English designer Morag Myerscough creates environmental graphics combining a great sense of color with a great sense of typography; what could be better? Having started Studio Myerscough in 1993, the studio has collaborated with important architects and worked on spaces that range from museum exhibitions to five children’s dining rooms for the new Barts and The Royal London Children’s Hospital (four of which can be seen in the top four photos.) All of Myerscough’s work exudes happiness and fun, which seems like the perfect combination to bring a little joy to a children’s hospital. There’s much more to see on Studio Myerscough’s website as well as over on the Supergroup site.

Becoming Van Gogh might be Dr. Timothy J. Standring’s defining exhibition. Standring is the Gates Foundation Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the Denver Art Museum and has curated nine exhibitions there since 1989, including Inspiring Impressionism, El Greco to Picasso from the Phillips Collection and Impressionism: Paintings Collected by European Museums.
Becoming Van Gogh examines the evolution of the largely self-taught artist through more than 70 paintings and drawings, most by Van Gogh, but also key works by artists to whom he responded or reacted: William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Jean Francois Millet, Adolphe Monticelli, Paul Signac, Emile Bernard and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. The DAM is the only venue for the exhibition, which brings together loans from more than 60 public and private collections in Europe and North America (the museum doesn’t own a Van Gogh). The exhibition illustrates Van Gogh’s foray into mastering draftsmanship, understanding materials and techniques, learning…

Repository 53: The Elephant in the Art Room

There’s been a recent slew of articles and missives online reacting to the overflow of and confusing melange of art speak in the art world from artist’s statements to gallery press releases. Somehow there is momentum in this topic, but it’s important to remember that the topic is over 30 years old. Critics such as Robert Hughes reminded us in the 80s that,
Jargon, native or imported, is always with us; and in America both academe and the art world prefer the French kind, a thick prophylactic against understanding.
He was fully aware of this language “that intimidates…subjecting the reader to a rite of passage and extorting assent as the price of entry”. Hilton Kramer (another peer critic of Hughes) preferred the term “academic twaddle”.
So instead of wasting any more time critiquing the words used, it’s fair to…

Lordy Rodriquez is the living definition of an American. Born in the Philippines, raised in Texas and now living in California, the artist began his artistic exploration into the language of cartography as an undergraduate by reconstructing the States of America via maps. Albeit, maps that were condensed, reshaped and revised based upon his experience of being a naturalized citizen and those long drives between Houston and New York City.
“In the beginning the work looked a lot like maps. I’m not appropriating the image of cartography but the visual language of cartography,” Rodriquez said during a recent artist talk at the Dikeou Collection in Denver where they are hosting an Art Swap exhibition with ArtPace in San Antonio, bringing works from the Texas residency founded by Linda Pace (Pace salsa) to Dikeou in Denver. Rodriquez is one of the artist’s whose works are being shared. While maps may be…

A foggy day at the cemetery – some years ago
tree:)
I’m afraid there will not be much time for photography this week, so I thought I’d share with you some photos I took some years ago. It was a foggy winter day, and I went to the cemetery to capture the foggy mood. These photos are all from my Flickr photostream (not very active at Flickr these days, WordPress takes up all my time … 😉 ). I am posting them as they looked like when I first posted them to Flickr, I have not re-edited them. Enjoy 🙂
