| Posted: 24 Dec 2009 06:28 PM PST Season's WishesThough this week of the year—the filling in our Christmas and New Year's cookie sandwich—is brimming with social engagements, there's little in the way of public performances. It's a hard time to be an arts writer, especially when one of the only events happening this week includes said arts writer, a writer who's terribly uncomfortable with self-promotion (the event rhymes with Schmurch of Schmetoven; that's all I'll say). Rather than think about this time as a dead zone, though, it's better to see it as a period of regeneration. Slowing down, living, taking things in; these are just as much a part of the artistic process as is active creation. Maybe it's a good time, then, to think about what kinds of art you'd like to see in Albuquerque in 2010 and how you can make that happen. Whether as an artist, writer, musician or patron, I encourage you decide to make a conscious contribution to the arts in our city over the next year. Attend. Host. Donate. Discuss. I'm hopeful that 2010 will expand on, and in some ways explode, the tremendous things that have been going on in the Albuquerque arts world. That's worth celebrating, and then it's worth trumping. Have a wonderful holiday. Enjoy your family, your urban family, your work friends, your public transportation seat mate—whoever it is that makes this season bright. But don't rest too long. We've got things to do. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry. Available tools: PDF Newspaper, Full Text RSS, Term Extraction. | |

| Watch Dan Perjovschi at Work at the Royal Ontario Museum in February - Art Daily Posted: 24 Dec 2009 06:50 PM PST
TORONTO.- The Institute for Contemporary Culture (ICC) at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) presents the new art installation, Dan Perjovschi: Late News, beginning on February 22, 2010. Distinguished in the world of contemporary art, Dan Perjovschi will draw his brilliant and irreverent cartoons directly onto the dramatic soaring walls of the Roloff Beny Gallery, on Level 4 of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal at the ROM. Dan Perjovschi: Late News is the artist's first solo exhibition in Canada.
| Between February 13th and 22nd, Perjovschi will spend ten days in residence at the Museum, creating his unique site-specific line drawings while interacting with Museum visitors. This original work will remain on display until summer 2010. "Responding to the troubled world economy, rapid social change and political upheavals, the work of Dan Perjovschi provides a perceptive and often cheeky examination of the things that keep us awake at night. We are thrilled to invite him to the ROM, to watch him in action, and to be left with an original work of art that serves as an honest snapshot of today's world," said William Thorsell, ROM Director and CEO. Dan Perjovschi: Late News:
Perjovschi's acclaimed exhibitions are always a personal response to the social and political atmosphere, and the geographic location, in which they are created. The works will be created during public hours, allowing Museum visitors to observe the creation in progress, making the drawing project a performance in itself. As the work will be painted over at the conclusion of the exhibition period, the ICC will produce a free publication (available in the gallery in the spring) that will be the record of the Late News installation. Dan Perjovschi:
Perjovschi garnered international attention at the 48th Venice Biennale (1999), where he covered the floor of the Romanian Pavillion with drawings and political graffiti about life in the post-Communist era. At the 52nd Venice Biennale (2007) his drawings were included in the main International Exhibition. He has had solo and group exhibitions at the Tate Modern (London) and Tate Liverpool, the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Kunsthalle Basel, Centre Pompidou (Paris) and the Moscow Biennale. Formally trained as a still-life painter in a Soviet-style art academy in Romania, Perjovschi was encouraged to question the practicality of his classical grounding when the dictatorship of Nicolae Ceauşescu collapsed in 1989. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the subsequent rise of the European Union, Eastern Europe has seen a shift in its regional and national identities. This new political reality is fertile ground for Perjovschi's tongue-in-cheek yet pointed observations, which have been sharpened by his background in journalism. Since 1991, Perjovschi has served as political illustrator and art director for the Bucharest-based independent magazine Revista 22, the first political journal founded in Romania after the fall of the Ceauşescu regime. Perjovschi's artistic practice has been influenced by artists of the 1960s and 1970s, newspaper cartoonists, the international art scene, and mainly by the media. In order to reach more people with his satirical thoughts on society, Perjovschi opted for the popular language of political cartoons. Inspiration for his drawings comes from a multitude of sources: conversations, rumours, newspaper articles, gossip, television, and global or local events. The illustrations are simple black marker line drawings, sometimes accompanied with succinct wordplay or punch line captions. With just a few strokes, Perjovschi sums up the current state of affairs with regard to religion, terror, nationalism or consumerism. The results are a hybrid of graffiti and activism with the best qualities of a good newspaper cartoon.

| Bradley willing to fight Pacquiao or Mayweather - BoxingNews24.com Posted: 24 Dec 2009 02:39 PM PST gGet the facts straight. Pac wont let the anti doping agency test him, but will allow the nevada commission to. That cheat has something to hide. It was only last year that he was getting faded from little marquez's punches, now he walks through them. That pos is a cheat and its no wonder he would rather continue juicing, and fight nonsense fights like malignaggi and foreman, than fight the best, who is BRADLEY!
