I painted this picture today while visiting the studio of local artist Frances Semple.

But why would I call my painting Spray Noszel?

Robert Randall stands beside his artistic vision of Domestic Bliss. Just how ephemeral this work will be, reamins to be seen. Will Open Space paint over it when the exhibtion is over? Or will it remain as a home for visiting artists in future shows?
By far my favorite work in this […]

Yes, it’s true! The Hungarian band Sziami broke the Guiness Book of World Records for the longest concert given by a band - they played, non-stop for 48 hours!
Non-stop: the rules permitted a 5 minutes break every hour, and if they played more than one hour, non-stop they could accumulate the minutes to take […]

Perhaps the most important thing I got from the workshop and the festival is the complexity of creating a meaningful work of art using modern technology. While the workshopping artists were able to realise partially satisfactory technical results, it was the invited artists presenting at the festival who managed to say something with the medium (Max/Msp/Jitter).

The most successful of these isKo Kon nashi, presented on the first evening of the festival (written about in my first post about the festival) and realised by an international collective. Also, last night’s Bridges - presented by quintet.net

Another highlight for me, was the fluid, multi-colored, inkblot-like image created by cycling74.com’s Max/MSP/Jitter software - manipulated at this concert by Austrian composer Johannes Kretz. What started as a simple purple circle, flowed, bounced, and morphed into a constantly evolving psychadelic inkblot. It literally flowed with the music - as the Jitter program is designed to directly respond to the intensity of sound.

I met this artist from Moldova a couple of weeks ago at Ari Kupsus’* monthly salon concert. Ari was exhibiting Alex’s paintings which are mostly bold, striking colors.
I am intrigued by how Alex’s work will be viewed in a hundred years. I ask what it will say about painting from this […]

Not sure if this means I have been spending way too much time at home alone with my computer, or if looking at Tamas Waliczky’s animations sparked something, but I stumbled on NYC’s 1-20 gallery’s website today and while cruising the artists, Kiki Seror caught my eye with her eye…but it was this […]

‘Sculptures’ Tamas Waliczky
A 20-year retrospective of Hungarian media-artistTamas Waliczky’s work opened this evening (Saturday) at Millenaris Park. It’s his first major exhibition in his home town, having left Budapest many years ago for the advantages of living and working in London, Paris, Tokyo and Berlin. Tamas is currently a professor in […]

I was awed by Dennis’s performances: slide shows accompanied by readings from his writings - presented with the unshakeable confidence and surety that he had a right to be there and do what he was doing. And I’ve always remembered the words he spoke to me after my first performance at Gallery 101 - a reading of my work called ‘Nurse Mary Meets the Sassy Squash’ - accompanied by slides of some surrealist drawings I had done. He said -in that very direct and matter-of-fact way he had of speaking - that made even me pay attention:
