Galerie Michael Janssen opens 'Anders Kjellesvik's Conceptual Romance'BERLIN.- All of a sudden, a point detaches itself; like the nucleus of a cell, it grows, the colors are clustered around it, heaped; rays develop, shooting forth branches and twigs like ice crystals on the window panes
and the picture reveals itself to the viewer, who has assisted at the birth of the painting. August Strindberg Anders Kjellesvik relates his material-based approach to August Strindberg's 'chance in artistic creation,' where the artist relinquishes control over the final result, allowing time and their surroundings to influence the character of the artwork. Similar to Strindbergs celestographsexperimental paintings that the Swedish writer created by exposing light-sensitive plates to natural conditionsKjellesvik utilizes pigment printing in combination with a slow painting process to observe how the materiality of the paint ... More Barbie that flew on landmark International Space Station mission to go on public display for first timeLONDON.- The Design Museum today announced a history-making and out-of-this-world Barbie will be included in its upcoming major exhibition on the design history of the famous doll.

More Exhibition surveys the trailblazing practice of American painter Al HeldLONDON.- White Cube presents Al Held: About Space, an exhibition surveying the trailblazing practice of American painter Al Held (19282005). Bringing together masterworks from across his five-decade career, the selection reveals the extent to which Held realised novel modes of form, space and colour, navigating spatial complexity through a combination of hard-edged geometry and spontaneous gestural expression. Describing his work in a 1977 interview as a space that is in constant flux, that is never at rest, that is relational, [1] Held engaged in a continuous process of trial and reinvention, experimenting with scale, form, surface and colour to explore the potential of spatial abstraction. In the late 1940s, Held availed himself of the GI Bill to pursue his artistic studies, first enrolling at the Art Students League in New York then venturing ... More Libraries and arts programs spared from cuts in NYC budget dealNEW YORK, NY.- A major second wave of cuts to the New York City library system has been averted in an eleventh-hour deal announced Thursday by the City Council and Mayor Eric Adams.

More Buzz Cason, songwriter best known for 'Everlasting Love,' dies at 84NEW YORK, NY.- Buzz Cason, a guiding force in the early days of Nashville, Tennessee, rock n roll and a writer of the pop standard Everlasting Love, a surging profession of undying devotion that reached the pop Top 40 in four consecutive decades, died June 16 at his home in Franklin, Tennessee.
