DUBLIN.- Kerlin Gallery is presenting A Musical Instrument, the first solo exhibition in Ireland by Justin Fitzpatrick. In Fitzpatricks paintings, figurative forms appear enmeshed within complex systems of processes, sounds, memories, and ideas. Bodies morph into musical and mechanical apparatus, while objects become animated or anthropomorphic. In one painting, a human heart is swapped for a glass armonica, an 18th-century instrument with melancholic tones once thought to induce madness. In another, a masked ... More | |

More Heritage and Hasbro join forces to present a mighty, morphin, once-in-a-lifetime auction in NovemberDALLAS, TX.- For over 30 years, Hasbros Power Rangers franchise has been an unstoppable, ubiquitous force of nostalgia a unique blend of Spandex, pyrotechnics and rubber-suited monsters that evolved from a Japanese live-action television series into a global phenomenon. In the early 1990s, along came this unlikely juggernaut about a group of ordinary teenagers in brightly colored costumes, doing karate and piloting colossal robots. A team that showed us: We can all be Power Rangers. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers debuted in 1993, adapted from the Japanese tokusatsu franchise Super Sentai, and it didnt just captivate children; it conquered them, quickly becoming the most-watched childrens television program in the U.S. The formula was simple: Aliens invade, teenagers morph, monsters grow to the size of skyscrapers ...

More Daniel Hauptmann opens an exhibition of new works at Haverkampf LeistenschneiderBERLIN.- During a studio visit, I asked Daniel Hauptmann about a work with a camouflage pattern painted on it, saying that its layered panels and curved contours reminded me of a car, or the body of some kind of vehicle. A landscape machine, he suggested in response. The phrase stuck with me, not only because of the strange humour in it, but because its an interesting proposition that a work of art could be a kind of machine, that it is for doing something. Questions about function versus representation arise often in Daniel Hauptmanns work, without ever quite finding a conclusion. Hovering somewhere between painting and sculpture, his practice suggests an ambivalent relationship to both, and a reluctance to be reduced to the merely decorative. His boxy constructions often borrow aspects of furniture design: panels, thresholds, ...

Flashback On a day like today, British painter William Hogarth died October 26, 1764. William Hogarth (10 November 1697 - 26 October 1764) was an English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic and editorial cartoonist who has been credited with pioneering western sequential art. His work ranged from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called "modern moral subjects". Knowledge of his work is so pervasive that satirical political illustrations in this style are often referred to as "Hogarthian.". In this image: A visitor looks at a William Hogarth painting 'David Garrick as Richard III', on display at Tate Britain art gallery in London, Monday, Feb. 5, 2007.
