    So it Goes: Another Astounding Exhibition at Lora Reynolds Gallery

    I walked into what appeared to be an unpolished exhibition when I saw Susan Collis’ ‘So it goes’ at Lora Reynolds Gallery. Collis, a London-based artist, uses seemingly simple, common objects in the many works that comprise her second solo show with the gallery.  (Her first solo exhibition for Lora Reynolds, which opened in 2008, was actually the inaugural show for the gallery’s new space.)  Collis strips down the notion More …

    Eveli Sabatie on Hopi Inlay and Egyptian Jewelry

    In 2006, writing for Metalsmith magazine, I had the opportunity to review the Charles Loloma jewelry show that revealed not only Loloma’s compelling jewelry -but  some of the astonishing works by the only two apprentices the master claimed: the Moroccan-raised Evelie Sabatie, and his niece, Verma Nequatewa. These inlay earrings by Sabatie I encountered two weeks ago in Santa Fe ($4800; Shiprock Santa Fe.) Eveli Sabatie worked and lived with Loloma More …

    Mass Media in Freefall, “Pirate Radio” Likes Its Air Thin

    My first foray into radio was with a local talk station in Denver. Right after the job offer, my anticipatory excitement overflowed. Finally, I was about to settle a 25-year old score and prove my 4th Grade teacher wrong… “Yes, Mrs. Werber, my wise-ass mouth IS going to make me a living – So JAMMIT, Bitch!” After taking the radio reins for a few weeks, I quickly realized, however, that More …

    “I, Shithead” and Other Things Middle-Aged Musicians Say to Themselves

    I, Shithead by Joey Keithley of D.O.A. (his stage name is Joey Shithead) is the lead dude in the most important band you never heard of but is totally considered one of the founders of hardcore punk along with the likes of Black Flag, Minor Threat and Bad Brains. I, Shithead – the book – chronicles and documents the entire nostalgic era of punk that everyone talks about these days but there’s More …

    Violin “Prodigy” Benjamin Beilman Inhabits Sibelius, Transfixes Popejoy

    “Prodigy” is that small apotheosis reserved for the young. Mozart, Mendelssohn, Michael Jackson they have been clamored after, adored,  given (a few) eminent celebrity. Yet, when “Violin Prodigy” hailed as the title of Benjamin Beilmans recent NMSO concert at Popejoy Hall, I was reminded of the weight of agents and breathless superlatives that halo a young musicians head like awkwardly twined laurels. Especially if he is 20 years old, not More …

    It’s Complex Systems in HD in “Infrastructure”

    If Bernd and Hilla Becher tried to systematize industrial operations into banal presentations, flat-framed black-and-white photographs that demonstrated the utilitarian morpheme nature of the thing itself, be it blast furnace or nuclear plant, now the same landscapes are lush electronic fields, displayed as wide as your screen allows.  This is a genre of wide-screen online photography magazines (new in the last two years) including Acurator, Pictorymag, and blog Featureshoot. Pictory More …

    Why Some Music Festivals are Fading Faster Than Justin Bieber’s Teen Idol Status

    Live music has always been the golden rock n roll goose laying some very profitable eggs, but in the last couple years of “economic suck” (technical term) there have been many casualties in the music festival world especially in the one-off or fly-in category. The reasons for all these failed music festivals, besides the economy, range everywhere from bloated ego trips, incompetence, thievery, bad booking choices, risky bets, and very More …

    Ai Weiwei “Dropping the Urn” – But “Where is Weiwei” Today?

    Editors Note: Ai Weiwei has been arrested in Beijing and on April 4, 2011 there are fears for his safety amid a crackdown on intellectuals in China. The catalog of Ai Weiwei: Dropping the Urn, Ceramic Works, 5000 BCE – 2010 CE, begins ominously, with the declaration, “…ceramics is kind of crazy. I hate ceramics… I think if you hate something too much, you have to do it. You have More …

    Tesla’s Electric Car Revolution

    Serbian-born engineer and inventor Nikola Tesla went west for a period in the late 1800s to conduct research in Colorado Springs – a city whose image to the outside world these days has more to do with its fundamental Christians than with inventors of such fundamentals as the AC motor. Tesla built a lab in the prairie where he had more room to experiment than in the confined space of More …

    Interview with RAW Founder Heidi Luerra

    When I first heard about RAW it sort of sounded like the arts version of the “McIndie with a side of cheese fries please” but that was coming from my expectation that it was just another piece of corporate ballast dropped over the side for a tax write off. However, for the interesting plot twist we are all looking for, RAW is an independent organization pushing up and not a More …

    From Sundance to Berlin

    The strength of a countrys industries is in its exports, at least thats what were told. Should film be any different? Sundance is a global brand, and an international one. Even though the foreign films at Sundance are a growing part of the festival, most of the program is American, and quite a number of those films are going to the Berlin International Film Festival. So ““ now that Sundance More …
