Indeed, a successful art expo, an analysis

THE interesting thing about the first ever Nigerian Art Expo, which winds up today at the National Museum, Onikan, Lagos, is that it has, again, fulfilled one other important promise of the Joe Musa’s led National Galley of Art aimed at re-positioning the visual art sub-sector to becoming a one stop point for investment and tourism in the country. Early in the life of the present administration, the National Gallery, under the dynamic leadership of its present director, had organized a first in the history of the parastatal’s art stakeholders forum at the Eko le-Meriden Hotel, Lagos, where artists, investors and interested stakeholders converged to brain-storm on ways to re-positioning the production, marketing and preservation of Nigeria’s contemporary art.

Art + Auction

To paraphrase a Supreme Court justice on pornography, I know art when I see it. Specifically, when I see it in museums or the pages of trendy art magazines. Who doesn’t like Edward Hopper or Michelangelo? But I met John Chamberlain, who makes sculptures from crushed cars, and Joan Mitchell’s abstracts in the pages of Art + Auction, an oversized monthly that marries “Page Six� to features on, as Sondheim wrote in “Sunday in the Park With George,� “the art of making art.�

Sadanand Menon: Falling down the hole of art history'>Sadanand Menon: Falling down the hole of art history' border=0> Sadanand Menon: Falling down the hole of art history

A few days ago, I dozed through a rather desultory conversation, on Lok Sabha TV, between painter Krishen Khanna (83) and art critic Geeti Sen, till Krishen said something that made me sit up. It matched what I have been saying for some time. He said, "Art history does not interest anyone anymore and, what is worse, they don't even think it is important."

Art a la carte: How restaurants are becoming the new art galleries

Ever since Picasso and Miro painted for their supper at La Colombe d'Or, high in the hills of Provence, in the south of France, the close connection between art and food has flourished. Today, fabulous original works of their art hang on the walls and bear testimony to the unique deal the artists struck with the restaurateur. They were hungry and penniless, the restaurant had acres of bare walls, so what better than to knock up a picture or two in exchange for a free meal? While this might not still go on in today's rather more ruthlessly commercial eateries, many modern restaurants are still showcasing all forms of art. Artists range from the modern masters who ate at La Colombe d'Or to leading contemporary figures such as Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin.

New Media and Museums in Eastern Europe

New media art is no stranger to eastern Europe and the Balkans; from the early net.art of Vuc Cosic to the collective work of Apsolutno, these regions were the proving ground for many groundbreaking experiments in media, politics, and art. So the upcoming international symposium on (New) Media Art in Museums this October in Croatia signals that the region's consideration of media art has come full circle from unknown outsiders and agitators to curated collectibles (not too dissimilar to the path traced in other regions or for other "avant-gardes"). The intersection of cultural institutions like museums with new media art continues to confound both artists and curators alike. No standard institutional model has arisen for the collecting of such work, for how to frame it in the overall programs of the museum, nor how to preserve the work.

Art Deco Living In Stanmore - 01/07/2008

Art Deco was a style that flourished through the twenties and thirties as stylistic changes occurred to many visual mediums. Inspired by the age of speed, architecture conceived during the Art Deco period consisted of simplistic and modern geometrical lines. An opportunity has now arisen to buy into this enchanting period with an impressive art deco style property in Valencia Road, Stanmore. Although now relatively rare, the sleek, white, asymmetrical style of art deco houses is a striking and somewhat refreshing alternative to the many rather uniform red bricked buildings of today.
