The library is delighted to announce the opening of Newton South High School’s first show in our Young Adult Art Gallery located on the second floor. For the first time in the gallery’s short history ceramics will be displayed in the cases adjacent to the gallery wall. A Snapshot of Newton South Arts will be on view from spring through early fall 2011 and includes a variety of media. A lively opening reception with food provided by Whole Foods Market took place on Saturday, April 2 at 3:00 pm in the Trustees’ Room and included a gallery tour.
At any given moment during the academic year, Newton South visual arts students are developing their creativity and building artistic skills in a variety of media. Student work is collected in college-bound portfolios, displayed around the school, at the Newton Education Center and entered into the Boston Globe Scholastic Art Awards. This year Newton South art students received more Gold and Silver Key awards than any public or private school in Newton and the surrounding area.
While much of Newton South’s award winning work is displayed in other locations, the Young Adult Gallery exhibition is an accurate reflection of the quality and breadth of work produced by South students. The pieces were selected from students’ work in the following classes:
•Ceramics Teachers: Cindy Goldberg, Karen Sobin-Jonash
•Digital Art Teacher: Carol Ober
•Painting and Drawing Teacher: Megan Leary-Crist
•Photography Teacher: Robert Bouchal
The library wishes to extend its gratitude to Eric Blomster of abraxis framing co. in Newton, who generously donated his time, and provided the frames and mats cost-free, and to members of the Newton Camera Club who hung the show.

Street Art In Limerick City
visual art
Image by infomatique
Culture

The Belltable Arts Centre on O’Connell Street hosts for local playwriting and drama. Mike Finn’s numerous plays have been successful, including Pigtown, set around a century of the city’s history, and Shock and Awe, an energetic retelling of Homer’s Iliad. The new University Concert Hall provides a large venue for national and international acts to visit the city. Limerick is also the home of several "street theatre" companies, including "Janzo Street Arts" and "The Umbrella Project" street theatre companies.

The Limerick City Art Gallery on Pery Square is the city’s chief venue for contemporary art exhibitions. It is home to a permanent collection of Irish art, which shows works from the early 18th to 20th century. Limerick’s major contemporary art event is EV+A (Exhibition of Visual+ Art) which invades the city annually, often in controversial ways. Established in 1977, EV+A has become one of Ireland’s premier annual exhibitions of contemporary art. Selected each year by a new curator, it brings international artworks and art by Irish artists to Limerick. The centre of the exhibition is the Limerick City Art Gallery, but EV+A generally uses numerous other venues throughout the city.

Other active Limerick arts groups include Contact Studios, which provides individual studio spaces for visual artists; the Daghdha Dance Company, a contemporary dance company that has adopted a renovated church in John’s Square, adjacent to St John’s Cathedral, as a performance space); the Fresh Film Festival, which is held each spring, and includes films made by young people (7–18 years) from all over Ireland; Impact Theatre Company; and Limerick Printmakers Studio and Gallery, which provides printmaking facilities, a venue for exhibitions and events and an education programme. The Limerick Youth Theatre provides young people with an opening into acting and production. It received attention in the national media with its 2005 production of Romeo and Juliet, which made comparisons between the ongoing feud in the city with that of the Montagues and the Capulets in the play.

The city has an active music scene, which has produced bands such as The Cranberries and guitarist Noel Hogans’ MonoBand, The Hitchers and many more. World-renowned electronic musician Richard D. James, more commonly known as Aphex Twin, was born in Limerick in 1971. The Limerick Art Gallery and the Art College cater for painting, sculpture and performance art of all styles. The Irish Chamber Orchestra and the Irish World Music Centre are both based in the University of Limerick. The University has a thousand-seat state-of-the-art concert hall that frequently hosts visiting performers. Limerick is also home to comedians The Rubberbandits , D’Unbelievables (Pat Shortt & Jon Kenny), Jimmy Carr and Karl Spain. Dolans Warehouse on the Dock Road has two venues specialising in live music; an upstairs venue which tends to accommodate comedians and folk and jazz acts, and a much larger warehouse venue holding 400, which tends to stage more popular (usually rock) acts, both national and international. Dance music is catered for at Baker Place which holds mainly local underground nights and Trinity Rooms which has regularly hosts big names like Hot Chip, Groove Armada, DJ Yoda and Jazzy Jeff alongside more cutting-edge names like Dan Le Sac, Christian Smith, and Missill.

The city is the setting for Frank McCourt’s memoir Angela’s Ashes and the film adaptation. It is the setting for the contemporary coming-of-age drama Cowboys & Angels and Robert Cunningham’s Somebody’s Daughter, which was shot in various locations around the city and had its premiere in King John’s Castle in July 2004.

A limerick is a type of humorous verse of five lines with an AABBA rhyme scheme: the poem’s connection with the city is obscure, however, the name is generally taken to be a reference to Limerick City or County Limerick. Sometimes particularly to the Maigue Poets, and may derive from an earlier form of nonsense verse parlour game that traditionally included a refrain that included "Will [or won’t] you come (up) to Limerick?" The earliest known use of the name "Limerick" for this type poem is an 1880 reference, in a St. John, New Brunswick newspaper, to an apparently well-known tune.

Flickr.jpg

Getty Images’ scheme for licensing images from the photo sharing site Flickr has added its 500,000th image. The half-millionth image was shot by system engineer and photo hobbyist ‘Jiangang Wang’ for Tianjin, China, of the Minato Mirai development in Yokohama, Japan. The licensing deal, started in June 2010, allows Flickr members to offer their images for licensing by Getty. If Getty chooses to accept the request, the photographer can choose how to license their images, at rates comparable to Getty’s other images libraries.

Just posted: Sony RX1 real-world sample images – now updated with high ISO samples. We’ve had the chance to shoot with a near-production RX1 and have started to put together a samples gallery. These are some of the first full resolution independent samples to be taken with an RX1. We’ve shot a range of subjects, both in good light and in low light at high ISOs. As usual we’ve included a range af apertures and focus distances too.
