RAPPEL ARMONK ce week end Sept 29-30

EDGARD REIMS is another artist we love to see again and again @ Armonk Check his website by clicking on the title of the post ... which starts with.."Claude Monet once said, "I don't paint a tree; I paint the air between the tree and my eye." This I think captures the challenge and appreciation of pure impressionistic painting. Although my oils are done from nature, I wouldn't describe them as purely impressionistic. Proper color is paramount, creating atmospheric effect, but I try to bring more of a feeling of place to my work. It is gratifying to know that "plein-air" painting has maintained its niche among the varied styles and concepts of late twentieth century art. These paintings should be appreciated for what they are - little slices of fleeting daylight, moments in nature that are ever changing.

Performances and Screenings Season Four Preview of Art21 | 7 pm ART21: ECOLOGY In late October, PBS will air Season Four of its award-winning series Art21: Art in the Twenty-First Century, television’s only series dedicated exclusively to contemporary art. Visually captivating and intriguing, contemporary art is admired and appreciated by many, yet few are given access to the creative processes behind the work – the inspiration and ideas that translate into compelling finished objects. The Neuberger Museum of Art will present a screening and discussion of one of the series’ episodes, Ecology. The post-screening discussion will be led by Kelly Shindler, Art21 Manager of Public Programs and Outreach. Ecology introduces viewers to Ursula von Rydingsvard, Inigo Manglano-Ovalle, Robert Adams, and Mark Dion, four contemporary artists whose work poses questions about the relationships between nature and culture. Admission is free, but reservations are required as seating is limited: 914.2

A friend of mine told me about David Loeb, painter living not too far and willing to welcome us and share his work. David speaks french very well not only because his wife is french but he also lived in France. This is an opportunity I always encourage to be able to meet the artist and discuss We can easily set up one day or Saturday to go and visit him.In the meantime, this is his "statement": DAVID LOEB I am essentially a portraitist; and for me, portraiture is human still life; likewise, still life suggests the figure and humanity. In both cases, structure mirrors a particular personality or set of psychological inter-relationships. My goal is to create order and beauty… to pose and provoke the big questions… and to evoke a world of paradox and transformation. check his work at www.polyhymnion.org/loeb ,also at http://www.galerie-beckel-odille-boicos.fr/artistes/Loeb/page_anglais_loeb.htm or http://www.mstudiogallery.com/website3/dloeb.html

Greenwood Cemetery of Brooklyn - Jeudi 11 octobre à partir de 9h "It is the ambition of the New-Yorker to live upon the Fith Avenue, to take his airing in the Park, and to sleep with his fathers in Green-Wood." Henry J. Raimond, founder of the New-York Times. Fondé en 1838, Green Wood Cemetery est l'un des premiers cimetières jardins des-Etats unis. Il devient à la fin des années 1850, l'un des plus élégants cimetières, où les plus grands artistes et architectes de leur temps ont édifié mausolées, sculptures et monuments pour les plus grandes icônes new- yorkaises. En Octobre 2006, Green Wood fut declaré officiellement monument historique. C'est le 4ème cimetière aux Etats-Unis a avoir reçu une telle distinction. Ce tour guidé sera mené par Big Onion Tours.

Sponsor Marie Pascale by your donation

Please read the following letter sent by my friend Marie Pascale Dear Friends, You may know that I’ve entered the NYC Marathon on November 4th. I’m training hard, but it’s not just for a medal (although I’ll wear it proudly). I’m a member of Team for Kids, a group of more than 1,000 runners who raise funds to support the youth services arm of New York Road Runners. The funds pay for running-based fitness, goal-setting, and nutrition programs in 150 schools in New York, around the country, and in South Africa. Right now, 25,000 kids a week take part. By learning about and practicing good habits, these kids can lower their risk of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes and lead healthier, more productive lives. My goal is to raise $ 5 000, so every dollar counts...Thank you in advance for helping achieve my goal. It is now faster and easier than ever before to make a donation.

What's going on @Storefront for Art and Architecture

A SPECIAL EVENT TO CELEBRATE STOREFRONT'S 25TH ANNIVERSARYINAUGURAL EVENING FRIDAY 21 SEPTEMBER, 6.30 PMTwenty-five years ago, in September 1982, Storefront's first public event got underway in its original Prince Street location. Performance A-Z, organized by the gallery's founders Kyong Park and R L Seltman, and artist Arlene Schloss, was a 26-day sequence of performances by New York-based artists. Each of the 26 performers was allocated one evening slot. The event became a manifesto for the gallery's future programming: as Kyong Park wrote in his introduction, "Storefront supports the idea that art and design have the potential and responsibility to affect public policies which influence the quality of life and the future of all cities."Starting this Friday, Storefront will celebrate its 25th anniversary with a new edition of its first event. Entitled Performance Z-A, this 26-day celebration will be hosted in Petrosino Park, adjacent to Storefront, in a spe

Frenchy, artsy, funny and from Andy

An english(ndlr) thief in Paris planned to steal some paintings from the Louvre. After careful planning, he got past security, stole the paintings and made it safely to his van. However, he was captured only two blocks away when his van ran out of gas.When asked how he could mastermind such a crime and then make such an obvious error, he replied, "Monsieur, that is the reason I stole the paintings. I had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh."(And you thought I didn't have De Gaulle to send this on to someone else.) I figure I had nothing Toulouse.

All the galleries are open AFTER HOURS. We're featuring 2 unbelievable one-night only events in addition to our regular shows . I have to admit I'm a little scared myself. These are total spectacles, absolutely crazy in their ambition. David Ford alone is flying in over 20 performers and some of these are industry professionals (not music industry). It's all a bit NC-17. So I'll probably be hanging upstairs with the furries—maybe I'm naive, but they're telling me it's all very innocent, and I want to believe! Hope to see you here.
