. I aim to make my drawings aesthetically pleasing so that they appeal to a wide range of viewers. Beyond the immediate aesthetics, there are references to greater topics. For example, the words on a magazine, the direction in which light is cast, or the arrangement of the composition will hold clues to a deeper meaning."

Washington vs The Other Washington
It was bound to happen sooner or later... the iconic Washington DC football team with a storied past would meet the Pacific Northwest's football team from the "other" Washington in a game that means something more than a win during the regular season.
The Redskins is a team with a long history of heroes, Super Bowls and dozens of Hall of Famers. The Seahawks is as close as the NFL comes to having a foreign team in its roster, and whose only Super Bowl appearance resulted in a loss due to the the worst officiated championship game in history.
The Skins stubbornly cling to a name that allegedly offends some people, and it is also one of the most famous and recognizable names in professional sports. As far as Seattle, I don't even know if a Seahawk is a real bird, although someone once told me that it was another name for an Osprey, which is some kind of sea bird that eats fish.
The Skins, even through all of their woes over the last few years, are still the Skins, and you can always count on seeing them on all the highlight reviews. Last night I spent several hours watching football and not once did I see any Seattle highlights in any of the half time, post game or any time of the day shows, after all, who outside of the Pacific Northwest follows that team?
But the one thing that Seattle has always been able to do, in good years and in bad years, is to be able to beat anyone and lose to anyone on any given Sunday. And even in their worst years, most NFL teams would rather play in Beirut, Baghdad or Damascus than in Seattle, and thus the Skins should be grateful that in spite of having a worse record that the Seahawks, they are hosting them at home rather than in Starbucksland.
This will be an interesting game; as in the last few weeks the Seahawks have opened a most impressive can of offensive whoop-ass which is sure to test the Skins' suspicious secondary.
Not only that, but because they might as well play in a foreign country, most football fans (especially DMV Skin fans) are not aware that Seattle is also led by a rookie quarterback, a little guy who may in fact be as good, and in my opinion better, than celebrated other rookie quarterbacks Andrew Luck and (here it comes DMV) RGIII.
The Seahawks' appearances on national TV are counted in dog years, even when they win their division (which in the last few years has been quite often) and thus it is understandable why most people would debate that Russell Wilson is as good as Luck or RGIII - until last week, they hadn't seen Wilson play.
Because he is such a game-changer in a place as visible as the DMV, you can bet the family farm that RGIII will win the Rookie of the Year award. And yet his amazing quarterback ratings and stats are almost exactly the same as Wilson's.
Which is why Wilson will try to outdo RGIII when the two Washingtons meet.
I don't know which team will win; both teams are playing exceptionally well, and both teams deserve to move on.
GoOspreys Hawks!

2012 ====> 2013
What a great year (for me anyway) this was... easily the best "art" year ever, with the most art sales, including sales to not one but two collectors in the Top 100 Art Collectors List, plus an offer of my first ever museum show, plus my best art fair ever, plus continuing and steady sales of my book (look for a couple more to come out next year)...
But by far the best thing about 2012 was my wonderful family, and it is from all of us that I wish all of you a terrific 2013!
See ya there!

Drew Storm Graham
(Via) The DC-area knows that Strathmore
Hall houses the incredible Baltimore Symphony, but Strathmore is not just for
the performing arts anymore - Strathmore features
fine visual arts. The organization
is in its second season of its Fine AIR program, where the center cultivates
local visual arts talent by pairing emerging artists with established
professionals in the community in its Fine Artist in Residence (Fine AIR)
program and exhibition. Fine AIR residencies last six
months, during which time participants expand their craft, build their audience,
create a curatorial proposal, solidify their artistic voice and, ultimately,
premiere a new body of work commissioned by Strathmore.
 |
| "Twisted" Drew Storm Graham |
Multidisciplinary artist Drew Graham's artwork references imagery steeped in the counter cultures of tattoo and graffiti art. Normally working with airbrushed laminated wood veneers, under the mentorship of writer and artist F. Lennox Campello, Drew has been exploring new artistic possibilities.
 |
| Drew Graham begins sifting crushed glass powder onto panels of glass for color samples. |
 |
| Color, texture, patterns, sequence and how depth can be achieved are the goals of the glass workshop. |
The culminating Fine Artists in Residence Exhibition will be
on view in the Mansion at Strathmore beginning August 31, 2013.
About Strathmore
Strathmore presents and
produces exemplary visual and performing arts programs for diverse audiences;

Nervous fish?
We often get together with my wife's family at Hinode Sushi in Rockville, a hidden gem of a Japanese restaurant in Rockville.
One of my nephews is very much into aquariums and pet fish, etc. and next to Hinode is a pet shop with a lot of fish to choose from... anyway, my nephew usually wonders into the pet shop, buys a fish, they put it in a plastic bag filled with water, and then my nephew walks back to Hinode, and eventually we all go our respective ways.
I've often wondered if the fish, elated to be "rescued" from the boredom of the tank in the pet shop, is all excited that someone has finally bought it, and is looking forward to a new place to swim... and then is walked into a sushi shop.
Does the fish think: "oh, oh... crap!"

Score one for the Mayans
Since tomorrow is the end of the world, I'm gonna be saving big bucks, because the day after tomorrow is my wife's birthday, and since tomorrow is the end of the world... do you see my logic?
Of course, no one wants the world to end, except maybe those mutant Ayatollahs in Iran, but there's that whole "present-buying" angle to work...

Hirst leaving his dealer...
But “these superstar artists are self-propelled machines,” said Tobias Meyer, director of Sotheby’s contemporary art department worldwide and its principal auctioneer. “Just as actors left their studios in the 1950s, artists have become bigger stars than their galleries. The world is their oyster, and they know it.”Read the NYT story here.

When modern art baffles
"If you've ever stared at a piece of modern art and felt you just didn't "get it," you're probably among the majority.Read the whole story by WTOP's Madeline Tallman here.
The Smithsonian is trying to change that. The American Art Museum has begun hosting discussions aimed at helping museum-goers grasp the meaning behind some of the museum's more enigmatic works."

Wake effect continues
Remember me harping about the "wake effect" of art fairs?
Review: The "wake effect" is akin to the wake that a ship leaves behind as it sails through the water. In artfairese, it is what happens (sales, contacts, articles, etc.) after an art fair is over.
Since Aqua ended, we've closed a deal for four 30x40 photographs by the amazing Dulce Pinzon - all to be sent to a major private collection in NYC which although "private" is open to the public.
And ballsy Cuban photog Cirenaica Moreira will be the focus of a profile article in VOGUE magazine.
And yours truly has been offered his first museum solo!
Yay!

Blake Gopnik Laid Off at Newsweek
Former WaPo art critic Blake Gopnik, who escaped the sinking ship known as the WaPo's Style Section for Tina Brown's nearly submerged Newsweek, has been fired ; according to NY Magazine:
Also leaving Newsweek/The Daily Beast amid substantial layoffs is art and design critic Blake Gopnik, he confirmed to Daily Intel. Gopnik joined Tina Brown's magazine from the Washington Post in 2010, along with Robin Givhan, the first and only fashion writer to win a Pulitzer Prize. Givhan was let go in the downsizing as the company kills its print edition. "It's been a wild ride, and a strange one," Gopnik said.Before he left, the Blakester had this great article on the coming explosion of the art market bubble... I sorta agree with him. Read that here.

In this work, the digital imagery completes the narrative of the visual image.
We see the woman’s mind begin the effort to clear the mind of all things and achieve the perfect state of a blank mind.
Her struggles are followed through the digital imagery of food, drinks, candy, space, Mr. Spock and other images before settling on a perfectly blank mind.
Furthermore, the buyer of this piece has the option to request to have me add some specific “distracting” digital images to the piece, if so desired, and thus become a “contributor” to the work.

Zero Dark Thirty
As I've noted before, I am not really sure why I continue to get passes to many press previews of movies, but every once in a while, I do have the time and interest to go see one ahead of time and I saw Zero Dark Thirty and came away entertained, but as usual disappointed as to how Hollywood distorts historical events in order to make a film... ahhh... entertaining.
My basic issue with Zero Dark Thirty, and almost every single Hollywood movie allegedly representing a historical event, is that I am a pedantic Virgo, who tends to over notice little "wrong" things about celluloid history... little things such as a military ribbon out of place, an uncovered salute from a sailor, a wrong line.
To start, the very start of the movie is made up and never happened. But even before the start of the movie I have an issue.
"How can you have an issue before the movie starts, Lenster? ", you ask.
The title is wrong.
No one in the military says "Zero Dark Thirty." The statement used to depict a very early hour in the day is "O Dark Thirty" -- "O" as in the letter; not "Zero" -- and I understand that this may confuse some folks who never served, but if I'm going to be pedantic, then I might as well start with an erroneous title.
Back to the start of the movie.
There were only threepeople terrorists who were water boarded by the CIA in their effort to gather intelligence from the bad guys (and thousands of US military people as part of the Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape (SERE) school - at least when I was in, being water boarded was part of the school curriculum); the dude being water boarded in the movie was not one of them, so why make that up?
That's two strikes already, and we're not even finished the first few minutes of the film, but Hollywood has already seeded suspicion about nearly everything that follows and that bugs the pedantic me.
The vast left wing nut house is going bananas over this film because it thinks that it is too flattering to the CIA, to the US Government, to whatever... they also rightly complain about perceived historical inaccuracies (although I didn't recall any such complaints on equally intellectually dishonest efforts such as Oliver Stone's "W" or Michael Moore's pick any documentary).
As a work of historical fiction, the film was splendid in its entertainment factor... and Hollywood will tell you that it is a "film and not a documentary." The problem is that a lot more people will see this film, and take it for a full, true story, than will ever read the actual facts about the OBL hunt.
