Francisco de Zurbaran Christ crowning St Joseph Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla

The Museum of Fine Arts of Seville or Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla is a museum in Seville, Spain, a collection of mainly Spanish visual arts from medieval period to the early 20th century, including a choice selection of works from the so-called Golden Age of Sevillian painting during the 17th century, such as Murillo, Zurbarán, Francisco de Herrera the younger, and Valdés Leal.
The museum was founded in 1839, after the desamortizacion or shuttering of religious monasteries and convents, collecting works from across the city and region. Originally, the site held the convent of the Order of the Merced Calzada de la Asunción, founded by St. Peter Nolasco during the reign of King Ferdinand III of Castile. Extensive remodeling in the early 17th century was led by the architect Juan de Oviedo y de la Bandera.

Green Day traveling art show

Image by Logan Hicks
I organized an art show for Green Day and their recently released 21st century breakdown album. Below is the official press release for it.

GREEN DAY’S UPCOMING U.S. TOUR TO FEATURE A ROVING GALLERY SHOW OF INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS AT EACH VENUE

ARTISTS SUCH AS RON ENGLISH, THE LONDON POLICE, AND C215 CREATED WORK INSPIRED BY EACH TRACK ON BAND’S LATEST ALBUM 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN

DATELINE – Burbank, CA – Green Day have a special treat in store for fans attending their U.S. tour this summer. A roving art gallery will be set up at each venue to display work by a collection of eclectic artists from around the world, each of whom has been asked to create an original piece inspired by a track on Green Day’s new album 21st Century Breakdown.

The show is curated by New York-based stencil artist and die-hard punk-rock fan Logan Hicks, whose portraits of band members Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool, and Mike Dirnt will also be on display. A passionate art and music lover, Hicks has assembled an impressive group of noted artists – including world-renowned New York-based painter Ron English, Amsterdam-based street artists The London Police, French stencil artist C215, and British illustrator Will Barras – to show the connection between music and art.

"I chose artists whom I felt had a similar visual approach to art as Green Day does to its music," Hicks says. "Although most of the artists represented are well-established in their careers, they embrace the same emotional rawness with their art, which speaks from the heart and swings with the fist. Their subject matter is struggle and injustice-they shoot from the hip and their art is their weapon."

"We are really excited to be touring with this incredible show," says Armstrong. "Seeing the pieces that our new album has inspired is very exciting. Many of the artists Logan has chosen show their work on the street, and we feel a strong connection to that type of creative expression. We think the fans coming out to see us on the road will love it."

Green Day’s 2009 trek is the band’s first proper tour of the United States and Canada in more than three years. The tour begins July 3rd at Seattle’s Key Arena and will cross North America through the summer, including a July 27th stop at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, before finishing up with a show at the Forum in Los Angeles on August 25th.

KrisVerdonck-EXHIBITION1-PELLET

Image by Z33 art centre, Hasselt
Pellet: the mass of undigested parts of a bird’s food that some bird species occasionally regurgitate, syn. a casting. (Wikipedia)

PELLET’s threatening dark ball is inspired by ‘The Cares of a Family Man’ by Franz Kafka. The story tells us about the ‘unheimliche’ creature Odradek, that looks like a star-shaped spool with thread wound upon it. The ‘family man’ in Kafka’s text is afraid that the creature is likely to survive him and will still be rolling through the house when his grandchildren will be living there.

The scaling issue in digital art

Image by kevin dooley
Squaw Valley #19. This is a blurb I posted with a different photo in November. Since I have a lot of new contacts I decided to repost…

Flickr has made me observe a very interesting issue of SCALE in art. Does a piece of art look the same in one physical scale versus another? In Flickr, an image better look good in thumbnail if it’s going to get attention. Certain elements do well in thumbnail: humans, repeating geometry, landscapes, bold colors, flowers, bokeh. Pictures dominated by detail and/or subtlety, on the other hand, really only look good when viewed larger, and thus suffer in popularity.

As McLuhan said, "the medium makes the message". As the visual arts went from the physical to the electronic, it enabled scale. I wonder whether we really think of our images very much in terms of this complex issue of scale of view. In this paradigm, is an image that only looks good in one scale a lesser-quality image than one which, all things being equal, looks good in multiple scales?

Practically, on Flickr, I believe that while the quality of a larger version of an image is what generates faves and "custom" comments, it’s the quality of the thumbnail in large part that determines views and "award" comments.

New Orleans – CBD: Ogden Museum of Art – Me, Knife, Diamond and Flower

Image by wallyg
Me, Knife, Diamond, and Flower, executed by James Surls, was installed in front of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art on February 7, 2008 on loan arranged by Sculpture for New Orleans as part of its cultural recovery.

Stephen Goldring Hall, featuring 47,000 square feet of exhibition space, stands as part of a larger, three-building complex that makes up The Ogden Museum of Southern Art, University of New Orleans, an art museum with a particular focus on the visual arts and culture of the American South within the context of the region’s history and culture. The museum’s features the Stephen Goldring Hall, Howard Memorial Library (renamed the Patrick F. Taylor Library), and the Clementine Hunter Wing. The museum is built off of the collection of Roger Ogden, a Louisiana businessman and philanthropist. By the mid-1980s, Ogden had collected a full range of paintings that recounted the history and changing aesthetics of painting in Louisiana.

Concrete plans for the Museum’s future were laid down in late 1994 when the public announcement of the founding of The Ogden Museum of Southern Art, built upon a gift of works from the Ogden Collection to the University of New Orleans Foundation. By 1999, the museum’s five-story Stephen Goldring Hall was under construction and its historic library was under restoration.

Honestly, I only meant to adjust the colours a bit and it turned into some infrared channel black and white tintgasm. Its not my fault. There were too many sliders. I couldn’t help it.
