L’exposition couvre un vaste terrain de travaux aux techniques différentes (sculpture, peinture, dessin et photographie), dont la plupart n’ont jamais été montrés auparavant. Pour Michel Gérard, enfant durant l’occupation de Paris pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, le monde derrière les fenêtres était ressenti dangereux et hostile. Regarder sa bande dessinée favorite Little Nemo in Slumberland était joyeux et libérateur. Ces dernières années Michel Gérard est revenu aux images de ces bandes dessinées dans le cadre de son travail sur sa mémoire d’enfance. Dans le

Par un concours de circonstances exceptionnel quatre expositions d’un intérêt majeur se tiendront à Londres en automne. Le centenaire de la naissance de Francis Bacon donnera lieu à un hommage national à la Tate Britain : une rétrospective complète pour l’oeuvre d’un des plus grands peintres du XXe siècle. La Tate Modern présentera les dernières réalisations de son contemporain Mark Rothko : alors qu’il est devenu si difficile de transporter les oeuvres du peintre, c’est peut-être l’une des dernières occasions de voir réunis un aussi grand nombre de ses tableaux. Cette confrontation inouïe entre Bacon et Rothko, apparemment aux antipodes l’un de l’autre et pourtant engagés dans la même recherche de l’absolu, sera d’autant plus passionnante qu’elle sera éclairée par deux autres manifestations consacrées aux maîtres anciens : De Van Eyck au Titien : Visages de la Renaissance à La National Gallery et De Bruegel à Rubens, les maîtres flamands à la Galerie de la reine. La concentration de c

Wednesday, June 25 – Tuesday, July 8 • Two Weeks Showtimes: 1:15, 3:15, 6:00, 8:00, 10:00 THE BRILLIANT, ICONOCLASTIC LOUISE BOURGEOIS, now 96 and surely the grande dame of the art world, will have a full-career retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum simultaneously with the premiere of this riveting documentary portrait. Co-directed by Marion Cajori and Amei Wallach, the movie records Bourgeois at work and play, fashioning art in her studio and ruminating upon the deep emotional and psychological roots of her work. Bourgeois’s massive spiders, some as large as 30 feet, have been exhibited throughout the world. They symbolize the maternal impulse, but it is the artist’s passionate connection with various childhood traumas (her father’s live-in mistress being just one) that fuel much of her groundbreaking work. Critic/curators Robert Storr and Deborah Wye, and the artist’s longtime aide-de-camp Jerry Gorovoy, lend piquant commentary.

Behind this picture, there is LINDA N, (the mother of Wendy on the right) , docent with me at the Neuberger. She is opening her House on July 26th .... Please join us for our next fundraiser, an ART AUCTION AND SALE, to be held from July 11 - July 26, 2008 Who We Are The Schramm Family Fund is an organization that was founded to help the Schramm family meet their basic needs and cope with the devastating costs of surgery, therapy and care that has resulted from their fights with multiple cerebral aneurysms, cerebral palsy, and Tourettes Syndrome. Many others are vicitims of similar traumatic brain conditions, and this fund will seek to continue it's mission to assist those families in the future.

MESSAGE DE MARTINE proposant des chambres d'hote et chez qui nous avons loge en Mars 2008 "J'espère que vous allez bien sous le soleil de NY. Ici aussi, nous avons très chaud mais comme cela ne fait que commencer.....J'ai effectivement déménagé pour un appart plus grand avec plusieurs chambres. Il est toujours situé dans Zamalek, pas trop loin du resto et du haut du 20ème étage, j'ai une vue superbe. J'ai même fait un petit site Internet pour les clients potentiels : www.mvy.jimdo.com . Le resto est en veilleuse, les expatriés commençant à rentrer pour les vacances. Et puis, le Ramadan va démarrer fin août ou début septembre ce qui va encore ralentir le rythme. Malesh, comme ils disent ici, on attendra les jours meilleurs. Nasr se joint à moi pour vous souhaiter un bon été, peut-être même de bonnes vacances A bientôt Martine"

A Century of the World Distilled at the Met Museums By LANCE ESPLUND June 5, 2008 The Metropolitan Museum of Art is not headlining its luminous exhibition "Framing a Century: Master Photographers, 1840-1940." There was no press preview or publication for the show, and no banner for the exhibit graces the Met's façade. But the enchanting gathering of more than 150 prints — 10 to 12 iconic works by each of 13 key photographers — a whirlwind tour of the medium's first 100 years, is sure to be one of the Met's sleeper hits of the summer.

Seattle-based artist Patrick LoCicero's idiosyncratic interpretations of traditional floral still life employ overlapping and collaging of the canvas with vintage papers. His multi-layered canvases demand close inspection, where surprises await the curious.

Abraham House was founded in 1993 by three Rikers Island chaplains (who have more than 60 years experience at the prison) and Department of Corrections personnel. Though the founders include a French worker priest and Catholic nuns, Abraham House is non-denominational. The initial goal of Abraham House was to break the cycle of recidivism (which is a disheartening 70% in New York State) with a demanding residential program that serves no more than a dozen offenders at a time.

An Innocent Child : Aide Financière 30 Mai 2008 Madame, Monsieur. Je m’appelle Soraya H et je suis en première à l’école Franco-Americaine. Je suis passionnée de cinématographie et de réalisation. J’ai aujourd’hui l’occasion de réaliser mon premier film. Je suis aidée dans ce projet par Annabelle G. et mon professeur d’Anglais, dont l’expérience en ce domaine nous sera précieuse et guidera nos pas. Mon film s’appelle An Innocent Child. J’ai écris le scénario. C’est l’histoire d’un jeune homme d’une vingtaine d’année hanté par son passé. Il reçoit trois visites, chacune contribuant à ressusciter son angoisse. Sous l'oeil de a caméra, il perd la notion du réel et sombre dans la folie. Ce film est une étude de l’âme humaine et de la façon dont la mort peut l’affecter. Nous projetons d’engager un acteur professionnel pour le rôle principal (très difficile à jouer). Les autres rôle seront joués par des élèves de l'ecole. D’autres élèves intéressés par l’informatiq
