Afternoon Torque by Ronda Waiksnis
Flags, UFOs and Bad Weather
LuminArte Gallery
June 9 through June 30, 2012
Under the tenets of conventional wisdom, each of the following words; flags, UFOs, bad weather would appear to evoke distinct emotional responses that are completely unrelated. Artists however are not bound by such tenets. Seemingly unrelated concepts when combined often provide the precise creative force necessary to break down traditional barriers. …continue reading LuminArte Gallery Presents Flags, UFOs and Bad Weather

Mexican Modern Painting from the Andres Blastein Collection
Meadows Museum
Through August 12, 2012
The Meadows Museum’s summer show Modern Mexican Painting from the Andres Blastein Collection warrants attention from a number of standpoints.

I asked Wordspace director Karen X Minzer why they chose to include this type of event since it didn’t sound like a literary evening. Karen said that Laney is a writer that uses visual media to accentuate the monologue. …continue reading The Claire-Eoke All Media Review at Wordspace
