Cleveland Museum of ArtCatherine Opie: 1999 & In and Around the Home, Opening at MOCASubmitted by Evelyn Kiefer on Fri, 09/29/2006 - 00:24.
09/29/2006 - 19:00 09/29/2006 - 22:00 Etc/GMT-4 ![]() I attended the artists talk with Catherine Opie at CIA Wednesday night and I can't wait to see her show. A serious photographer since the age of 9, Opie works in the traditional (non-digital) format. Her approach to subject matter is very architectural and indeed she said if she had not become a photographer she would have become an architect. Some of her best known and most challenging work are portraits of members of the gay and lesbian community. Community is a recurring theme in Opie's work -- its what drew her to photograph surfers (as in this portrait), ice houses, and certain cultural/ethnic groups. Location

Dana Schutz: Paintings 2002-2006, Opening at MOCASubmitted by Evelyn Kiefer on Fri, 09/29/2006 - 00:06.
09/29/2006 - 18:00 09/29/2006 - 22:00 Etc/GMT-4 ![]() I went to the pre -pre-gallery talk at CIA yesterday (actually it was called a "brown bag lunch") so I know a little about what this painting is about. Let me preface, only Dana Schutz can really explain her work, live in-person is best I'm sure, maybe video would work, but the printed word in the form of gallery labels or anything else would never do Dana or her paintings justice. So I encourage you to go to her pre-gallery talk at 6 pm at MOCA. Location

Hypnotica paintings by Jen Omaitz: opening reception at e.gordon gallerySubmitted by Evelyn Kiefer on Wed, 09/27/2006 - 13:15.
09/29/2006 - 18:00 09/29/2006 - 22:00 Etc/GMT-4 Hypnotica, paintings by Jen Omaitz at e.gordon gallery. I could not find out enough about Jen Omaitz online, I found some images of her work but I did'nt think that they represented what you will see in this exhibition. So I did'nt post them. The works on the postcard I received from e.gordon gallery appear to be abstract landscapes or urbans scenes, the colors are dark and rich with streaks of bright color that look like neon or blurry colored lights photographed with time lapse photography. The card says they are oil on canvas. Go to the opening and see for yourself. Location

Coming soon to the CMA: Barcelona!Submitted by Evelyn Kiefer on Sun, 09/24/2006 - 23:23.
Salvador Dali (Soft Construction with Boiled Beans Premonition of Civil War), 1936, oil on canvas 100 x 99 cm Artists, intellectuals and anarchy – sounds like just what Cleveland needs? It worked for Barcelona!
The Cleveland Museum of Art reopens October 15th with an absolutely incredible exhibition that is not to be missed: “Barcelona & Modernity: Picasso, Gaudi, Miro, Dali.” Any one of these artists would be a huge draw for a museum exhibition -- Cleveland is lucky enough to get an exhibition with all four. This exhibition, for the first time, puts these four great artists and their contemporaries into the context of the unique city of Barcelona and the region of Catalonia. The show includes hundreds of works (painting, sculpture, prints, textiles, decorative arts; furniture, ceramics, jewelry) never before seen together by masters you should be familiar with and their contemporaries -- they will amaze you as well.

See map: Google Maps Steven Litt says County is going wrong way and must stop and consider other prospectsSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 09/20/2006 - 00:16.
Cleveland Plain Dealer Architecture Critic Steven Litt is really stepping up to lead the march for a better designed Cleveland, as he has been the lone mainstream voice for intelligent redevelopment of the I-90 bridge and is the lone voice at all for saving the landmark Breuer Cleveland Trust Building on East 9th, between Euclid and Prospect, which for 15 years Jacobs demolished by neglect and now Cuyahoga County Commissioners want to demolish by force, all to build a replacement building for their offices, at great cost to taxpayers... this is the Jacobs Coast Guard Station fiasco X 1000, and community leaders are letting this one slide too.
September 19th: Talk Like A Pirate DaySubmitted by Evelyn Kiefer on Mon, 09/18/2006 - 22:47.
09/19/2006 - 00:00 09/19/2006 - 23:59 Etc/GMT-4 Don't forget, September 19th is a holiday: Talk Like a Pirate Day. It will be interesting to see -- I mean hear -- how many Clevelanders participate. I must admit I am not that into the idea, but I really like this portrait of a proud pirate woman by one of my favorite artists, Arabella Proffer Vendetta. Count this work as "Art of the Day".

Issues of Glocalization equally important in Toronto and ClevelandSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sun, 09/17/2006 - 00:49.
This weekend the Toronto arts and culture scene was world-class beyond belief, featuring the final weekend of the Toronto Film Festival, the opening of the new Four Seasons Opera House (premiering Wagner's Ring Cycle), many smaller community arts festivals, and two major arts festivals – the Queen West Arts Crawl, featuring over 500 artists and galleries along mind-blowing Queen Street) and the august 11th Annual Canadian Art Gallery Hop. The Queen West Arts Crawl was way cool, but I stayed in Toronto an extra day for Software Freedom Day and the Canadian Art Gallery Hop, as that featured a free “Glocal Live Roundtable” of many of Canada's arts leaders. “The term GLOCAL fuses global with local and points to the meshing of macro and micro realms of experience in the contemporary world of Internet technologies and instant information. The speed and collapsing distances of this new reality hold challenging implications for traditional identities and communities, along with promising opportunities.” The roundtable was astounding... see below for detailed notes of interest to all concerned about arts, culture and the economy, local to anywhere in the world and global.
Don't Believe the PD, there is no arts and culture in WestlakeSubmitted by Evelyn Kiefer on Wed, 09/13/2006 - 20:53.
And I would know, I grew up there. Only the developers of Crocker Park and such -- and their supporters -- would pretend this sculpture represents real art and culture in Westlake. Promoting it as such is part of an insidious plot I see developing. See the PD article Monday September 11th. The abstract stainless steel sculpture by Balazs is definitely an anomaly in Westlake. Westlake should be very proud to have had some hand in producing a nationally acclaimed sculptor, and at $30,000, I think they got a good deal, too. See the article on the dedication in the Westlife newspaper.
